ZZP HID Headlight Mod

[tblake]

Hey guys, I was considering doing the ZZP headlight HID Mod to my car. I was just hoping I could get some feedback or tips and tricks to install it from someone who has been there and done that.

Basically right now only want to do the headlights and not the fog lights. I'm a little worried that this will look dorky with HID's for headlights and regular incondescant for foglights. Anyone have a picture of their car like this?

Also where did you guys install all the components? Have any pictures? Thanks guys!

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

well...i can try and explain it to you. my GTX is in storage right now so i cant take a pic for you. the ballasts can be mounted on the bar that goes across right where your hood latches. i cant think of the name of the part, but if you look right when you open your hood, theres the support that goes across...you mount the ballasts on the front part of the bar...towards the grill.

as far as not having the fogs...it does look dumb if you dont have the fog light kit, so i always just leave the fog lights off.

if you have any questions, or need further details...i can just take a pic underneath the hood of my GT or SE and point out exactly where i mounted the ballasts.

Thank you! If it looks dumb without the fogs HID kit, I should probably consider both of them. Might have too many ballasts and things mounted all over the place.

BTW, I think your referring to the radiator core support.

BTW, hows the GT's tranny?

actually the tranny has been good so far after the rebuild. I've put about 6K on it so far...knock on wood

but yeah...the radiator support, there ya go. guess i was at a loss of words for what it was called

another thing i was looking at when i was considering buying the fog light kit is where to mount the ballasts for the fogs. i dont think the connecting wires that go from the ballast to the fog lense would be long enough to go from the the radiator support all the way down, and i wouldnt really feel safe mounting the ballasts towards the bottom of the car cuz then they are open to the debris and weather that is on the roads.

and with us up here in the midwest...if you drive the car in the winter, well...you know what I'm gettin at

Midewest? Where are you? I'm in MN. Hows this cold summer? Doesnt it suck? a foot of snow the 2nd week in June, and the last couple weeks in august have highs of 70 and lows of 40. Global warming? BS!

[grandprixgtx00]

I'm in WI. actually our summer has been perfect from what i see. you got snow the 2nd week in June!? i dont think we had any of that.

in the last week or so, the nights have gotten pretty cold though

Duh! Now I feel stupid!

Yep, washed and waxed my car one day in may when the temp got up to 70's finally, and then two weeks later June, we got a foot or so of snow. I was pissed!

[grandprixgtx00]

whats the word on the conversion kit...did you end up doing it?

[tblake]

nope, insurace bill coming soon along with the holidays. I need to save as much money as possible right now. I'm considering getting a second job.

How is the job market up in MN. The Chicago job market has tanked.
