Newbie Question #812 - Changing bulbs to fit HID kit

Firstly thanks for the tips about fitting speakers. I now have some decent Alpine speakers in the rear. One speaker i had to take apart with tin snips and pliers but it came out in the end. The shit speakers car manufacturers used to and still do put in nice cars is shite.

I will take off the door trims on the weekend to put some 6" speakers in.

 

Reet ebay HID kits from OZ. The headlamps in the ZX - the big rectangular headlamps inside the pods do bugger all but the circular lights work - is this normal?

I have taken the circular plastic cover on the rear of the circular lamps but i cant get the bulb to pop out of the rubber. From what i have read i think i dont have to take out the whole headlamp pods as this is a fiddly job. Can i just remove the standard H3 bulbs to pop my HID ones in?

There's no need to remove the headlamp pods to fit new bulbs (HID's or standard). If your HID kit is the correct type then it should be a straight swap. If not then you've got some modifying to do ...

 

By the way, the big rectangular lights - or also referred to as main beam - should certainly light up. Perhaps their fuse isn't working or there is a problem with the wiring to them.
