new hid and racing battery

After hunting down Hey Mikeyyyy down for months, I was finally able to stop him and get my hid and racing battery. The hid was pretty much a return for me giving him my Apexi I-Moni. The Buddy Club racing battery is a replacement for the same battery, which died on me earlier this year. It lasted a good 2 years of daily driving.


To install the battery using the factory battery hold, I had to drill some holes to adjust everything to fit. Cutting the factory tiedown rod was also required. I've done this before so this didn't take any time at all. The battery now stays snug and safe.


Replacing the hid kit was a little bit involved. I removed the bumper to gain access to a nut that was holding the headlight housing in place. While I was down there, I removed the washer fluid reservoir, and replaced the factory horns. I almost got ran over the other day by a chevy suburban because he didn't have a passenger side mirror. Seems he didn't even hear my horn either.

Finding a place to mount the ballast took most of the time. I found a good place to hide the ballast though it is not completely consealed like my previous setup. the pigtails it came with were completely useless. My wiring harness was 9006 and it pretty much directly went into the ballast (one less wiring mess to deal with).


I really like the color the lights put out. It's not too far from oem and it's not overly flamboyant. Gonna do some road tests. :)
