Leo's the guru. PM him for prices etc.
He's in the vendor section under hks180 LED's & HID's. You'll find more 'enlightenment' there.

Hey Mitch, i've installed HID's in most of my cars and currently running a set in my B4 now... just get the H7 6000K kit and it's pretty much plug n play

Yeh had hides but looked shit so gonna get a mate to fit some projectors

Once you go HIDs, you won't got back! I've done my headlights and fogs now! Once upon a time... you could even get reverse HIDs! But I'm not that crazy! ahaha!

HID's are awesome, but terrible in reflector headlight housings - mainly for oncoming traffic...
Go for the 35W 5000k Ballests/Globes - wont attract to much attention from the plods.

That's why I want projectors

HID's in Gen3's are fine providing you keep it down to the 35w globes as Anson suggested. Those lights housings are designed for HID's as that what they fit for the JDM market.

I opted for projectors on mine and never looked back.

So how do we get projectors on Gen3? is it a custom thing or ready to buy?

Major customisation required

Major hack and slash required. Along with tweaking to make sure they're properly lined up.
If you really want to do it. Have a look here: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/. The sell various different projectors and the shrouds to hide all the fixings etc.

The JDM B4's had factory self adjusting HID's I have all the loom everything in my recent RX to B4 conversion, even got the HID projector headlights, but unfortunately I've got two dead ballast's on them. I'm looking at replacing the ballast, does anyone have any suggestions?

That's why I'm gettn my mate to do it

Its all custom but there are kits you buy to do the job:



From memory, I used "G1 projectors" as they were the right size I was after. G2's are bigger, and G3's bigger still. And no I didn't carry out the work myself. Cannot trust myself doing that!

Normally I would have a go but my mate does it for a hobby and he does a killer job
