Well my brother bought HID's for his 7thgen civic cause stocks just aren't bright enough.

Was wondering if anyone was willing to help him install them cause me and him tried and it was a pita. Driver side light is hard to take out cause of PS resovoir aand washer fluid tank is like inches away from the clip. So anyone willing to help pretty please :):D

you might have to take off the bumper

[FerrariEnzo]

you have to remove those, they slide off giving you a bit more room to work with.. then you need to zip-strap the ballasts.

you can pull the ps resevoir up off the thing easily and put it away for some needed sapce.

and the washer fluid neck should be twist removable too.

[donjalapeno]

What ferrarienzo said is correct, you might need to remove bumper for more room. I just ordered my HIDS hopefully they turnout sick :)

Its not much more difficult to install HIDs than it is to change a burnt out bulb.

Move the PS pump reservoir, remove the existing bulb, replace it with an HID bulb, hook up connectors, zap strap the wires and mount the ballasts. Double sided tape is a good method for the mounting ballasts and many people mount them on the inside of their bumper on 7thgens.

[TOPEC]

7th gen is the latest gen right? I believe u need to use the wheel wells to access the bulbs, no need to remove bumper etcetc.

[Jgresch]

^8th gen is latest

[gloors]

We did move over the PS Pump reservoir and the washer fluid is just like right beside the clip to remove the bulb. It's a damn tight fit in there can barely fit my hand nor my brothers. Is there a DIY guide or could someone help us in their free time or something?

And no 7th gen isn't the latest gen its the 2001-2005 models

[gloors]

Hahah but seriously. Anyone down to help us? The clip thats holding the bulb is a biiitch to take out :(

[tofu1413]

[gloors]

^ Yeah it is, the thing is its sucha bitch to remove. I cant even get it out :(:(

Look in the owners manual, dude. It has instructions on how to remove the bulbs.

I would come help you, but I need to get an essay finished tonight. Seriously, the pas side should be easy and on the drivers side the PS pump just lifts out.


Are you pushing down on the release tab, because its sorta clipped on..

[gloors]

Yeah I am pushing the release tab :\ Gah pita.. I'll tell my brother to go look at the owners manual. Thanks for the help so far guys :thumbsup:

[nns]

Just what we need, more blinding headlights on the road.

[jpark]

^at least its not going in a f350 turbo diesel lifted on 55" mudtires and extra 'hella' fog light kit fitted with another 12k hid kit

[Death2Theft]

If anyone gets hids for their 8th gen civic i'm gonna follow u after u park and smash your headlights.

[MindBomber]

7th gen civics do look absolutely terrible with HIDs, just big glowing headlights spraying light everywhere. I'm waiting till I can afford this kit to make the change, http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=227.

[gloors]

Well I guess your gonna follow me and smash my headlights then? :awesom:

[iambuRnz]

try turning the bulb to make it loose? once loose, remove the clip thats holding the bulb.

[gloors]

Brother just left my house so we'll have a go at it again tmr.

[nns]

Well I guess your gonna follow me and smash my headlights then? :awesom:

So you have no problem blinding other drivers at night, so long as what..you look cool? Or you have "brighter" headlights?

You must have no grasp on the concept of shame. You and your brother are tools.

[LenovoTurbo]

Twist the bulb and take it out of the socket first, then you'll have a lot more room to work with.

[gloors]

Did I say.. "OH look at me I like blinding other drivers yay for me!" No. I don't even drive that much at night time so what does it matter to you?

[nns]

Oh, well in that case, that changes everything! You don't drive "that much" at night. Wow, I am so sorry about the misunderstanding. Not only are you a tool, you're an idiot too! Only an idiot would use that as an argument. "I don't even drive that much at night!".

Listen, you're not going to get any sympathy from people here about you and your ricer lights. You're putting others at an inconvenience for your own selfish gains. Get your head checked.

I sure hope you're not part of the same group who cry foul when they're stopped by the cops and handed a VI. "Oh poor me im just a ricer that keeps getitng picked on by cops those powertripping pigs".

[gloors]

^ Thanks tips :thumbsup: totally ricing out my car by putting HID's . Wanna teach me on how not to be a ricer? :cool:

[nns]

Sure, jump off a bridge.

[gloors]

Already have called bungee jumping :thumbsup:

Civic + stock housing + HID kit = http://cdn.revscene.ca/forums/images/smilies/facepalm.gif

[MindBomber]

Not trying to get into the middle of this, but..

HIDs can blind other drivers, and if the other driver happens to be a cop you'll get a ticket and a VI. Installing a set of projectors to focus the light will not diminish output, and they cost about the same as the inevitable ticket.

[Death2Theft]

I'll be sure to use my keys if it's a white one that blinds me.

[gloors]

I do have aftermarket projectors for my car but I could care less if my brother was to get VI and a ticket.
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[Leopold Stotch]

remove the neck of the washer fluid bottle and then when you do you'l have more room to remove the head light, leave it in the housing and push the tab and wiggle, that way you have more leverage, should come out.

when it's the first bulb replacement, they're normally pretty damn tight.


but i love how these HID threads always turn into a bitch fest

[impactX]

There's no need for the hostility in this thread. Keep the thread clean please.

For the OP: you can ask your brother to get some halogen bulbs that produces higher luminosity than stock bulbs. That way, he can be a considerate driver (without blinding other drivers) and can save himself the hassle of getting tickets + VI in the future.

[CP.AR]

OP... you do realize you also have to make room for the ballast right?
removing the bulb is the least of your worries IMO

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

hid in a lower vehicle is nothing

trucks with fucking 8000k hid in their headlights, 8000k foglights sure blinds the fuck out of everyone

you always bring nothing but hate to every fucking thread. OP simply asked for help, he oviously doesnt care about VI and tickets and he sure in hell doesnt care that hes going to blind your faget ass.




OP, my bulbs come out the exact way.....once you take it out the first time it becomes so much easier after. i used a screwed driver with taped tip ( so it doesnt ruin the tab) to push the socket downwards and just pushed the tab with my hand.

[impulseX]

don`t know how different 7th and 8th gens are but i would help if i had time

[gloors]

Finally got the clip removed. But in the end we removed the bumper to hide the ballast. Thanks for the help guys :thumbsup:

Yea. I was totally out of line. I mean, cluing some guy in about how him and/or his brother is pissing off other drivers was totally out of line. :rolleyes:

Please, you're the very definition of a "tool". Your "opinion" consists of the following steps:
1) read what's going on in a thread.
2) determine what the popular opinion is in that thread.
3) bandwagon with everybody else.

Of course you'll deny it. But that's OK. I don't need to convince you. You do a damn good job of convincing everybody else already.

Cheers.

If hids get you pissed you should stay off the road because every second car on the road nowadays has hids/xenons robert di niro asshole muncher.

And you said i bandwagon?, 70% of people in this thread were flaming op for putting HIDS on. I have nothing too gain from agreeing with people i dont know. Im going to end it their, your probably busy watching all the meet the fockers, goodfellas etc and jerkin to robert so i really dont want to disturb your faget ass privacy.

Ya man, NNS i dunno if you drive man but literally every third car has HID's now and many of those dont even have projectors... Why do people bitch about HID's all the time, you only see it for a second and move on. Why cant we complain about seniors who cant drive 45 in a 50 zone. Hids i can live with...

[Eros250]

not sure if this is mentioned,, too lazy to read all the post. But try going through the fender where the wheel well is and pull back the liner. Installed multiple cars this way if you are lazy to remove bumper and headlights.

You know, I was wondering what your obsession is what homosexuals and Robert Deniro. Then I realized it was because of my display picture.

LOL. So should I call you a "faget" for..what is that, Biggy in your display picture?

Sure, every 2nd car out there may have HIDs, but not nearly half of that percent are PnP kits; i.e. your argument makes no sense. PnP kits are what the topic is about. PnP kits are what blind a lot of drivers.

Oh, I have no problems with HIDs. Don't have a car that came with one? Get a retrofit. But throwing some cheapo kit into some headlights, then driving around screwing other drivers over while thinking your farts don't stink is totally misguided.

BTW, eurorsn, we can sit here all day and complain about all sorts of things. I'm sure you've complained about things here that not many people share the same thoughts about, but that didn't stop you, did it? Nor did it make your genuine complaints any less valid.
