Let me know how it goes.... should be pretty easy, just put the bulbs into the housing and connect the wiring and find a dry place the mount the ballast.

OKay they're in... Very Easy.... bout 10 mins per side...
Look unreal... take about 5 secs to warm up and change colours (looks cool) They are EASILY brighter than old ones... bout 3 or 4 times brighter... and look awesome on the road... couple of quick pics but they really dont do it justice...
Anyone on GC wanna look gimmie a bell...

Installation was a breeze... globe plugged straight into the headlight just like a standard one... then i just found a good spot nearby for the ballast and then snipped off the old light plug and wired it to the ballast.. bout 10 mins per side... Looks unreal.. folowed some mates last night they said it was unreal.. to find me they just looked the the blue/white head lights...
Have had everyone say they look awesome.. even my girlfriend...

Interested, Need to see the cut off line.

Samson, can you get a better pics, better quality. The colour is not shown at photos taken with mobs.
Also can you take a photo in front of a bright wall to show us the cut off.

what is a cut-off??
is that a line between the dark and the bright area??
is that important?

correct, there needs to be a sharp line, no light above the line

lawrencetlc wrote:is that important?

incoming traffic gets blinded if cut off is no good, also, unable to adjust the lights propertly

johhny · Post by **johhny** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 2:54 pm

FTO's has projector head lamp, so i think the cut off should be fine.... if you dont want to blind on coming traffic make sure the light is pointing down.

lawrencetlc · Post by **lawrencetlc** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 11:45 pm

go to any mechanics which can produce RWC and they will be able to adjust the height of the beam for you guys...

they have standard height and width... so, shouldnt be a problem at all...

and yea, i think there shouldnt have any problem with projector lamp because there's a built-in metal plate or something within the projector lamp itself to make a cut-off line... if i were not mistaken... saw a diagram illustrating a projector lamp before... it looks cool

Please be under no illusion HID lights in a FTO are illegal, because the headlight was not designed for it, the car is not equiped with self leveling headlights and there is no high intensity headlight washers fitted to the car.

However can I get a set with 4300K globes.
