Default Anyone using s2k HID's?

Could you tell me how you get power to the ballasts? Do you need a special adapter? And where would I get it?

you won't be able to get it to fit with out retrofitting.

Reason:

S2k HID/ JDM ITR HID is type D2S bulb, the base is totally different from 9006 on Integras. Unless you can change the base, good luck. Otherwise I would just buy HID kits designed for 9006 conversion.

The ballasts for these D2S bulbs will work with regular Philips/Hella Ballasts. they are designed to plug into D2S/ D2R (for non projector) bulbs.

Unless you have a JDM ITR 98 spec headlights on your car you can't use S2K HID bulbs.

If you want HIDs without going to the hassle of retrofitting, Buy 9006 HID kit and you will be set.

JDM ITR HID bulb model # is the same as USDM S2000 ones?

Which one is brighter or they are the same brightness?

Is it 4500k or what?

the oem integra hid is relatively the same brightness with the s2k hid lights. i believe the s2k has a clearer look, but not necessarily brighter.

yeah, I don't think the S2k hids are going to be much brighter, they are indeed stockers which usually run like 4300-5000k or so.

BTW, I have philips 6000k d2s on my jdm 98 spec lights and run hella/philips ballasts never had a problem, and they do look much brighter than OEM hids, without giving "please pull me over" to the cops.

Sorry to answer the dude's original question.

to get power to the ballast all you have to do is plug it up to your stock 9006 connector, if using the hella phlips type you can shave the connector a bit and plug it into the ballast, only thing you need to swap out your L/R low beam fuses to 20amp cause they will pop as soon as you try to turn them on.

other way is to buy a harness and wire it up straight to the battery (not necessary in my opinion) but safer none the less.

They might look that way to you, but they aren't.
