Posted October 22, 200618 yr I put them on yeaterday - it was very easy. THe only slightly hard bit was fiding space to mount the boxes which increase the voltage. They look awesome - but I haven't tried them in the dark yet as I was away last night - looking forward to trying them later! I might post a pic but I'm never convinced they show that much anyway.
October 22, 200618 yr Author Just been to the shops - I don't need to wait until dark - I could see the difference in daylight. Looking forward to taking it out once it is dark. :dance:
October 22, 200618 yr Nice one Tim ,it makes a nice change to see were your going at night :dance: :dance: It,s the first mod i,d reccomend to anybody :bow:
October 22, 200618 yr I put them on yeaterday - it was very easy. THe only slightly hard bit was fiding space to mount the boxes which increase the voltage. Out of interest, where did you mount the boxes? I'm struggling to find a good spot, so that I can still shut the bonnet and the wires will reach, unfortunately both of which are a requirement...
October 22, 200618 yr under neath the lights them selves is a good place, loads of room, only thing being you might have to take the lights off, this is where they are mounthed on the 99 spec lights. i've also seen them mounted on teh side of the inner arch, just a few for you. Cheers Neil
October 22, 200618 yr Glad your happy with them :) Every customer is suprised how much of a difference they make. We tend to mount them underneath the nose panel.

Cheers Neil We tend to mount them underneath the nose panel. Thanks guys. I looked at mounting under the nose panel, but I'm not sure I can make the leads reach, si it looks like the lights are coming out then :rolleyes:
October 22, 200618 yr Thanks guys. I looked at mounting under the nose panel, but I'm not sure I can make the leads reach, si it looks like the lights are coming out then :rolleyes: The H.I.D lights we sell and the ones we have fitted for customers puchased elsewhere have all reached. You have to feed the cable underneath the Intake pipes, its tight, but will reach.

I'm struggling to find a good spot, so that I can still shut the bonnet and the wires will reach, unfortunately both of which are a requirement... Passenger side I mounted on the fuse box, driver side I've attached it where the alarm siren is - I'll take a photo later. I looked under that pannel between the headlights but it would have been more difficult to put them there.

October 23, 200618 yr We tend to mount them underneath the nose panel. I'm thinking of mounting mine here. Any pics? Thanks Ivan

I'm struggling to find a good spot, so that I can still shut the bonnet and the wires will reach, unfortunately both of which are a requirement... The one on the right is next to the fuse box. The one of the left is turned through 90 degrees and just infront of / to the right of the alarm siren.
October 27, 200618 yr Hids are one of the next things on my to do list. Can you not just extend the wiring loom for them?
October 27, 200618 yr Author I noticed the boxes get quite warm - almost hot. Is this normal or have I mounted them too near the engine / fan? Any idea anyone?
October 27, 200618 yr Ballasts will get warm no matter where you mount them. Ours now have a heatsink build onto the enclosure to facilitate better heat transfer to atmosphere. And no, you can't extend the wiring by splicing into them. Specialist wiring is involved. Dan
