Don't forget your lenses need to have no focusing ridges when you do a HID conversion. There is also a guy on turbobricks that sells hid kits in just about any temp. You can't have HID high beams either.

 

I went with the 55w.

 

Ordered same kit. Any advice on installation ? Is it really just "plug and play" ? The driver side seems to be a little crowded, any special thing
you did on that side to make installation faster ?

Thanks.

 

Forgot to ask another questions. My S60 has DRL on by default. Did you have to change your settings to have no DRL ?

 

Well on my driver side I actually have a short ram intake which means I don't have a huge airbox sitting there. I don't have the smallest hands, and it was kind of a pain to squeeze my hands into the tight spaces. It still wasn't too much of a problem. Okay now Mounting all the extra junk, I basically just zip tied it all together and attached it to other parts, that don't move obviously. It was pretty basic. Good luck, any questions you have... I always check this site periodically. Good luck, you'll love it when you're done.

 

What about your day time running lights ? Did you have to turn them off or you left it as is (I'm assuming your default setting is "on").

 

Well... I have them set to on
all the time. How would I change them? When I turn my light switch
to the middle position I turns them off... But It
keeps my marker lights on even when I turn my car off...
Thus draining the battery. Is there anyway to keep my headlights off until I need them?

 

I need to take mine to the dealership to turn them off. Need to be attached to computer as far as my model is concerned. I think older models have a toggle screw.

Will take it next week before I install the HID kit. Will cost me around $25. I will try to search the net if there is a "hack" to turn them off yourself (like service light).

 

Since I had time on my hands, I decided to tinker with the car today and do a "practice" run on installing the HID kit.

To my surprise when I finally pulled out the bulb, it was no near like the one shown in the manual. It is seated on some sort of a ballast as well.
It is a Philips D2S 35W bulb and did a search on it on the net and found out it is a HID lamp/bulb.

The darn car already hads HID headlights !

I was both disappointed and elated.

Disappointed because I was really looking forward on the install.

Elated because I get to save $140 and spend it on some other mod

 

Well that's pretty awesome... For some reason Every two or three times I turn my car on, I get a "low beam outage" on my message. I followed schematic and everything on the install of the pieces that are supposed to get rid of that message. Gonna have to take another look at it. kinda bizarre.

 

i put some HID's on my 03 s60 that i bought off ebay...look great! easy plug and play kit, however now i keep getting a intermitant flashing "bulb failure low beam" reading on my dash and i have NOOOO idea how to get rid of it. The bulbs themselves are one and stay on, they dont flash on and off like the signal would make you think. somebody told me to buy some error code cancellors that plug into the harness as well and they didnt do the trick. so just beware you might run into similar issues.

 

The funny thing is,,,, I have the bulb out cancellers, And it only happens like every third time I start up my car, I just turn my lights off, and back on and it goes away, puzzling....

 

yeah i bought those same things but they do nothing for me... it would be great if they would just come on and stay on but they dont the message just cuts on and off whenever it wants to.
