VolvoTD Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I search and found some good info but not enough to satisfy my needs. I ordered the Darkened Jewel kit from Vptuning and want to add Xenon 9006 HID kit to it. Was wondering if it will work and will i have to do some extra moding to the lights? http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/A...LRG-Results.htmFound that site listing what bulbs I can get and was thinking the 9006CB and the 9005CB Blue Halogen Low and high beams, will these work? I searched for a place to buy them but cant find one with a good discription of the product, were have you guys boughten yours? Or should i just not even bother and leave the headlights with their led's?Thanks alot for the help! -JohnnyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exexpat Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I searched for a place to buy them but cant find one with a good discription of the product, were have you guys boughten yours? ←Hi Johnny. We have boughten ours from a variety of sources. Ebay has quite a selection of HID kits, Kevin aka '98S70R can get them, and jamaica2G also has them. Expect to spend around $240-$350 + shipping for a complete conversion kit (price depends on brand used etc.). The correct fitment for your lights is H1 base, and I recommend 7000k or less temperment.

The regular jeweled headlights have an option of either H1 or 9006/9005.The only modifications I made to install the HIDs was to use a 5/8" hole saw to put a hole in the access caps. That allows you to run the wires through and use the included gromet to seal the hole up.I tap the power for the HIDs from outside the headlight housings, which you can also see in that picture.

exexpat Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 So do the unused H1 plugs just flutter about in the housings, or did you secure them to something? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George @ ViVA Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Rumor has it there may be a DOT version of the darkened 850 jewels on VPTuning soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 So do the unused H1 plugs just flutter about in the housings, or did you secure them to something? ←There are just 2 wires that aren't connected. The grounds are connected, although they don't do anything. The power wires are shielded, so they won't short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veneficus Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 George, I heard from Frank that they were making a new run of the black headlights that had the leaking problem fixed? Is this going to be the DOT version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George @ ViVA Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 The only 'leaking problem' that has been confirmed by the manufacturer were for the turn signal lenses, and a new batch of the turn signal lenses were manufactured months ago. I am now getting conflicting reports about the existence of the DOT darkened Jewels.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veneficus Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 what the existance of H1's vs 9005/6 series models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exexpat Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 If it comes to having a choice in the future, remember this. 9006 DOT halogen bulbs produce 1000 Lumens @ 55w and H1 55w produce 1550 Lumens. This point is null and void for HID D2S, which are 3200 Lumens regardless of base.Edit: Lumens = light output of bulb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
