Blinded by the light
by Sy on May.24, 2009, under Mods, The 172, Work carried out
Picked up a brand new set of 6000k HIDs from a lad on ClioSport that bought them but never got round to fitting them, bargain.
Piece of piss to fit, sadly no pictures as my Dad was “helping” lol.
- Remove front bumper
- Remove headlights
- Find a suitable place for the ballasts (under the headlights)
- Remove the dipped beam bulb and holder
- Plug everything in as instructed
- Fit HID in place of dipped beam
- Test
- Rinse and repeat on the other side
- Refit headlights
- Refit front bumper
- Stand back and admire you handy work
All in all it took “us” about 40 minutes all in to do. Well worth doing IMHO as the standard lights on a Ph1 fucking suck. SRSLY you would get more light holding a candle in front of the car. With the HIDs in the amount of light cast in majorly increased so driving at night on unlit roads is no longer a terrifying experience lol.
