I have my morettes and the HID are on the way will it be an easy swap to just add the HID portion?

define "HID on the way".
Do you mean you've got a projector, ballast ignitor, bulb, harness? Or do you have a bulb and a ballast and an ignitor, and dont know how to put them together? or what? |

i think he meant bulb, ballast, and ignitor. as long as you have the H7 to D2S adapter you should be fine.

In any case, I guess my real question was, does anyone know if the STi reflector bolts into the WRX housing? |

And I have to have the D2s to make the bulbs fit in Morettes?
I thought if I had H7 bulbs they would fit perfect. |

I think you should be fine with the morrettes, projectors are less picky about HID than free form lights. Your "s" (distance from source to interface) will still be a little different, because am H7 base HID is still longer than an H7 halogen, but the problem isn't as significant with the lense there, as long as you're aimed right. I was talking about the '04-'05 factory WRX vs STi headlights. |

Great thanks. I have been reading the HID FQA and the Daniel Stern Lighting information to make sure I do this the right way.
I will aim the lights after the install following the Daniel Stern Lighting aiming. Thanks again for the information. |

Instead of doing the H7 HIDs, i think im going to swap the projectors in my morrettes for an HID projector. Ive been looking around and only see Bosch and Valeo projectors, do both of those fit in the morrettes, or just the Valeos?

If you have the Morettes just measure them yourself. I doubt that anyone else will be able to supply you with the proper information and why bother when you already have it at your disposal? I have the original Morette instructions that came with them and they don't show the dimensions.

This will be your best starting point/link. If this appears to be too complex via these instructions I would suggest having a trained shop install them via those instructions. If you short out youu ballasts you'll want to cry

im installing the philips kit in my gfs dad race car and i have a quick question. He seems to think the polarity (positive or negative) doesntmatter on a light bulb. Im not 100% sure of that but it possible. My question is does it matter for HIDs for plugging in the ballasts? Her dad is trying use the plugs that came on the car so the hood can come off quickly in the pits but i dont know which wire of the plug is positive and negative and i cannot follow the wires to the battery.

Yes, it matters. A filament type bulb has no polarity, but an HID ballast most certainly does. It's a DC device with a lot of circuitry inside, and if connected backwards (reverse polarity) it will at the very least not work and at worst could be damaged.

H7s are the low beams. Have you checked your Owner's Manual? Info on what bulbs are in there...

I have an aftermarket HID system on my JDM projectors, and I grounded it the way you advise not to, but after a year there have not been any ill effects. Should I do what you suggest, or just leave it since nothing bad has happened? I'm not trying to prove you wrong, I'm just wondering if what you're saying is as severe as you say it is. |
