Default Projector headlight to HID

Not as easy as I thought, It will take me a little more time to figure this out, The Biggest issue is the Light bulb in the Projector Headlight Is H3U And It isn't the same as my low beam. So I will look for this Bulb at 12000k temp and see if I can find it and then order it and then I have to play with the wiring. It will take some trial and errors but hopefully I can get it together soon. For the time being I will Install them just like they came but I will figure out how to convert the Projector light to HID. One thing that will help is to research how the beamers and mercedes and other imports have HID since they they use projector headlights. I will keep everybody updated.

Dam them for changing the bulb size on me and having it wired differently because of Halos.

Here is the bulb that is inside the projector headlight and it does have thie wire connected to it, Its not to bad to change out, I have to figure out the wiring of the HID Kit. Its just gonna take some time to figure this out. The bulb should be no problem to get. I probably will just buy a H3 HID Kit from HID World off ebay and then see how it looks and figure out the install. I think I am going to ask a few questions to HID World since they have helped me a little before too.

Sounds great. Can't wait to hear what you've figured out.

I have no problem messing with the electrical stuff on my quad, but my car is a bit different... (don't know why, parts are way more expensive for my quad)

GREAT NEWS, I went to 602 motorsports around the corner from my work and they said my bulbs should work and I need to hardwire my bulbs to the new headlights, So I asked can they show me and we can do it together, they said no problem and I am gonna tip their installer and take them a six pack of beer. So Tomorrow I will be there and will try to take some good pics if they don't mind too much. We will see if my bulbs will fit and if they don't because they are too long then I will get a different set of bulbs. The people at 602 are really cool and they have done these installs before, I look foward to solving this.

EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD, I LOVE MODDING!

So I get my 12000k H3 Hid kit today and take one lamp out and remove the bulb and the two connections it has and use those connections for the new bulbs and they just snap in to place, it is really easy. Then you screw the bulb in and plug the connectors that go to the ballasts in and then put the headlamp back in and then turn on the car and it looks ten times better. I have the right side done and I am doing the left side now, I will post pics and the how to install in the very near future. Just give me some time to do a good write up.

All you have to do is order an H3 HIDKit from HIDWORLD FOR $100 INCLUDING SHIPPING AND PIC YOUR COLOR TEMP LIKE 8000K 12000K SO ON. I couldn't believe it, everything goes into place nicely and I didn't have to cut any wires at all.
