Re: HID headlight questions
HIDs can be had for cheap, under $100 you can have a complete system. After that it's just bulbs.
yep just take out the extra harness that's for the HIDs and then plug the factory harness to the halogen bulb and plug back in.
Re: HID headlight questions
Sweet, thank you sir. I had a feeling it would be simple. So all he would need is oem type bulbs? Original harness should still be in there?

Re: HID headlight questions
Yeah original harness should be there, the new one usually just plugs in to the factory harness then to the two boxes, one per side.
Now with a cherokee the oem was a sealed headlight unit, meaning the plug plugged into the back of the headlight, no bulb. You may have to just look at it and see if the factory harness can just plug into the oem type bulb.
Basically just look at it and see what you have and go from there. You can post pics and we can help you. My experience with HIDs is with my wife's Grand Cherokee WK. So I may be off on some of the details.
Re: HID headlight questions
Awesome, thanks for the help buddy!
Re: HID headlight questions
Does his acura have stock HID lights? If so it wont be that simple.
Re: HID headlight questions
Hmm, not sure if they're stock actually.
Re: HID headlight questions
Lots of acuras come stock with them. If thats the case, he will have to find a bulb that fits the socket, and then, if i was him, I'd build my own headlight harness like you would do on an xj.
Re: HID headlight questions
I'm still waiting on his reply. I do know it's a 2003 Acura TL if that helps
Re: HID headlight questions
Yep, he just replied that they're stock HID lights.
Re: HID headlight questions
aww ok, why not just go aftermarket HIDs. Not like they are that expensive.
Re: HID headlight questions
Yep, that's what I just told him. hidextra.com seems pretty cheap
