Ive looked around and found the basic idea on how to do this and Im sure I will figure it out, but It really made me wonder why there isnt a DIY on it yet with so many people upgrading... Someone want to make one

 

unscrew the ballast then unplug the ballast then repeat same steps in reverse

 

^+1

not enough to need a DIY.

 

If you can't figure it out from looking at it, then you probably shouldn't be doing it yourself

 

LOL

Good point.

 

I havent opened it up to take a look to be honest so I have no idea how complicated/uncomplicated it is... but if they have a DIY for installing clear corners I thought theyd surely have this one covered...

 

LOL, I question those people also

 

haha so true elvisin3d...theres a diy for clear corners and not one for changing the ballasts...well it should be pretty simple but its nice to see some pictures thats all...

 

i am thinking about changin my 07 lights and upgrading to something more blue. pics would be great

 

the ballast is not a light bulb, so pixs would help you out!

 

Removing the ballast and reinstalling them is pretty simple. It's just a pain in the @$$ to remove the whole headlight housing to just write a simple DIY, which is why i'm sure a lot of the lighting guru's here have not done it. Since I have an extra set i'm working on that's not on my car, i took some pictures to show how easy this is.

1) with the headlights removed, turn the headlight upside down and place on a surface that will not scratch your lens. Unscrew the three screws circled in green (I don't have screws showing in there cuz i already took them out) and unplug the harness circled in red.



2) pull the ballast out and unscrew the tiny screw circled in green and unplug the harness circled in red. That little screw can be a PITA to take out.



it should look like this when you're done.



Installation is reverse of removal.

NOTE: There is a rubber o-ring around the ballast that CAN get stuck to the housing or fall out. If it does, just make sure you put it back on before you reinstall it.

Good Luck.

 

Yume the headlight man! Coming through like a champ!

 

see, was a DIY really needed for that?

 

anyone noticed that the auto off on the headlights is delayed on the 06 lights aftr the swap? my tails go off after i lock the car in like less than a minute but the headlights stay on for like 2minutes

 

umm i still got my 04 stock head lights and it takes 2 minutes to shot off too!
and i didnt swap it to my 06's yet
