so its bascaly remove everything thats in the way and grin and bare the tight squeeze :rolleyes:

I would of thought HID high beam is really not worth it, as by the time they have heated up to temp you have to switch them off again! also if you keep switching it shortens the bulb life considerably.

You must earth the dipped ones or use a relay so you are not without lights when you swithch from one to the other, take up to ten seconds to warm up each time.

Better to use xenon 80w Ring H1 high beam bulbs ( almost the same colour as the HIDS )

It is possible to do without stripping anything, i did mine ok

I change my bulbs without removing stuff. Bloody fiddley but so is everything in the engine bay of a zed.

I totally agree. I use the Halfrauds 80w Ultra H1's. Identical colour to the HID's and outstanding visibility. Don't use the 100w bulbs as they send your wiring crispy then they crack and start to short out. (Oh yes I've done it)

The hid kit i have lights up after about 3secs after the 1st switch on, i did the same with my fiat coupe and the light was amazing.

 

Plus on the roads i drive on are in the sticks and only see about 11 cars in 10miles. Welsh Roads :D

 

How do you do the earthing mod then to keep the lights on???

did my H I D's without removing anything, was fiddly but well worth it, dont bother with bulb replacements, you just cant beat the gas power :dance:

All you have to do is run one of the dipped beam lights direct to earth on the chassis, the black wire. job done! the downside is that if you flash in daylight they both will come on but will take some time for anybody to see it!.

Thats super. so do you cut the black wire and leave it, then go from the bulb to the chasis.

 

Or do you branch off the black wire to the chassis if you know what i mean??

 

Thanks for your help :duffer:

I don't think you need to cut wires, just attach a wire to the black on one side and run it to an earth, I THINK - someone please correct me if i'm wrong as i am going to do the same when i get my car back.

correct dont cut any wires, just add an earth to one of original black earth wires ( splice in using a snap cnnector) and run that to an earth point somewhere close ( bolt)
