Hey guys i just opened up my headlights and found out that my bulbs are wired? how would you go about replacing these? 6000k HID 35W Bulbs.

 

im confused.... whats wrong with it?

 

The bulb burnt out.. lol and the bulb itself is wired to it, i bought it like this, and havent done an HID kit before. sorry for sounding noobish.

 

The bulb is wired to what? You mean there's no socket, the bulbs pins are just wired right in to the harness?

No offense, but this just adds to my argument that most HID "conversions" are hack jobs. I hate half assed HID conversions. I know you bought it like this, which is why I don't think you'd mind my honesty lol.

 

Yeah thats what i mean, like why would they wire them right in, i guess the previous owner didnt think they could burn out.. lmao, but now im stuck with one burnt out light, so i aimed my high beams to be lows.. and i dont think i could use my regular socket to seat a regular bulb in my projectors.

 

You definitely don't want to use a regular bulb in those housings.

Go pick up a new bulb and just match the pins with the bulb that's blown. Buy some universal plugs at Autozone and make a plug while you're at it.

 

Oh now I see it... WTH was the previous owner thinking? Doesn't even appear to have any sort of ballast system at all...

I would say if you can, get a replacement socket like Vivid Racing said and solder that back in, and then pick up a new HID kit and do it right this time around

Is this for OEM or aftermarket projector headlight?

 

Nvm. Found some pictures of your car here in the S&S section so yeah projectors.

Go see if you can find an H7 harness from a autozone or something and then replace them back in.

 

Im just going to say screw it, try and find sockets for it, it has ballasts and everything, just no sockets for the bulbs..

 

well I would recommend just picking up a new kit. that way you know what you're getting and no sense in replacing one bulb by itself cause you never know if the other bulb is on its way out or not.

pick up 2 sets of sockets and do each headlight and then pick up a kit like the DDMTuning one. at least they have a lifetime warranty that can help you out in the future if another problem arises

 

Well i know for a fact the other one isnt close to going, i havent used the other one since the other one turned purple, then burnt out the next day, its been the halogens everyday, where can you pick up those sockets? and which bulbs would they be? h7?

 

I'm surprised nothing burned up already... yikes

 

Whys that? they dont get that hot, they have ballasts for them, and the housings are fine.

 

Just see it as a risk for a short, that's all

 

It's been fine this far, thanks for the input all!
