Eventuful afternoon! Got my parcels and decided to fit my HID's whilst it wasn't raining for once.
Firstly, bumper off. Such an easy job, yet so annoying due to plastic expanding rivets which are pants.
Now I could see the extent of the wheel arch liner damage.
It should be like this:
Instead, it looks like this:
Opened my parcel and got my brake duct stuff, aswell as a first aid storage box (just for storage under the drivers seat) which I forgot I even bought!
Then got my 5000k HID's out, which were reppacing my 6000k chav look HID's.
From here on, I cracked on with the job and didn't get any pics.
What I did realise though, was that there was about half a litre of water inside my O/S headlamp, which is what caused the ballast to fail. Dried it out best I could but it needs opening up to clean properly.
When I first got them fitted, they kept flickering, so removed them and fiddled about woth the connections. Re-fitted and they worked! Lovely.
Got a couple of quick pics of the light output. So much better than my old ones which were a bit chavvy. These are a nice crisp white, similar to audi/range rover xenons.
Tomorrows job is to fit that storage box.
