ok just a little edit to say k and N is in and on, service went well.
wynns engine flush in with the old jank oil!
then some wynns engine treatment in with the magnatec 10,40 semi synth to help old engine regain some compression!
also did some air box trickery ;) 130k-miles the carbon filter will be useless so that went! along with the resonator box!
car feels alot more responsive!!

only thing left to do is the fuel filter JOY! do that some other time when i havent got petrol treatment running through it!

ner ner i have hids !

will get a guide up in a mo

its simple as pie!

ok take your old main beams out (easy peasy!)
get your HID bulbs place them where the old ones where! then there's a brown wire to the left of the bulb holder, take that out and plug the earth from the ballast in.
There and the positive in where you took the bulb out of (should be a yellow wire).
to hide the ballasts up i have put the passenger one the battery on the back side with some super sticky double sided tape.
and the driver side under the airbox with double sided tape!

then its a case of plugging the lights in the ballasts and stand back and admire your work!


wil get some pics up in a bit. but seriously its taken all of 10/15minutes!

indicaters are now both the same colour.
HID balasts all hidden up properly.

considering spraying some interior trim in "brown" to match outside of the car. suggestions/opinions?
