Default HID question

So, I ordered an H1 hid kit for my JDM one piece headlights. However, will these work? Meaning with the ballast and wires and all? Because the area where the bulb sits is covered. Or is it only possible to get different H1 bulbs without the ballasts?

If it came in the kit, it should work fine, just remember depending on the kit you bought, you might have to take off the plastic cover off the bulb before installing.

is this the OEM Hids or just the non hid ones? the regular beams have the plug visible the covered ones are the high beam and that brown plug is where the wires go. I trust you have the PW:JDM harness or direct wired it?

Should show you how to get the bulbs in there. Im guessing you just leave the back cover off.

There it is. It has a cover that is held down with two screws. I'm assuming only way to use my hid kit is if I leave that cover off right? It's going to look so terrible.

Bad news.

Since the h1 bulbs don't fit. The hid bulb seems so long compared to the halogen h1 bulb. Besides, the halogen bulbs go connected into a female connector? That is all.

Another thing, I ordered an h4 kit for my headlights, thinking it would fit and no, I guess the part that mounts onto the headlight is bigger on the h4 bulb well damn.

Quick question!

I have searched and found two answers.

Which bulbs do the JDM one piece fog lights use? For the 1990-1993 Integra.

H1 or h3 or something else?

Also, would you guys recommend something like Piaa or Nokya? Or make a custom hole where I can insert the cables for the hid conversion?

Please don't run HIDs in RHD headlamps in a LHD country. It's blinding to oncoming traffic.
Please don't run HIDs in halogen reflectors. It's blinding to oncoming traffic.

What kind of person would even consider doing both?

I appreciate your suggestion, however, that isn't what I asked. Although I understand your concern, I simply asked what would YOU GUYS recommend? Besides that I asked a couple of other questions. So, I am a human being just like anyone else here haha.

Thanks again. Bump.

If your just trying to make the fogs yellow, I've seen caps they sell on ebay that are tinted and install inside of the light some how. If not just get some regular yellow bulbs, nokay is decent and piaa should be pretty good as well.
