Are there any HID kits compatible with our car available?

 

Well I doubt there are any kits that are for the specific model as of yet, but I'm looking at some other kits that I've used previously to see if one (or two) is going to work well.

 

yea man... There's always HID kits available. Remember they are plug and play.

not sure if we run a 9006 or 9007. But we can figure that one out.

The only snag you'll run into is the fact that these cars come w/ automatic day-time running lights. You would have to bypass that in order to keep your lights from being turned on at all times.

 

is there anything wrong with having HID lights on at all times?

 

There's nothing wrong w/ it.. but why would you want your lights on during the day. Especially on a nice hot summer day?

The only thing wrong w/ it, really, would be that the lifetime of the bulb will be reduced due to it being turned on all the time.

 

^^ oohhh, i forgot about that. i think the bulbs lifetime is like 2500 hrs. anyway, if anyone figures out how to disable the daytime-lights, LET ME KNOW

 

Also the DRL system runs the lowbeam lamps at lower intensity. This is done by lowering and regulating the power sent to the lowbeam system. If you put HIDs on this, there's a good chance that the lower power signal being received by the ballasts may damage them.

Keep an eye on this. I'm tracing the entire DRL system and working on a workaround to either disable them completely or move them to the highbeams (like the 2000-2003 Chevy Impala.)

 

 

Okay.. that's nice.

Now tell us one thing... did you bypass the DRL's?
don't post a pic and write no text.

thanks

 

That looks good but I'm still worried about the DRLs.

 

Cut the wires......did it om my old dodge ram....

 

That's the thing, there's no wire to cut! In my post on the other HID thread this is what I've come up with:

Pulling the DRL fuse doesn't make the DRLs cut off.
There is no relay that I can find.
Still only two wires are running into the lowbeam lamps - positive and ground. Which means the voltage is regulated elsewhere, probably the ECU. There's really not a wire to cut.

 

i have more pix at my cardomain page. sign the guest book!

regarding the wiring. i basically switched the fog lights with my day time running lights.

any more questions?

here are some more pix.







took these photos with my phone. sry if its blurry.

 

Yeah one more question.

Writeup on how to switch the DRLs? Even with how you did it that's further than I've gotten.
