Preparation:

★ When installing HID Xenon Lamp, you should place the ballast in a drafty area to dissipate heat. Do not
place the ballast near the engine or fan which will give off a lot of heat. If the ballast temperature goes up to
105 degrees, the over heat protection will automatically shut off the power.
★ During installation please make sure that you have a good ground for the negative, please ensure it is
grounded to metal .A poor ground will cause the HID light to flicker.
★ Avoid scratching the bulb when you install it, don’t touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands.
★ Please ensure all connections e.g. the plug in of the lights socket, the positive and negative of the power
are well connected, Fail to do some will result in performance shortfall.
★ When you adjust the bulb, please don’t let the end of the bulb touch the inner glare shield of the headlamp assembly.

Guide from VVME.COM

Step 1: After disconnecting power to the two headlamps and after removing the bulb access covers of the low beam, high beam or both bulb access covers, drill a small hole in the removed cover. The HID-Xenon bulb wire is passed through this hole for your headlamp upgrade. On the wire is a supplied adjustable tight rubber waterproof grommet to be fitted into the hole. Next, the HID-Xenon bulb is fitted into the headlamp's base and locked into position via the factory locking device. No cutting of wiring is required on the installation.



Step 2:Reinstall the access panel and close it.Secure the small ballast to a convenient location in the motorbay.




Step 3: Finally attach power to the headlamp in the normal manner and the upgrade is completed. Headlamp realignment is recommended but only required if you have removed the headlamp during the upgrade which sometimes can be avoided (model and side dependant). It takes about 1-2hours to complete the installation. No special tools are required. Normal handtools only.

V v m e IS good stuff. Ive posted on it a few time here.
It's a fairly straight away install.
Take you time and reap the benefits of true light.
What's not to like.
