Hi ya'll,It may be all in my head, but it seems that the doors of my wife's 2009 Vibe GT close with more resistance than the doors on my 2009 Vibe GT. I like the way her doors close better. Is there a way to increase closing resistance?Thanks.

raphide

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what they looked like.Unfortunately no, I didn't take pictures with them on/off.When my new bulbs arrive (hopefully by Monday) I will be sure to take pictures. Thanks Keith, really appreciate your help.As for now, I guess it's driving with 1 light and 2 fog lights. (A...

The shields are supposed to stay!? Really?With them on, the beams produced were awful. Without them, they shoot evenly...Edit: It would be lovely to swap with my neighbor, he's proposed that too. Unfortunately, the Vibe uses H4 and his use H7.

raphide

Aha!It hadn't even occurred to me that it could be the ground.Keith, I must say - you know your stuff. Every time I post a problem, I get tempted to come out there and have you help me with all my HID problems. When my bulbs come, I will need to take a picture as I'm unsure about those too. They cam...

Hi all,Some of you may remember me posting several questions about HIDs. I finally got everything installed and working properly until today. They have been in for less than 2 weeks. Everything was operational (except for having two different bulb color temperatures, which is being replaced by the s...

raphide

Aha! Excellent. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much.Ben

Hi. Sorry I wasn't more descriptive. I have an 04 Vibe. The problem isn't doing the mod, I have all my instructions - it's just gaining access to where the module is. I see if I'm on my back above the gas and brake pedals that I can see pretty much everything but can't get in there to do any work. I...

Hello everyone.I feel like this is such a newby question, but can anyone please tell me how to get to the DRL module? I know where it is located, but can't seem to find any way to get in there.Thanks a lot,Ben

raphide

I know that this needs to be plugged into the harness, so if the relay (I have two, both with only one of these three prong plugs), then just plug it into the opening nearest the battery, and unplug the old one? Last question: What should I do with the old one? Thanks so much!Ben

raphide

Due to problems with not having a camera to use, I can only do my best to describe what this neat little problem is.This is the kit I have: http://www.amazon.com/XenTec-C...r=8-2I have figured out where everything is supposed to go as far as plugging in the bulbs, and the ballasts (I hope.) The only...

So today, with some great weather, I decided to go and install the HID kit I bought a month or two ago.Of course, as with all things, I ran into some problems. On wiring harness that came with the kit, I can not find where to plug the relay into the harness?I'm assuming it is somewhere near the batt...

Hi everyone,I am interested in knowing if anyone has any idea (or even better, if anyone has done) how to disable the DRLs for the headlamps, but keep the DRLs hooked up to the fog lights. Basically, what I would like to do is disable the drl connection to the headlamps, hook it up to the fog lights...

I actually purchased a battery relay with a seperate fuse, etc just to give it a dedicated line. For peace of mind, I'll pay twenty bucks.

Sounds good. Any idea how long these kits usually take to do? From install to back to driving around? Anyone who has used these kits: Have you seen a significant difference in terms of light output?

I'm not a huge fan of the DRLs to begin with. I feel as if just the inspection sticker sitting in front of the sensor causes it to switch to auto headlights far too early - sometimes on sunny days at high noon.I have also talked to my girlfriend, who has (of course) told me NOT to do the projectors,...

yeah, I'm gonna wait to get the group buy I think.My brother actually has an '08 TL type S. I love those headlights. A lot. But I've read they're too big to retrofit.

I feared that in the back of mind. I'm looking into buying a new headlight, or used one. Just as long as it doesn't already have the haze on it or the moisture, I may go spend $100 to protect the investment, although I don't really see them all that cheap.

One last question for you, before I let you go. My driver side headlight has quite a bit of moisture in it. If I'm going to be dropping in these projectors, should I be concerned about the moisture? There isn't a LOT but it's created a bit of haze on the headlight and you can see water beads on the ...

I must say that's VERY nice looking (I liked the pictures of how your headlights looked afterwards)This, I am interested in. Please let me know when you will be starting this group buy again. I'll be in line.

That's becoming more and more intriguing. Although to be honest, I don't know how much help I could be seeing as the extent of my car savvyness is oil changes. I'd be willing to pay, obviously.When you do these group buys, is it just the projector or is it the projector, bulbs, etc? Also, I assume y...

I actually did see your older post with the photos.I saw the three photos. I was a bit confused as to what each was, even though they were marked. One was your wife's SS, the other was the HIDs without projectors and one was with projectors?That being the case, while everything I read seems to be ve...

Okay, so I think I get it.Correct me if I'm wrong, bi-xenon lights will still allow functionality for both high and low beam. If this is true though, will they still be significantly brighter than a hologen bulb (even without projectors?)If I am correct, and they will still be brighter than plain ol...

Whew. Quite a bit of information in there. I really appreciate it.You hit the nail right on the head in terms of price. I'm looking to spend somewhere less than $200. So without going well above that price range, it seems bi-xenon (non projectors) is my only option. (I can only imagine the time, ene...

love 'em, In fact, I would love to know when (if) they come out for the Vibe, I'd be first in line. Can't stand those stock tails.
