Affordable solution for OEM HID headlights for Chargers!
Second post now updated with how-to info.
First off thanks to Porkchop for attempting this project along with me. I know a lot of the Charger crowd has been looking for an affordable way to have the OEM HID projector headlights. Well it seems it has been found!!! I have an 06 and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the wiring was changed in 08 (they first year they had HID headlights) so it's going to take a little bit of custom wiring for pre 08 Chargers but nothing too difficult. So far I've invested only about $270 (not including the HID kit I already owned) and I believe I have everything to make this happen. More to come soon.....
First check to see if you have the 4 pin connector coming off your housing rather than two 9006 connectors just to confirm.
You need a hid kit to plug and play from your stock harness to the d2s bulbs. If you have two 9006 connectors just use an hid kit meant to connect to a 9006 harness but try to get d2s plugs instead, that or buy them seperate.
My bad. I need to think about what i write more. reasons why i failed English.
I meant the low beams. Are the lights a little better when you use a OE quality bulb like Phillips or slyvina? Or are the cheap Chinese ones the same quality.
No worries about the age thing. If i write like a 17 year old people will think that. talking is my strong suit :kinglock:
So if you only have a 4 pin connector how are you going to connect that to a hid kit? Or do you connect it to the bulb connector itself and leave the cap off?
I'm using the d2s bulbs and they look AHmazing at night. I remember when you guys asked me if I had a 2008+ hid charger, I was like......".....yeeeeaaaahh?!!?????....."
No issues or leaks so far but it hasn't rained yet but like I said, eagle eyes are a decent brand for lights as I have had them before in my 97 tbird. I put BMW e46 projectors inside a new set of eagle eye headlights and never fogged up or anything.
Are they the same ballasts as the 300C's? Anyone got a picture of the OEM ones? If so, I'm set, 'cause I have a pair of 300C ballasts, the cable and the bulbs...
If you do the "notify me" button on the AM autoparts website they will send you an email when they are back in stock. I just ordered a set Monday because I got the email and ordered them right away. A guy who tried to order 10 minutes after me got an email saying his order was cancelled because they were out of stock, but mine has shipped. They only do 5 sets at a time and lots of people must be watching for them cause it only takes a few minutes for them to sell out. I missed out the previous two times.
Here are a couple of night pics. 6000k cell phone pics.
