so i bought my car with a mecca tune hid system(1999 si) and im not sure what bulbs/harness to buy. i think its 9006 but i have no clue. any help whould be cool.

 

Is there anyway you can post up pictures of your existing bulbs? Most folks would recommend you do a retrofit on your existing lights, have you ever looked into that?

 

i dont know if i stil have them, when they went out i yanked all the hid stuff untill i had time to deal with it.

they are already retro fitted, im just not sure wich bulbs/ harness i need for this set up and the prev owner cant recall either.

Oh okay. That's rough man, sounds like it's gonna be a pain to find out what kind of bulbs they are. Any idea on what the projectors are out of? That way, we can atleast narrow it down some.

 

take a picture of the plugs, and light sockets

 

here are a few crappy pics. the digi cam is down.

 

just got mine today.. its a H4 10000K....

 

Those are tight but are mine 9006 lol?

then just swap the plugs off of^^^ with the plugs off your original mecca tune bulbs and your good. i have mecca tune kits in both my civics. i swapped both sets of bulbs to the ones in the top link to eliminate the glare associated with the original mecca tune bulbs(no bottom light shield). great ballast though. their made by hella. hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the link, but i think i want them a little bit higher than 4300k
Can i use and h4 bulbs with this or do i have to get "mecca tune" bulbs

 

why do you want a higher kelvin temp. then 4300, just curious

 

4300-5000 is the highest you should go.

Period.

More Kelvin = Less Lumin

 

i guess there is no point i forgot lower is higher when dealing with hid's.
Can anyone point me tword plug and play bulbs so i dont have to but adapters as well.
if not ill just order what jspecsir suggested

It's not just for HIDs. It's for light in any form. You should visit the link in my sig.

 

If you need replacements, go here:

And it's the bottom part where you select your base and color.

 

you can buy them from meccatune. last time i checked his ebay id is lucenthid. just send him a message. i used to have their phone number.

I went ahead and took your advice and ordered these. how do u like the visibility and color of the bulbs?

 

great, i can see way better with this setup, than the 8k setup in depo headlight in my 94 si. i have the setup your getting in my oem headlights in a 94 ex. way more output, with extremely white light. youll like it.

 

sounds like i will , thanks for all the help. will post pics when i get them in.

 

Ok well i finally got in my bulbs and i hooked everything un like it was and i cant get power to the ballast, i run direct power to them and they still dont come on and "buzz" like they are suppose too.
Any help, both ballast worked when taken out one bulb just went out but the other blew up inside the headlight and all the hid stuff has been in my garage ever since

 

make sure you put the power plugs in right, they will plug in backwards quite easily. the clip goes closest to the edge, not the center of the ballast.

 

ok i will try that, does anyone know a way i can test the ballast to make sure they are good or bad?

 

12v and ground. either they work or they dont. also make sure power is through a relay. they pull alot of current on startup.

 

ok well it was backwards, they work yay .... but now bigger problomes..
