Seattle Alpine HID install

jfj1336 · 03-10-2010, 01:15 AM

Hey folks,

I'm currently in the group buy for the Alpine HIDs and I'd love some help with the project! I'd be happy to get you lunch or something for your efforts, as I'm not really confidant about the cutting of the plastic housing.

I'm located near Seattle but I can meet at your convenience.

Hey, jfj1336. If I could offer you morale support: Open your hood, and take off one of the housing covers. Examine it. You're basically cliping the plastic cover, but not the rubber grommet that lines the interior. That said, when you put it back on, look how tight the clips hold the housing cover on. If cutting the housing cover is your only concern about doing the install, I think after you've taken a gander at it, you'll feel just fine.
