    what are the worldspec bulbs? it might be just like the 8G JDM headlights (outside lo, inside hi; low = outside only, hi = outisde and inside on at the same time)... or are the outside pair hi/lo and the inside pair just hi?

    the outsides are H4 (low and hi) and the insides are H3 or H2 (hi only), Im not sure

    Chris, just ask for H4 HIDs since they have to plug into the rewired harness and still fit the headlight. Same for the insides. IDK if they sell low/hi combo HID bulbs.

    ddm has the H4 hi lo kit for 60 bucks. im only doing the outer lights as the inners are so white stock its pointless.

    Whatever plug the bulbs have now are the plugs the HID bulbs will have. I imagine you have a custom or jdm harness. The bulb connectors on the jdm harness such as H4 plugs into a connector on the H4 HID. The connector on the HID goes to ballast the ballast goes to bulb. Its really simple. If you need help bring them to edge water :-P

    haha you have the job you can come down for help. Or you could always ask gabe haha j/k but if you look at the pics I posted of HID wiring its really simple.



    Since my heads are H1 I have the H1 connectors your bulbs will come with H4 connectors and then you just follow this.

    You may want to order the harness since your car has 2 sets of highs not sure how good you stock harness is. I dnt have mine on harnesses since I either have the 2 digital ones, lows and fogs, or the 1 magnetic, highs, going at once and the digital have less draw.

    I remember talking to a guy on ebay that said he can give me a 9006 ballast for stock wiring and the h1 and h4 bulbs. IDK how he was going to do it but i forgot who it was.

    That is because the bulbs come with a 9006 connector on one end and the stock wiring on the other. All ballasts, at least DDMs, are 9006 so need a 9006 pigtail to be plugged into them. That guy wasn't doing anything special.

    not plug and play exactly. there is a relay harness you need to hook up and run the lines for.


    but atleast they give it to you for free!!

    me and reggie just talked about that plug. what threw me off was there only being one of them and not one for each side, but i guess you plug it into one side and then hook the other one up without it.

    and chris, did you get the h4 hi lo and if so what did u get as i got the 55w 8000k
