i NEED HELP FINDING SOMETHING TO HOLD MY HIDS IN PLACE. iM USING DUCT TAPE FOR NOW. but my car has alot of bounce to it and wen i notice the bulbs start to aim downards. anybody got some info on wat i can use?/

 

haha zip tie on on the radiator support

 

i did dat already but u gotta understand i seen ppl use these plastic plates that u insert the bulbs and they stay with no problem..

 

Why don't they lock in to place like your original bulbs? Is this a kit you're using, or did you just try to jam OEM HID capsules into your stock lights?

 

hmm sounds like the latter.... holding bulb in with duct tape... so sad

 

We do have some creative ideas already...
duck tape, zip tie, plastic plates...

OMG if you used OEM stuff you would not have this...
I say JB weld..or any kind of glue but this thread is so funny..

 

wat kind of car do u have dude. this only would happen if u have an rsx.

What does an RSX have to do specifically with this thread?

 

What type of bulb is being used? And what kind of car is this for?

 

97 honda civic.. stock headlights..im tryin to figure out with that rubber cover the stock lights comes with will it fit. do i have to do any mods or anything?? i have h4/9003 bulbs.. not a bad kit for 120 with waterproof ballasts and purple bulbs with pink highbeams..

 

Your HID bulbs should have a base like the picture below. Now there is a metal clip that holds the bulb onto in the headlight. The metal clip is part of the headlight that is secured in by a screw. If you don't have it, then your bulb won't stay in.

As for the rubber grommet, just run the wires of the bulb through the middle of the rubber grommet.

ewww that sounds extremely crappy and ugly why the crap would you want PINK high beams???

 

pink highbeams looks like a deeper purple..and u gotta understand its for show only. u kno when ppl is showin off i dont turn em on often. i use the purples for street use.

 

thx man..ur about the only helpful person on this thread...

 

So do you have rebased bulbs or are you sticking OEM D2-based HID bulbs into your stock housings?

 

dis is wat i did...i bought these black housings on ebay..they didnt come with that metal pin with the screw like the oem ones have. so i fit the tabs to the appropriate slot.. den i made sure the aim angle was all the way up and i got sum adhesive that turns into metal and then put heat proof ducttape that way the power steering and/ or any other heat will burn thru my wires..im using some aftermarket hid kits with dual bulbs.
