I also changed the cornerlamps to some "hyper whites" and they match the headlamps much better.

Word from the wise: DO NOT attempt to put 90mm into 4th gen headlamps, they are too big and are a huge huge pain to make them fit. I had to wrestle with these and work my headlamps over and over to make the fit correctly.

Also, finding a place for the ballast was a bit tricky. So i hid them behind the fender (where the cold air intake filter sits) on both sides.

Ballast:

Battery (love optimas!)

I also was able to use the stock rubber shield in the rear of the headlamps to help protect the inside from dust and debris... with a little cutting and hacking

You said not to use 90mm .. but you DID get it to work .. Give us some tips

Also, can you take a shot of inside the cabin with the car stationary and again when its parked from a distance so we can see the travel of the HID's on the road ?

wow they look great, you should have done a write up!

what did it cost you? also did you have to seperate the headlights, and if so, how did you do it.

soccer3303 · 01-14-2004, 07:33 PM

those are not 90mm's. Bi-xenon's are not 90mm.

I say not to use 90 mm because i had to modifiy the projector to get the headlamp lense back on the headlamp housing. Also, they way i mounted the projectors in... its barely hanging in there. Lots of headaches.

I can assure you that they are 90mm and they are bi-xenon. I measured them before but i can't find the picture with the measuring tape.
