Who understands the EDM STI Bug Eyed Headlights
Hey guys,
What I am trying to figure out is this. I have read many threads. I have done searches. I have EDM STI headlights and they came with HID bulbs in them, 1. I was going to just buy a H1 HID kit but how will i retro fit around the cover? 2. So I keep the cover and tap into the orange loom. There are 3 wires in the orange loom, What are they exactly? Usally a light only has 2 wires to connect so I am a bit lost. Orange Brown Black - Ground 3. Does the brand matter light temp when buyin a ballast? i prefer BMW type looking not Super blue or purple http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...70/hidbulb.jpg So maybe someone can shead some light on the situation. Thread to help you understand what I am looking at. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...hlight=Ballast I just want to set up the HID's on my edms asap! Thanks, Chuck. AIM Chandy70

Well this is where you should have posted in the first place, and chances are a mod from the Int/Ext forum will eventually move your other thread here at which time I will deal with it.
As for your lights, there is no way they are EDMs. Only the JDMs came in an HID version, the EDMs were halogen only. If you were told otherwise, that info was incorrect. This means the beam pattern is RHD and should be modified before you install these on your car. You should have made sure these were complete before you bought them, apparently they did not include the ballasts which is a problem. The lights are set up to plug into the OEM ballasts, and in order to use aftermarket parts to make them work you will have to seriously hack them up. You can try to find a set of the proper ballasts someplace, but unless you are very lucky I don't think you'll be successful. Sorry I can't be more encouraging but that's how I see it. |

Are their any markings on a EDM headlight or JDM headlight that tells them apart?
Thanks, Chuck |
