Ok guys i thought id do a recent how to guide for any newbies or people who may have installed these kits before in other cars eat but every car make id different in most cases , this guide is my own interpretation / take on the install ,this guide was correct for me and i take no responsibility for your own installation.
CAR - 2016 Insignia
HID KIT - london colour http://www.ebay.co.u...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
KIT SPEC - 35w error free ballasts , 9012 6000k bulbs
TIME - under 1 hrs (depends on your ability) can be installed in around 20 mins tho.
TOOLS REQUIRED - none needed
DIFFICULTY - 3/10
OK so ill keep it as simple and straight forward as i can, we are going to install the HID kit and locate all the ballast and wiring inside the the headlight housing so it looks OEM and factory.
STEP 1 - remove the headlight cover from rear of housing .
on the drivers side its fairly easy to do this its just a 1/4 twist and its off
on the passenger side its a little more tight
you do need to remove the screen washer filler tube its just a straight pull upwards to remove this
now it twists off
STEP 2 - remove the stock halogen bulbs
STEP 3 - unplug the bulbs multi plug
STEP 4 - layout your new HID kit note you don't need the red and black wires i removed these to make it easier to squeeze it all into housing later
STEP 5 - this is optional i taped up the blue wires which are extra grounds ( i may go back and ground these at a later date
STEP 6 - install the HID bulb in same manor you removed the stock halogen - just pop in and a 1/4 turn to secure it
STEP 7 - connect up the connectors ( they only fit one way so can't go wrong) .
multi plug that plugged into stock bulb plugs into the ballast the the 2 wires and plugs from HID bulb connects to the corresponding ones from ballast ... easy yeah
STEP 8 - Test to make sure all is working sweet
and a comparison HID xenon v Halogen
STEP 9 - fitting it all into the housing ( hardest part ) try not to lose the head with it . it does fit
STEP 10 - replace headlight cover by 1/4 twist and job done
a few pics of the installed and video of follow me home headlights when opening / locking car
Anyways guys i real hope you find this helpful , please comment or if you want to add anything in that I've missed or questions just fire away
thanks
