I was given an HID light kit but it is for a 03 honda element... is it possible to rig it to an 95 integra

 

the lowbeam bulb on your car is 9006 or HB4. if the HID kit is 9006 or HB4 you can use it.

i'd recommend using a separate wiring harness to power the HID's though, as the stock wiring, even on newer integras, usually cant handle the increased voltage in the first couple seconds the HID's ignite. over time the wires will degrade and the ballasts wont get enough voltage to power the HIDs.

This happened to me on my current integra. the wiring took a dump, and the first symptom was a flickering light output. i thought it was a connection issue, but it turned out it was the wiring degrading, because eventually there was no light output at all.

 

isnt there a seperate power relay of some sort you can buy to power the hids?

forgot to add, the honda element is a H11 bulb for low beams

 

x2... same thing happened to me. Started getting flickering from the day they were on. I wired them thru the fuse box with a relay.

 

yeah people make a "kit" now. dont know exactly who though.

yep on my car we had to wire a long wire to the driver side of the car as a reliable signal to turn on the relay since the passenger side wiring sucked.

the pass side wiring would read fine when u'd measure resistance/continuity when at rest, but throw some voltage at it, and it would read under 9V. wtf

 

ok, the set up was hot tapped straight to battery + terminal, than the other was grounds and a plug from the box to the original low bulb hook up. but I don't have the connection to the integra only the element, but I was wondering if you could splice the wire to the plug, if it is possible, I fear the flickering but what is the worst case senario, loosing all power to the lights, any frying to the computer????

can any one explain the steps on doing this?

 

just sell the element kit to somebody and buy an integra made kit..splicing wires n whatnot is making the job harder than it needs to be.

 

3 wires on the kit blue , white, brownish orange connect too ?

good idea...but some people ask for more than the price I sell the kit for? it used.

 

Very wise words.
Taking a marginal product and re-engineering it is hazardous enough.
Starting with a kit that was never intended for your car only makes things worse.

Spec R is absolutely correct. Use a properly rated relay switch and heavy gauge wiring to power the HID ballasts. Don't expect the OEM switch and wiring to handle all that current by themselves.

Also, you must use a fuse for your positive battery terminal connection.
If you don't, you risk an electrical fire that will likely total the car.

Do the math, calculate the amperage you need and buy the nearest rated fuse you can get.

 

cool... so I'll try to sell it n see what I get out of it.
