Xenon/HID Components : D2S Kits

Philips 4300k HID D2S Kit
(XD-4k-D2S)

Price: $429.99
Sale Price: $359.99

Qty. Options: H1 H3 H4 H7 H11 9004 9005 9006 9007


The XenonDepot 4300k HID D2S kit will include unmodified Philips 4300k D2S bulbs and Philips LVQ 212 ballasts. This product will include a complete wiring harness that will literally plug directly into your OEM headlight harness via proper mating connectors. The harness provided will include upgraded fuses and relays to ensure you do not draw a higher current from your stock harness than it was designed to provide. Please select what type of harness you require when making payment in the options field. Harnesses available in H1, H3, H4, H7, H11, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007. Our H4, 9004, and 9007 wiring harnesses are low beam only.


WIRING HARNESS INCLUDED - $50 value!

This kit will include the following:

2 x D2S Philips Capsules
2 x D2 Philips LVQ 212 Ballasts
Complete wiring harness





this kit says it has 2 bulbs, 2 ballasts, harness and even relays. So with this kit, some materials, and 2 TSX projectors, i should be set, right???
And I'm guessing I should get the H11 harness...

With the kit, do you need to cut any wires and connect them or they are all snap on connectors?

You do need to run 2 wires to the battery, and 2 grounds. No slicing or cutting though.
