HID Lighting Question

[transatlantic0207]

So I went to the yard today and I came across these I couldn't get the other side because it was all smashed up but I did get the HID control modules from both side
I've attached pictures of what I got, how do I wire it up what do I need to splice??
Also does anyone have the other side?



One more question, you can wash the rectangle K&N air filter that goes in the airbox with soap and water or do you only use the K&N oil?

Filter needs to be oiled. AEM now makes an oilless filter medium. Splice your old headlamp connectors into the power in connector on the balast.

is there anyway to test the modules?

You don't really need to splice anything if you have ellipsoids. See where OEM plugs are and you chopped off some wiring? Take that plug off and plug into one side in the car.

ok I am a dunce when it comes to this....from he pictures can you tell what type of light it is? I've never really paid attention to the different lights on e30s until I got this one relatively free.

[Mless5]

These are ellipsoids. Do you see the "fish eye" in the center of the low beam? That point to the fact that they are ellipsoids and they are in fact the best light to use with HID.

So if you have the same "fish eye" headlights - you are good to go, plug and play.

nice nice....I am all excited to put them in now...if you know of anyone selling a driver's side setup...send em my way!

[transatlantic0207]

so I was testing the ballasts with a power tool batt and I found out one of them doesn't work....do the ballasts come wired with the bulb as one or will i have to buy each seperate? sorry for the n00b question

Dude, you can get HID kit for under $100 with warranty etc.
Yes, you can separate them at the plugs.
