The Black/White is ground, and the Brown/White is ground. The solids are 12v +. If you are referring to an 07? But it should be Black/White on each side for ground.....

I was wondering when the monthly HID thread was gonna pop up...

I would tell you to use the search button, but I'm pretty sure you don't care lol.

So here.

SCASADJW, You do not have your squirrel spotters covered. Your halogen projectors have tiny squares cut out on the bottom of your projectors, so it can emit light higher to light up the road signs. While this is fine for halogen bulbs since they are weak and will not blind anyone, since you have HIDs, now you are blinding people.

HID info

Cover it. ASAP. Before you cause any accidents. And here, you should also reaim your headlights.

Need Help With Light Aiming!

Good luck... I hope you're not one of those onetime users who just leave us after getting what they want.. Kinda makes us feel like prostitutes ya noe? ahahahahha!

I'm sticking with stock. The only way I will switch to HID is if I had one of those retrofit headlights. Stock w/ fog lights is pretty bright and If I wont get the full wide angle by installing plug n play w/ stock projectors I dont think its gonna be that great. The thing I love about Acura TL's and such are the wide angle output. It really helps when you have tinted windows and making a turn to see what is around the corner quicker. It looks like a 160 degree wall of lighting coming out the front of the car and no blinding!
