Figured it was close enough to post here.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to put HID's in there thirdgen Camaro? I have Sylvania Silverstars and would like ot get HID's, as they arent bright enough.

Post up pics, and how you did it.

 

Yeah a few guys on here have them. I just ordered a system off ebay for about $60. I also ordered a new wiring harness. If you get H4 bulbs it should be a direct replacement. Someone correct me if im wrong.

 

You need the housings to convert the sealed beams to replaceable H4 bulbs and an HID conversion kit for H4 or 9003 bulbs. I've always liked this pic I took:

Some companies make halo housings too:

 

Are these the same housing you can find on Ebay?? Where can I get the wiring harness? I can get a complete HID kit for $50 shipped, all I would need is the housings and the I guess the harness.

 

All of the housings I have are ebay ones. There's no wire harness needed, just an adjustment to the placement of the terminals in the stock connector is all. Some people like to run relays and use the stock wiring as the trigger for it, but I don't think it's needed. If you get a bi-xenon HID kit it will have its own relay system built in anyway though. I'd double check that HID kit is for H4 bulbs. I have seen kits that cheap, but not for H4 or other dual beam bulbs, specially if it's a bi-xenon kind.

 

Ok Great. I was trying to figure out how to get HID's to work with the stock housings. I really didnt want to take them apart to try and get it to work.

The HID's are that cheap, I got a set for my silverado from teh same guy and they work great. I dont think I will use the Bi Xenon kit as My Hi and Low beam arent the same bulb. Thanks for the info.

One more question about the Ebay clear lenses. I have had to replace 2 sets of my Parking lights due to moisture forming in them. Even tho the moisture goes away after some time. Do any of your ebay lenses(headlights,fog lights, parking lights) have a moisture problem afte you wash your car? Did you seal them any special way ro just install them and forget it.

 

If you're talking about the camaro, the only bulbs that I'm aware of that you can get, H4's, have dual beams which require some way of dual beaming the bulb. I did have moisture problems like you say, but that was because the rubber cap got a cut in it. They usually seal quite well to the bulbs, but you could zip tie the outer part to help seal that.

 

Just ordered 2 pairs of the ebay lights. Pretty cheap i just hope their good quality.

 

There are a ton of threads on this. A search should provide you with plenty of info. Here's a couple to get you started.

just got mine all installed today. i love the look. mine are 4300K

 

The muskr, Could you send me a PM on where you got your kit from, or how you did it?

 

Yeah for sure im at school right now and work tonight. so il try to do it asap

 

can you just post the them on here? i im very interested in converting my lights into hid's

 

You know guys, I did HIDs a long, long, time ago. I found out how by doing searches and some basic research. All the info was already on here. 1st thing I learned is those ebay euro lights, or what ever they are called, are absolutely horrible for HIDs. Get "E"" code housings. And do a search, you may find my thread from way back when, explaining how I did it.

 

I have already searched and didnt find the answers I was looking for. For how many pages there are of things going off topic. I would just rather ask someone who just did it for a little info.

 

Okay well. i Just bought a regular HID kit off of ebay. any one with H4 bulbs will work. then i bought the new 4x6 H4 housings off of ebay. I also got a wiring harness from 3bspecialties.com. Which I recomend for peice of mind. All you need to do is find a good place to mount the ballasts, hook up thhe new harness, and replace the sealed beams with the new H4 housings. I also just put cheap bulbs in the brights just so they were functional. I'll try to get links asap.

 

LINKS

Harness- http://shop.3bspecialties.com/produc...0&productId=22
HID's (you dont need this one, any with H4 bulbs will do)- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...6476&viewitem=

H4 lights - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_4170wt_1190

 

Thanks. Do you only need one harness for both HID's?

 

Nope just one harness. it goes from the battery to your ballasts. and it has a plug for the stock headlight plug so when you turn your lights on it puts power to the HID's.

 

Thanks again for the info.

 

Yeah no problem. Let me know if you have anymore questions

 

Will do.

 

can this be done to stock iroc foglights? i plan on doing this but want the fog light color to match the low beam color...

is is exactly the same or? any help is appreciated..

TheMuskr...so your total investment was around $90 for all equipment? did you do your high beams or just the low beams?

 

Should be able to put HID's in the fogs too. The stock bulbs in those are 885's, but I believe any 88x bulb kit will work since I remember seeing 880/881 kits. The difference in the different numbers looked to be if the plug on the bulb was straight or 90 degrees and different wattages.

 

If you get the correct bulb size i dont see why it wouldnt work

 

hey guys that link for those headlights, is that for only 1 headlight or is it for a pair of them? and are those low beam or high beam? is it a sealed beam headlight or does it have interchangeable bulbs? plan on doing this soon

 

bulb light # is listed as 885 for iroc fog lights

will an 880 or 881 be compatible/fit??? i cant find a HID kit for 885 bulbs.. only 880 or 881... please advise!

thank you

 

Read my last post

 

got it...thanx.. i cant seem to find the difference between the 880 and the 881 kit (like wattages/ what the shape of the bulb is)

does anyone know? i want to order this stuff this week... but it has to be right, most of these kits are not returnable.

just need to know which kit: 880 or the 881 HID kit is correct for putting HIDS in the stock iroc foglights.

thank you

 

anyone?

 

800 series bulbs are identical, except for the actual plug. So as long as you adapt the factory plug to the HID kit you end up buying, you'll be ok.

 

so can anybody tell me how many lights you get in that ebay link right there? i see somebody bought them and i plan on buyin them to. and are those lights dims or brights? im a little confused on that..

 

krisb... what do you mean by 'adapt the plug' is this something ill have to rig up, or just an alternate plug to purchase.? if so, which one..?

 

Either, whatever you want.

 

That auction is for just 1 headlight. The headlight can be used for either the bright or the low beam as it doesnt come with a bulb. Look around on Ebay, there are auctions for a complete set of lights. Both low beams,both brights,both foglights, and both clear corner lenses.

 

thanks for the clearification.

 

here is a post that should help
