Looking at changing the bulbs in my paras to HID gas discharge globes. On the H1 bulbs you have the adaptor that plugs into the bulbs.how will with work with the HID's?

would the bulbs fit and not needing the adaptors.

You will still need the ballasts.

yea i know you need the ballasts, its the adaptor on the H1 bulb. I beleive you wont need it anymore but want to see if anyone else has put HID's in their Para's

Oh, my bad, I thought you meant ballasts when you said adapters. I have a set of HIDs in my paras but I have no idea what I'm looking for (I didn't install them), I can take a photo of the back of the bulb assembly if that helps?

hey Red Valdez that would be awsome :)

are u puttin them into your high beams and your low beams as well?

just the low beams at this stage (hardly use high beams)

Turns out getting a photo in a cramped area in a poorly lit area at night is harder than it looks :P If you don't get an answer I might have another stab at it tomorrow.

you dont need the adapters......you wire the hid power wire straight into the plug that comes off the globe....what you have to do(well i did ) is to cut two small piece's of rubber so the bracket/spring thing will hold the new hid globe in,as ,without the adapter,the spring sits too high,if you get my drift,could try bending it,but ,rubber worked best for me

i got these and did the install the other day.... i got h7 and h3

hrm... guy i bought mine off had some foamy plastic stuff cut to shape to go between the light and the spring, i didnt even think of trying to use those bits of rubber! would be a hell of a lot easier i bet

yeh i was gonna make up somthin wif some split washers, had a smoko break and thought about usin the rubber things...
the foggies was the fun part for me lol, drilled a big F*** off hole in the screw cap on the back to get big fat wires + plugs thru haha then just back-filled wif silicon :D

Thread cleaned up. Forums which are marked 'No Spam' are exactly that - no spam is allowed.

If the OP had asked us what we thought about HIDs and where he could purchase them from, then posts about their effectiveness and where to buy them from would obviously be appreciated. However, the OP has only asked us a simple question about the actual installation of HIDs. Any other remarks about HIDs - particularly people who are basically posting 'yes, I own HIDs too' - isn't relevant.

Carry on!
