i have the halo projectors from the Club RSX store installed, i had to take my bumper off to install them obviously, but im going to put the Super HID's.com H3 6000K kit in, and i was wondering if im going to have to take the whole bumper off, headlights etc. to put the HID kit in too. or can i do it with the bumper and lights still on the car?
thanks

2 hours man. It's not that hard.
Take bumper off - 20 mins
Remove light units - 15 mins
Put HID bulb into unit - 5 mins
Cut holes in light plugs for HID wire to come out - 5 mins
Replace plug, seal around holes you cut - 5 mins
Screw ballasts onto car - 10 mins
Screw igniters onto car - 5 mins
Reinstall light units - 15 mins
Wiring ballast + light to existing input - 15 mins
Put the bumper back on - 20 mins

Total time: 115 mins, being pretty generous

heh, thats a relay. :p

i've just heard ballast/ignitor been used interchangably before (both referring to the big silver box), so i was like......wtf, 2 per light? :D
Ahhh, that makes more sense to me too. But everyone seemed to call the black one an ignitor... which me ask "if the ignitor ignites... then.... what's the ballast do" :laughing:
