Well i just bought Denso thin ballasts, ignitors and all supporting hardware from an IS300, along with 2 Audi A6 projectors with bulb connectors..i will be reviewing skafia's instructions very carefully before i even begin.........For those who have already done this mod....Is there any last minute advice or any potential problems that I should watch out for or be aware of before doing the retrofit ?? Thanks guys

Take your time? Re-seal the headlights very well, to avoid the moisture inside the headlights. . .

 

measure, remeasure, then remeasure again before cutting. Take your time, don't burn your housing.

 

good luck! post pics when done

 

as said already just take your time and im sure it'll come out looking great.

 

Where did you score all the goods from?

I got the HID kit from someone here on H-T, and I got the projectors from ebay.

IS300 HID setup including Denso thin ballasts, d2r bulbs and ignitors: $250 shipped

Audi A6 projectors with bulb connectors: $150 shipped

$400 altogether......not the best deal, but not the worst deal either

I wanna thanks Patrick GSR, and the rest of you guys that helped me go from being totally HID ignorant, to piecing together my first setup ..thanks a million guys

p.s. I noticed that on Skafia's HID website, in his other directory labeled itr, he is standing in front of a stolen itr.....was that the same car that he did the HID retro on......if so, that sucks so bad....

 

i just found out that it was his car........

 

If you follow Skafia's instructions with wiring you are gonna have a problem, make a harness and use a relay to do it right and not start a electrical fire. check out HID planet if you havent already search for harness, it'll show you the better way to do it
