Default Translate HID install diagram

Can someone translate this for me?



I am looking for information that relates to my 9006 application. Are they talking about washers in this diagram?

yes ... you need to use your existing 9006 o-ring and pop it on the HID bulb.

I cant read japaneese... but it looks like they're telling you to swap the o-rings from the halogen bulbs, to the HID bulbs... must be they dont come on the HID bulbs. They are needed to keep moisture out of the headlight.

you want an air tight seal in your housings. air flow can actually discolor your bulbs.

really? how so? i recently did a projcor retrofit and i didnt bother sealing up the back end of it that well... and my hids actually fire up that nice bluish color but then fades into a more white/yellowish color. but this also happens when the car isnt moving.. so i didnt think anything of it.

If you did a projector retrofit then it doesn't apply to you since the projector is D2S and your bulbs are D2S.
