I've just ordered my HID system and central locking system

I'll post up some pics and feedback on both and how difficult they were.

cheers,

its a allday job to do it but not diffuclt at all just time consuming and u need to cut out metle in door for central locking motors

hey jason, i've installed the remote central locking for the front doors, piece of cake! no metal needed to be cut either!

i've run the wiring to the back passenger floor but haven't got around to fitting the motors and stuff yet...

all up, the remote module, immobilizer, and 2 front doors took me about 3 hours.

HID kit should arrive on monday so i'll fit that ASAP!

quick update, just installed my 8000k HID Xenon kit

If anyone in Melbourne's eastern suburbs wants a kit installed, I can do the kit and the installation of H4 hi/lo HID for $190 installed.

here's some happy snaps!

Standard H4 Halogen low beam.
*NOTE: this is a Phillips 'Blue Vision' globe, not standard yellow globe.

Driver side ballast and controller all mounted behind the headlight/ bumper bar

Passenger side ballast all mounted

HID lights still warming up on low beam, standard halogen H7 on high beam. In reality, the H7 is so much more yellow than in the pic.

HID low beams in full flight!

Cheers,
Spudley.

haha cheers ash!
can't wait to test them out tonight!

with your central locking, did you have to install an extra relay for the horn to beep when locking/ unlocking?
and likewise with the indicators?

cheers,
S.

my central locking kit is just the basic door locks and controller with no remote. i didn't bother getting a remote central locking kit because i have a remote start 2 way alarm to install (sometime within my lifetime lol) and will interface it with the alarm.

ahhh cool beans ash..

yeah i'll install an alarm one day soon.. i was just sick of trying to find the keyhole in the dark! lol

Also, how did you make your door trims ash? i think i just got half mast! looks great!

cheers,
