    Jimmy rigged? how politically correct. Those are a work of art! But I agree, it's not pretty, not for someone to do if they have never done that type of work before, in particular going for tilt ..it was brute force and on the fly. The bulb Alignment is critical ... at least give that a whirl. Now you know what you are getting ... or not.

    9007-2 (HID low, halogen high): As long as the HID arc is in the EXACT correct position, you'll have excellent low beams. The high halogen bulb will NEVER produce usable light for high beam usage. Ever. The only reason for it's existence is for passing inspection, not light. Before ordering your 9007-2 kit, see if the seller will send you the measurements of the HID arc discharge point in reference to the mounting flange on the base. If their answer is NOT 1.75", prepare to modify something, or move on to another HID peddler. There are LOTS of them, so don't fear that you cannot find another...

    lots of good info. i have "gx" HID headlights on my 02' gp. what i came to find out, is your DRL's need to be disabled. when you start your vehicle, the HID is pulling a larger draw than the car is putting out. causing intermittent either side lamps to not come on or shut off at random.

    ALWAYS disable the DRL feature when using aftermarket HID kits.

    I know there is a post about the drl but the easy version is pop open your fuse panel access door in the drivers side door and if you look down and to the left through the hole you will see a silverish box with a plug in it. It is mounted on the left kickpanel. Unplug is and drl will be disabled. As fast as the light sensor just unplug it and i think the default is the lights will be off. It is the little dome bulb looking thing sticking out of the middle of your dash. Pop it out and unplug it.

    ^^^ Unplugging the photodiode/photoresistor will turn the automatic lights on all the time. See my web site for the fix for that if you cannot just simply pull out the DRL fuse and disable both the DRLs and Twilight Sentinel (auto) headlamps.

    Your picture doesnt really show your fogs are bright yellow. When i do my HID im going to do the purple 12000K and i want hyper yellow fogs but i also cant find bulbs. I want like bright bright yellow without doing hid fogs. Idk....

    Oh and yea sorry about previous post i knew the drl you could unplug the diode near the fuse block but i didnt know the default without the light sensor kept them on for the automatic portion. Personally i like the automatic light sensor but i hate the drl so the drl is as far as i got.

    The camera does not show the yellow for what it is. I'll try and take some more photos later and see what I can do about color correction. The HID output just saturates the CCD.
