Just double checking that I am about to wire these correctly. Has anyone had any trouble wiring directly to the stock harness? http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa164/awoliver/hids.jpg

Yeah thats the right way to do it but are there any long term effects of wiring it to the stock harness? http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa164/awoliver/DSC00852.jpg:banana:

The stock wiring really isn't designed to handle the power demands of the ballast on startup. Do some research to find out how to make a proper wiring harness.

Good luck with the RHD beam pattern.

save time, money, and hassle and just buy the conversion harness.

I ran these light's for two years with zero problems . The rhd beam pattern was corrected by making it flat and I never got flashed when using these .

OP You could have asked me and I would have helped you out with the wireing . I hope you're enjoying them as much as I did .

problem with filing done the cutoff line is that you make the lights very low because your eliminating the left step.

Corrected? Perhaps, but its not optimal.

I agree it's not as good as your retrofit's or edm's but output is still much better than stock light's and noone is blinded by them . I did what I could with what I had to work with and they came out great IMO :) .

Output is the same, it's the beam pattern that had been altered.

When I first got my JDM's I did the same thing, it's not much better. Do it right and retrofit a projector with the proper optics / beam pattern into them. There have been successful retro's with TSX, FX, RS6, S2K and probably others.

I'd love to find a 2nd pair and see if a TL / ZkW hybrid will fit in there.

I'm going to try and get mine to work when I get done with work.
