That is no fake. There was no smell across Michigan Avenue, so the building must have been vacant. I guessing it is because Mr. EW was not present at the time, so no professor to teach

Tracie, definitely look on ebay, I bought my Phillips kit brand new on ebay.

eastwest2300 · 07-07-2015, 09:38 AM

I'd also say expect to pay $100 or more for a decent kit, my phillips kit if I remember correctly ran me $200.

Tracie, just a couple basic but big "Do Not Do's"

1. Dont touch the actual bulb from your kit. (I cant stress that enough). I'd even say before you start handling the bulb, put on some nylon gloves, its that important. Why is it important? The HID bulb and the grease/oil/sweat on your hand and HID bulbs are a bad mix, and you run a very high chance of damaging the bulb, or severely affecting the life of the actual bulb itself.

2. Watch your wiring, your engine gets hot, so wire it correctly and tuck it away like its factory, and mount the ballasts in a good spot, zip ties work well when doing this..

What's the xenon output rating, or whatever, on the Z?

Good idea on having the kid help out. Let us know what you find out

Yeah it's not the clutch assembly. Definitely coming from under the car. Easy to hear in the garage. Happens when the car is on or off. I have the Z1 CSC Elimination Kit and still have the noise.
