hey ya'll...i did a search but couldn't find anything...

i just picked up a a jdm type-r front with stock hid's...i heard that the ballast will not clear when the conversion is done, you'll (me) will have to relocate it...it that true? Please share...thanks in advance

peace

 

you have to melt the washer fluid bottle neck

 

thanks...does anyone have a pic of the HID coversion done on a US integ's

 

true...and if you have a 94-97gsr the abs will be in the way on the passenger side. IM zerozerotypeR he has an HID conversion and could possibly help you out. I asked him about that when i was going to buy an HID kit and he answered my questions

 

umm... i did the HID conversion on my roomates 01 gsr wit no problem... i did have to bend the ac lines a bit, but no biggie, they are pretty flexible, jus make sure not to break em and to make sure they don't touch the power steering pulley belt. As for the other side, i didnt have a problem at all with the coolant overflow reservoir.

For 94-97, the larger ABS unit requires relocation of the ballast entirely i think.

Hope this helps guys.

 

Yeah, you will need to bend the hell out of your AC line. It's kind of a pain if you want to try and make it look clean. It dishraged my system and re-bent the line in question with a tubing bender. You can always just shoved it out of the way if you are not particular, just be careful as it is easy to snap the line if you get too agressive. I didn't do anything to the washer bottle other than shift back a bit.

Here are some old low-res pics of my install:

i didn't need to melt anything. I just bent ac lines and that was all that I needed to do.

then its no problem
where does the coolant bottle get moved too
