smooth1 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 To switch to the HID from standard halogen isn't exactly plug and play, but easier than most conversion kits in that the headlight housing has the ballast compartment built in. You'll need to disconnect the halogen plugs and rewire them to the ballasts that get mounted underneath the headlight housings. As for the auto leveling, that should be standard and is a different system altogether. But yes the HID has the auto leveling function also. If your ordering the HID housings you have posted. ( I can't read Japanese), but from the picture it has the ballast and connectors on it. All you will need is to get the connectors on your car that plug into those changed over. An easy fix though.

martinchan Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 many thanks for the reply smooth1 my next question is does anyone of you have the wiring detail of connection from the halogen head lamp convert to this H.I.D head lamp ? Is the auto leveling motorised? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelt Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The autolevel has to be motorized, but I dont know if it is just the bulb, or the lens, or the assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
