Hid Technical Question

Ok, so I've managed to get the old globe out, tweak the locking pin to fit around the HID globe, put the ignitor onto that and attach it to the ballast... but now I'm not 100% sure.

So there was a green and black cable running to the light itself, with what looks like the black one having the end cut off and changed to suit a screw in. So, I'm assuming I need cut that end off and change to suit the pin connector as per the first image. Can someone confirm for me?

Next question, the plugs that attach to the ballast, where do I need to solder these cables into?

I've scoured the net for close up pics of the back of the headlight which I'm sure will answer my question but no luck. Thanks in advance.

quite simple . follow the two coloured wires back to where they were cut :)

the bulb already has power.

Thanks Chris, just to confirm... so solder the green and black to the orange wires of the plug?

That was my initial plan, but the pins on the back of the ignitor psyched me out.

Hi guys!

I finally had a chance to remove my bumper and get the head light units out......... only to find that they cut away the ignitor :(

Good thing out of this little excercise was that the HID fog light kit I have installed only had their connectors disconnected from the balast units, so connected these and whola! they worked! nice :)

I'm going to phone around locally (Perth) and find out if I can source the harness quickly or at least the ignitor piece to fix up the headlights now.

I'd like to do this soon as I am think of selling the V.... yes that's right selling the V! :( I know what you are all thinking, pointless fixing up the HID, but I just feel like doing it out of fun and to say that I finally did it :)

Ok cheers guys!

      G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.

      It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too

      Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus.

      Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks

      Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
