Yeah I'll take pictures for you once I get my kit in.

 

I know Mahjik talked about selling his car a while back; I didn't pay that any mind... He can't sell it...he's Mahjik!

MotoTek, as mentioned earlier, the new website will feature fully up-to-date pricing and automated shopping (w/ a shopping cart, auto-invoice, etc etc) very soon. In the meantime, if you'd like to place an order, plz visit the Orders page on the existing website: www.fdnewbieimports.com

gone my kit today...looks great, now the fun of figuring out the installation!

 

Got mine yesterday - need to open the box

Anybody got a decent translation of the instruction manual?

 

the instructions are prettymuch useless

i found it being really helpful laying everything out first and connect all the wires to the lights so you get a clear idea where everything goes. The long wires gets a bit confusing, but after everything's hooked up, it only use one of original headlight wire plugs on one end and the other ends just plugs up to the 4 IPF lights. which order of the wires? just have to trial and error.. outter lights are Lowbean and inner lights are highbeam (looking at the angle they project)

the hardest part of the whole process is removing the stock headlights + casing. not that its hard, but just take the most time. remove everything except the motor+motor bracket, the spoon-like connecting rode can be poped off w/ a twist. After the KS brackets are in, everything else will fall into place. EXCEPT the black cover. KS made an extra bracket on the side for the outside hole for the bracket to hold (i guess) but there's no way it'll reach while lining up w/ the IPF lights themselves. So the only way for the blackcover to hold is using the most outside screw for the lowbeam light for the outter screw hole of the cover.

hope that helps...

 

Hey man, I just want to say thank you for all the info and pix you have provided in this thread about these head lights. I will be using the pix you've posted as reference when I go to install mine.

 

^^ its no problem. i'm glad they're helpful.

 

THREAD JACK!

I want to have the fiberglass wrapped in carbon fiber (for a little extra durability) then sand and paint over the carbon fiber with matching paint. (Brilliant Black)

Does anyone know where I might get this service done?

Thanks.

Feel free to put up step by step guide on the install I'm too lazy to attempt mine without a guide.

 

How many hours do u figure this install takes?

 

I think I hate you...

 

Any chance of a walk thru or some english instructions? I'm looking at this japanese manual scratching my head... Do I need to get some kinda sleepy eye module or is it optional?

 

Jesse, I should prob. be able to have it wrapped in CF for ya. Drop me an email w/ a few pics (from diff angles) of the part you're talking about and I'll see if I can get you a price quote.

wtfx100, the sleepy eye look has nothing to do w/ the KS headlight kit; it just so happens that many ppl who got the KS kit did the sleepy eye mod to it, but they are two separate and distinct things.

Thanks,

Will do, thatnks Ram!

 

Np

 

Are you saying it's worse than stock lighting?

 

i've seen that my KS are better than my stock lighting...i'm very happy with them

 

lt1_rx7, we're very pleased you're pleased

Honestly must say I'm pretty shocked for 850$ hid upgrade all i got were a pair of bulbs and a ballast. Figured they'd include some housings for them but um... no such luck. The hid install instructions must have also been a very cruel way of getting back at the americans for WW2 because the instructions are VERY faded photocopies.

 

LOL. Gettin back at Americans I assure you that the instructions were made without even *considering* a foreign market, much less Americans The VAST majority of shops in Japan cater to the Japanese ONLY.

The 4 IPF lights seem to be the same so theres no difference between highbeam and low beam? I take it only how u plug into the harness determines which is hi/lo?

 

i found the same thing, i'm assuming the idea is that high beams is twice as much light because you have twice as many lights on! (2 vs 4 lights)

and the wiring: white with black strip is low beam, white with no strip is hi-beam...

Ramy,

so pleased in fact i'm considering getting a 2nd set for my red car...but that would be a few months down the road, want to get the car running better before i do the exterior

 

that is correct. the high beams are the ones closer to the center and lo beams are the outter lights. You'll be able to tell once they're lit. the center ones shoot straight and the outer once comes in at an angle. giving wider and closer range. the wires are the same color. only way to check is turning them on and re-connect if one or both are wrong.

 

lt1_rx7, wow...glad to hear that! Be sure to let me know when you're ready and I'll take care of ya!

Thanks,
~Ramy

 

The black covers on my kit came all scratched up gotta get em repainted now and figure out the hi/lo beams.
