I retro fitted my 2gb with morimoto h1s and I'm never going back. As stated above please do research before just sticking HIDS in stock housings. Check out hidplanet.com it will give you the most info on proper lighting
My h1s fit in my housing no problem even with the shroud (mini Gatling gun) as for the d2s the h1 out perform them and unless you plan to run a fxr I wouldn't worry about d2s. Don't go with an 50watt as already said just buy the kit and happy retrofitting once you do one its hard not to want to...
It means a whole new set of headlights and retrofit (make) projectors fit into them. It's the ONLY way HIDs are truly effective. I have minis retrod and I'm never going back
I have a hard time looking for wiring diagrams for my 98 Tsi anyone know where to get them? I'm looking for the foglight wiring as I'm retrofitting ford fusion foglightsThanks

Honestly you don't need these if you aren't going to properly run them with a projector housings. Go get some silverstars those are the best upgrade for stock housing.
Not correct 43k is pure white 6k is blue 9k is bluer. If you want function you need to do a projector retrofit into your dsm and not go with any bulb temp higher than 5k
I'm assuming it's charged since its brand new. I guess I could give it a jump and seeYes there is 2 grounds on the negative I put both on and no power. Is there a specific way they go on? Does the firewall ground go on last?
Went to replace my battery today took the old one out put the new one in and now there is NO POWER. No lights come on nothing. Can someone point me in the right direction with a write up? Ive tried everything and nothing. Need to get my car running so any help would be appreciated.Jjaycxj...
Wanting to clean up my stock 2gb talon wheels. I currently have this plastidipped but I'm tired of That look. Any advice how to give them a good clean? The have some curb rash but mostly just dirty. Any good tire cleaners out there for 20 year old dirt lol? Also I would like to refinsh the...
Thanks il look into that is it a direct bolt on or would I need a flange?So when I install the 14b the general consensus is that I will feel a difference right away at stock boost then?
I'm doing basics mods slowly. My car is literally bone stock with a new head. As for bov I'm looking at ngr heard a lot of great things about it and it sounds good recirculated. Or il just go 1g bov as I heard they are a lot better than my stock BOV
I bought a 16g install kit from forced performance and I'm having a local dsm shop install it. Il take a look at the thread as I want to have a little more power since it is my dd. my goal is a fun dd that can eat a few ricers every once in awhile. That's why I went with the 14b. Hopefully I...
My t25 blew on my 2g and I just picked up a 14b that is going to be installed Tuesday. Since my 2g is stock for now I'm going to have the shop set it to stock boost like my t-25 was. But will I feel any power differences between the 2 turbos?
I know the 14b is a better turbo than the t-25 and...
Projectors like these ones as these are the only ones that will fit in the dsm housing Bi-xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III Kit (H1) - Complete Retrofit Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc
Yeah I ment as a fogs lights. As for the matchboxes are they waterproof?. That's the only issue I see with the matchboxes as I want to get rid of my stock fog housings all together.
Lol I didnt mean to I'm on my iPhone so it's hard to push the right buttons sometimes. Is your car lowered? If so on what setup? I wanna do my suspension next and like the way it looks lowered on stock rims
As the title states has anyone done this? Looking to do 3k in my fogs to go with my retrofit but how do I take the old bulbs out of the fog lights? The only threads I've seen is for the eclipse. If anyone has done this to there talon I would greatly appreciate the input\walkthrough.
The head and hg are 3 weeks old professionally rebuilt by a well known shop in the chicagoland area. My t25 has gone bad so it's burns
a little coolant and oil and today I saw some coolant spilling out of my car after I got back from the store and I opened up the hood and I saw the overflow...
I know but I wanted Bi xenon and the s2k are low beam only. This kit fits perfectly as our housing isn't that big and therefore won't fit a big projector and gives good light output compared to most cars. Either way it's better than sticking HIDS into oem housings
Since it burns coolant and oil I check them everyday and if there low I fill them. The coolant was way over the fill line and almost to the top when I checked. I checked it right after I turned the car off
The cutoff is great! You can still adjust with the stock adjusters il post pics of the setup When I get on my computer.It doesn't work with an oem housing. Our 2g reflectors can't handle the light HIDS need to be projected and have cutoff lines while you may think it looks better it doesn't...
Yes ### the shop told me to look at my oil and coolant levels as the turbo is bad so i parked her after driving opened the hood and saw the overflow was almost to the top. Took the rad cap off and ran it and saw no bubbles of any kind
Also on a side note will a 16g install kit work with a 14b? I looked around and I haven't really found a forsure answer and I wanna make sure before buying the install kitI believe so im going to call the shop Tommrow as I'm not very happy with how this has turned out
Yes the head Was done correctly it got the works done at the machine shop ### of how sensitive the mls hg is. The last time I pulled the plugs they looked fine I've been driving it and it drives fine just the turbo is blown lol
Everything is included projectors housings, bulbs and adapters the only thing I would recommend you get is a relay harness and run it straight off the battery as the stock wiring won't hold up well to the HIDS
I haven't noticed any overheating. I just got the thermostat replaced when I got the head done with an oem one. The head gasket on is an oem mls hg with arp head studs literally done 3 weeks ago by a reputable shop in the Chicagoland area.
98 tsi bone stock just got the head professionally rebuilt 3 weeks ago. now i have a bad turbo i have been driving on it for about 3 weeks now. i noticed some coolant leaking after i came home from the store and looked under the hood and saw the coolant overflow was full. so i let it cool and it...
thats the way to go i actually retrofitted my headlights with these Bi-xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III Kit (H1) - Complete Retrofit Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc
all i needed was a dremel and it took about 3 days to do. the quality is amazing and the light output is great. i went with 5k...
Get silver stars DO NOT DO hids in stock housing as the stock reflector can't contain the light so it will be scattered and you will actually have less usable light . If you want to HIDs get a retrofit kit and do them that way.
Alright I will check that but I also have full retrofitted headlights running straight off the battery that seem fine but when I have the a/c on full blast with the radio or something the dash gets very dim and sometimes the antilock light will come on? Then when I turn something off it's fine?
I have a 98 talon that has began to overheat and the car will also have a hard time starting unless jumped if I leave it for a few hours it's dead could these 2 problems be connected? At 1st I thought it was the hg but the oil and coolant look clean.Anyone?
No I haven't figured it out oil looks good not milky at all there was just oil in the coolant Overflow. I saw the white smoke out the tailpipe yesterday and then driving on the highway she overheated. Checked the coolant it looked like oil and was very low
98 talon 131k on the clock bone stock blew my hg on the highway and looking to replace is their a aftermarket one that's better than oem? I'm planning on doing an oem hg with arp head studs unless there's a stronger one than oem I never wanna have to deal with a hg blowing again all opinions are...
My car has 130k so I'm pretty sure there in rough shape lol gotta get her in better shape one thing at a timeOh and it is autoSad update on the car she blew the head on the highway :/ rebuild soon
Thanks she getting all new suspension pretty soon on. Since the old stuff is ###### shot lol.I love the way the srt4 sounds my buddy had one and I loved/ jealous how it would pop and crackle all the time. There deff one of my favorite cars
Nice was it loud? Or deep ### the videos I've seen the sounds all distorted so it really hard to tell. The exhaust looks like and good quality so it gives me hope that it won't sound ricer. And post some pics of your talon :thumb:D
