Did a very clean HID install yesterday. I got 8000K slim kit from https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ve...t-members.html. Ordered them very late on Thursday and got them Tuesday morning.

I like to try and do quality, OEM looking mods, so that is why I took the long approach to this one.

I started by removing the front bumper: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...lustrated.html
Front bumper removal is missing pictures.

Then I removed the headlights. Very easy just 4 screws, 1 on each side and 2 on top.

I will be placing the ballast in the stock location.

By gccruz at 2010-07-21

I sanded down the little nub in the middle so the ballast would sit flush.

Then I fabricated a aluminum strip to hold them in place.I had some laying around from an other project. I also used the supplied double sided tape. Just me playing it safe.

I cut mine brackets a little short, but still long enough to be held on by the other bolt. I think I used 1" or 3/4" M6 bolts that were just sitting around.

I used a strip of double sided tape to hold on the HID module.

By gccruz at 2010-07-21

This is the best location to place the module for clearance purposes.

By gccruz at 2010-07-21

Made all the cables all neat and tidy.

Did all the connections and works great.
Also a big thanks to JRox, and his DRL delete (Easy install, Oem out of sight look and Zero flickering). Well worth the money. Here is the Ebay link since I cant get the EvoM one to work for me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-...#ht_2207wt_958

I have also started to to produce a few exhaust covers. I will be working on different designs to get a more flush look. My mold is set up for my current design so they will be based somewhat on it. I will only be making a few due to supplies. Pics ain't the greatest, sorry!

Hey GC, I just painted my gas tank cover matte black and it looks great. I didnt use plastidip like you did, but it looks hot nonetheless. Thanks for the idea! Your car is coming along nicely!
