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?

Creaking clutch pedal - 2009

not a big deal, just an audible noise which i could live without.

eastwest2300 · 07-07-2015, 09:49 AM

Tracie, some listings that you'll find on ebay, will show your the xenon rating and the picture of its colored output.

Rule #1. SO IMPORTANT!!! People don't realize how getting oil from your fingers on the glass housing drastically reduces the lifespan of the bulb itself.
