I have just purchased a second hand HID kit the trvor sold (4300k)

Two problems.
1: There is a broken notch on the light

Here is what its supposed to look like


Have any of you ever experienced this? Also how much will this affect
me and what should I do? Will this be a big problem?

2: Can u all post pics where u have mounted your ballasts.(or at least explain?
Prefrebly the drivers side ones (USDM)


Thank u all in advance!!!

 

I actually had that kinda prob. where the notch is broken. But I don't think that will give you any big problem.

Did u get it broke? or did you break it accidentaly?

regarding your 2nd question,
this is where I put my ballast

 

Thanks for the reply.

1: The notch was broken from the person I purchased the kit from
2: I would love to mount my ballast there but my alarm "speaker"
resides there. (ANY OTHER PLACES??)

TY All

 

^bump

 

You can put it next to the engine mount. It is wedged in there pretty tight

 

If I remember correctly, there are two other notches so the bulb wouldn't really pop out accidentally. You're fine as far as I can tell.

 

Thanks for the replies... anybody know where I can get those Audi A6 projectors for cheap now

Behind the bumper cover would be my suggestion.

 

If you take your front bumper off and look inside the driver's side fender, there's 2 holes down there where you can mount a custom made bracket. That's what I plan on doing.

Thd passenger HID ballast fits well under the ABS bracket, and as for the right one, it goes here on mine:

 

BTW - Is this second hand HID kit made to fit into a 9006 housing?

If it is, then you can't use these bulbs with Audi A6 Projectors.

 

Hey. I accidently broke that exact same peice. The problem you will encounter is the light will not turn on right away and during hard bumps the bulb light will cut off. Kinda annoying. NE ways what I did was i switched the busted bulb to my drivers side and there are enough things around that i twist tied the bulb on tightly. Since then no problems. Email me for some pics.

correct. You can, however, buy projectors with some D2S bulbs in a package or seperately and you'd be set.

And that's a trevor kit so those are D2S bulbs modified to fit 9006 housings.

 

What is the proper way to clean the bulbs? Alcohol, is there any special procedure?

denatured alcohol is what I used to clean the bulbs.. no real special procedures..

 

Ok, I have just got the lights and now they are installed. I was going to ask you all with HIDs, how do you have the bulbs placed inside the projector?

Which way is the "electrode" facing? up/down? I have seen it on the
board before but I cant find it now.
