HID question for halogen lights
 

Ok so I'm about to order a HID kit and I need to know if I need the code eliminator or the extra wire harness ?

Please don't do it. Properly upgrade your lighting instead of blinding others by having terrible light output/pattern. Buy new head lights, perform an FX-R retrofit or something.

you might get hassled by cops. since HIDs in non projector housings are illegal. just an fyi

Yes you will need an error canceler.

Look at Solidjake's writeup.
search: "Do's and Don't s of lighting."

Haha I don't care about blinding cops I have had about 15 different cars with HIDS and I have never got a ticket for that. And thanks mpr77 I will Order that to

With an attitude like that, you deserve to get a ticket. And your license taken.

Hahahahaha that's hella funny kiss my ass so what :)

Hella? Go buy another Integra and rice it up. :rofl: Inb4 thread lock

You don't need the canceler. Rthats a waste of money. I forget the ne'er but look it up its under te hid retrofit under the DIY section.
I have HIDs and I use a capacitor instead of the code eliminator.
Only about $2 per cap.

After I installed those, my lights dot flicker, nor do I get an error light.

I also am doing the projector retrofit tonight.
I was an ass and ran 5k HIDs with reflector bowl... But I'm beig nice an Doig te retrofit.

But honestly, the cap ha been working for about 6 months no issues.
I'll be flashing the LCM shortly.

Sorry for any typos. Trying to get used to the iPhone keyboard.

Lol there's some nice people on here but for the most part everyone else is a **** talker from what I have seen

Some people are trolls. Others live life by the rule book it came with.
But the hid's... Kinda a dick move, but can't speak seeing as I've got them now.... Lol

But I'll look it up when I get home later. It's like a uf3700 cap. Something like that.
It's in the hid projector retrofit diy. Works amazing. No codes. Nothing.

Ad, muuuchh cheaper than an error code eliminator.

Also, you'll have to hollow out the bulb holder. Just cut the back off, and take a dremmle and care out the inside so the HID fits. Takes about 5-10 minutes.
Only way to make it work.
I'd buy 2 new ones, just as a back up incase. $15 for BMW.

Don't put a hid kit in the halogen lights....

If I knew your license plate I'd call your local police department and have them look for you.

I'm not trying to be an ass but its not illegal because its in reflector bowls.
It's illegal because its a modification to the car that isn't factory installed.

And all the spivics with HID's in reflectors running around, police just sit care anymore.
And 4.5k lights look like a super bright halogen bulb.
