HID Conversion

Installed some HIDs on my 05 without the HID.
Old and New:

HID inside the housing:


The typical night time wall shot:


To install, its pretty easy. Its a 1 min job for the plugging but a bit for the bumper removal. I bought the 9006 fog light conversion kit off of umnitza. I got it a while back for another car but that didn't work out. I'm not sure if they sell it anymore or not.

Wow, it looks like the cutoff is perfect. I was worried that halogen projectors would scatter the light too much. So the 9006 kit from Umnitza was plug and play?

yes it was. no splicing. it i did have to figure out which one was ground and which was power but that was easy. Black is always ground and black with white stripes was obviously power. It is 6000k i believe. I'm not sure but doesnt halogen and xenon use the same projector bulbs and just different light bulbs?

yah the reason why it doesnt scatter is because of the projectors , the regular halogen reflector lights is what causes scatters, those are in civics and ur regular cars like camry, older accords etc.

well now, i got the kit for around 300. Umnitza is a site. www.umnitza.com. They are well known to the BMW people. As for projectors, the little round glass ball inside your headlight housings stock. All i did was add a new light bulb. Yes, you can adjust the height by turning that metal knob on ur headlights i believe. I'm not sure so i hope someone replys about it.
