Re: How-To: Install HID kits

Re: How-To: Install HID kits

if you have slim ballast, i mounted mine ON TOP of the headlight, right behind the chrome bar on the chevy grills, theres space under the mount bracing where it fits perfectly

Re: How-To: Install HID kits

i just wanted to thank 2wenty2 for this how to again....its a simple and straight foward install. This helped alot.

Our lights only have a vertical adjustment right?....The beam cut off on my Xenons don't look as "flat" or "smooth" at the top as yours do.......They seem to have like a "C/U-shape" to them.....kinda hard to explain......i'll try to get a pic.

Re: How-To: Install HID kits

Just vertical adjustments....

As for the C shape, some are different... Blake up here had the c shape while mine was a flatter shape... no clue why.

Re: How-To: Install HID kits

It probably has to do with the shape of the arc in the lightbulb.
