Read the thread. There's multiple links to where you can get them.

Somehow, I am not surprised.

You're probably right, you probably wont hear the end of this. But look at it this way, you went back and man-ed up, corrected your incorrect statements - its the least any true man would do when spouting-off at the mouth without thinking.

Nice to know that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to my line of work.

note to others: quit buying these damn hid kits.

LA_phantom_240 · 04-12-2009, 12:49 PM

lol. Maybe someone needs to have his kit catch his front end on fire... maybe then Zilvia will stop even considering them.

Put a diode between the low and high beam wires. The stripe will be near the high beam wire. DON'T DO THIS ON STOCK HEADLIGHTS!!! That will put a nearly 100 ± watts load.

In my s14s, the highs and lows are on at the same time when i hit the highbeams... It's not supposed to be like that?

No mine's like that too i think it's normal.

Gordo714 · 04-16-2009, 11:38 AM

you guys are in a s14 though diffrent housing for high and low beam, im in a s13 H4 headlights low and high beams are in the same housing so can the diode thing still work.

OBEEWON · 04-16-2009, 12:40 PM

I retro fitted midget twins and gave them both spot lights to hold.

Now my headlights give me more power and angle.

But O'Bama trying to deport the bama's back to OZ.

Stupid recession.

LA_phantom_240 · 04-16-2009, 05:05 PM

lmao wtf obee?

Gordo714 · 04-22-2009, 01:41 AM

J90lude · 04-22-2009, 02:37 AM

Got Damn this thread is funny like shit haha..Im still getting my retrofit hids FTW!!

*fliprayzin240sx* · 04-22-2009, 07:56 AM

Hmm...so wait how do you do keep your lowbeams on and not flicker when you switch to highbeams? Who got the wiring diagram???

xtreme_s14 · 04-22-2009, 09:26 AM

ixfxi: Mike, right? I had a question about retro fitting HIDs into a zenki S14. First off, I absolutely hate how projectors look on zenki S14 headlights. But I was curious to know, if I retro fit projectors into the headlights, would it have any effect if I use the parabola (not sure if that's the word I'm looking for, but the tip of the projector?) of the projector to fit as flush and efficiently into the concavity of headlight housing. Would it effect the beam pattern or light output? I'm not sure if that made any sense? I'll try to get a Microsoft paint picture to show what I'm trying to get at.

WangonwWarrior · 04-22-2009, 09:41 AM

Are you asking if you can use just the projector bowl, and not the projector lens?

If so, no. You'll have an HID driving light.

Good lord! HID Silvia headlights from hell!

helikz · 04-23-2009, 12:02 PM

starting a s2k retrofit onto s15 headlights sometime this month.... keep you posted on the details, but s2k HID's are about the best i've ever driven.

seriously.

HID's go in HID projectors, otherwise they're dangerous and useless. They're a bit ricey on cars outside the aforementioned situation, and frankly, i wouldn't even be doing it unless I already had the AP2 ballasts, bulbs, and headlight housings.

AP2? Oh well. At least they're S2k projectors. AP1's are godlike.

im assuming ap2 projectors? IIRC they have a fresnel lens compared to clear ones the ap1s have
