Fixing to install my HID's....any tips?
 
Fixing to install my HID's from HIDextra! Any tips from those who have done it or otherwise? I have read several threads....I'm aware of all the people opposed to them and the possible fm interference. I'm just thinking that there may be some helpful tips out there to ease installation and to get it right the first time. Thanks in advance! :icon_hyper:

You'll love em when you get them in! Only suggestion I have is to can the ty-raps and use hose clamps to hold the ballest to the frame.
Oh. And don't just pull on the quick disconnects. Theres a red release on side. ;)

When you pull the grill off. Pull from the bottom of the grill to prevent breaking the tabs that are on the bottom.

When installing the grill back on, try to engage the bottom clips at the same time. You might need 2 people.

Put tape on top of your bumper or you'll scratch it when you pull your grille out. And make sure you've got a pair of cancelers or your lights will flicker and go out (a real pisser when you get everything back together).

Thanks for all the tips! The install was a success! Once I got through the tear-down process, everything else was a breeze! Its always a blast learning how to take apart a new kind of vehicle....got the old dodges down pat, then the f150's, but this truck had some new tricks up its sleeves!!

010 Sport 04-11-2010 03:44 PM

Reception is fine! No issues at all!

tombogue09 04-11-2010 05:12 PM

Which radio do you have?

010 Sport 04-11-2010 05:18 PM

Ummm....the mygig with nav. Forget if that's the ren or rer lol

tombogue09 04-11-2010 05:55 PM

If it has nav then its rer.

I asked because most of the static issues are with the ren and rer radios
