DIY Install HID Conversion Kit

10th November 2006

My friend bought a set of HID conversion it from zth and installed it into his Toyota Vios. Then he found that the glare is too much no matter how he adjust the angle of the headlights. Even eyelids also can't help to solve the problem. So he decided to sell it off. Then he offered me a good price for this kit.

The installation took me about 2 hours as there are some wiring mistakes i have done earlier as the wiring of this HID kit was modified earlier. I took my time slowly to hide the ballast n wiring to get a neat installation.

The results, very bright headlights!!! Fine-tuned 3 times to get the correct angle. The best thing about this kit is the high-beam which works like a normal bulb's low-beam which is quite useful at road-blocks. Hehe...
