I just completed with swapping oem HID light bulbs with 6000K color temp bulbs last night and wanted to share my experience. It was most difficult light bulb swap I ever had in my life but it was worth it. The total swap process took me about one and half hours since I had to remove the wheels and inner fender covers to get access to the HID housings. Anyways I took some pictures to share in below.

Good job looks much better, but a true DIY would show how to remove the fender lining.

 

Looks great! What HID-brand did you go with?

 

Nice write up. I just did mine last weekend. Changed both the headlights and fogs. On the inner lining behind the wheels, I had to take off seven push pins. Also, when connecting the harness back to the headlights, be sure that it "locks" into place. I did mine without "locking" and the passenger headlight went out. I had to take off the wheels and redo both sides

 

ya which brand did u use for the swap?

 

I went with cheap ebay HID shown in below link,

The delivery was quick and the quality of the bulb seem to be pretty good.

 

Nice do you know what type of bulb is it?

 

whoa $30 for a PAIR shipped??? I never realized they sold for so cheap..
Makes justifying $200 on a set of ultinons pretty difficult~~

 

I know huh...thats a damn cheap deal!

 

wat bulbs did u use for ur fog lights?

 

look in the dyi section. i did a write up on this

 

did you bake the headlights?

 

he sure did, a nice job too

 

why would he bake them to just replace the HID? that makes no sense

 

Thanks for UNV-IT46 and his pics, I wnet with Piaa plasma ions H1 for my fogs and Philips Ultinons D2S 6000k for my headlights.

UNV-IT46, I jumped onto your band wagon and went for the JDM look, I got a lot of compliments
