installing hid kit in protector headlights

[eddyspaghetti]

Hi everyone, I can't seem to figure out how to install an HID kit into my 1997 mitsubishi eclipse gsx "spider" protector headlights.

Also, If you guys can help me instal an HID kit into the OEM 97 eclipse gsx FOG lights.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated I'm driving around with no head or fog lights. ( not at night )

So... again, any help would be MUCH appreciated fellow DSMers.

Your going to need to get the stock bulbs out obviously and put the hid ones in there.

The hid kits are plug and play. Connect one end to the bulb and the other to the engine harness. No splicing or cutting. Same applies to the fogs.

The thing is, the new headlights do not have that plug that goes into the cars plug, so it looks like I am going start splicing

The bulbs wI'll be different. Remove the plastic boor and you shall see. I think they use like H3's or H7's something along those lines.

Oh yeah, what's up Noah! I totally forgot about this post, I finally got the car running, but I'm checking it out right now

Also, post a picture of the hid bulb base that came with the kit. The Spyder headlights use a different bulb base than the stock headlights.

Ok, now I know these aren't the best, but here are the bulbs

Use led's in your fog lights. Good luck finding a hid that would fit. Here are the led's that I used. Mine are yellow but you can find white if that's what you want. The key is finding what will fit. The last picture in the Amazon ad shows the dimensions. No matter what color you get, don't get bulbs any larger, they won't fit.

So the yellow fog light bulbs are just plug and play, im assuming right? Thanks for the help again

Have you tried that base in your Spyders? It's hard to tell from that base but it appears to be the stock h1 base.

Absolutely plug and play. No modifications needed.

So these are the stock bulbs on my spiders, is that what you meant?

Ok, good

Those should fit your Spyders, have you tried to fit the hid's into the Spyders?

 

[eddyspaghetti]

Yep, they do fit, the problem is the wiring part, that's what's a little confusing to me

 

[RidleyNoah]

That's good, they fit. Like I mentioned in your other thread, you're going to have to use the wiring out of your stock headlights. Once you get that wiring out it becomes really easy.

Are these pictures accurate on the brightness of the bulbs?

Ok, noah, it's about 9pm right now, so tomorrow bright and early , is it cool if I message you if I run into any problems? Don't want to be a bother

Look at the link to your other thread, I posted a picture of them on my car. That'll give you a better idea. No problem asking me any questions tomorrow. Get the high and low beam wiring out of your stock headlights and then get back to me. That's the hardest part.

Ok, I just set it up and the low beam works now, this is my set up. how do i go about turning on the high beam?
There is also the black and red wirebfrom the OEM headlights , what do i do with that one?

 

[eddyspaghetti]

Here is the set up, does it look right?

 

[RidleyNoah]

Yep, wiring is correct. You will use your old high beam bulb and the plug with the red and black wires on the wiring harness you pulled out of your old headlights should plug directly into it.
