Re: H.I.D. Install and Headlamp polishing combo how-to LOTS of Pics

very nice writeup, with details. i am interested in the headlight polisher. i'll have to do that sometime soon!

also, you really don't have to drill reliefs on the side of the holes for the dust caps. i drilled a 1 inch hole on both and it's a perfect fit! i've tried it with three different brands of HIDs and each one fits perfectly with the supplied rubber grommets. they all seem to be a standard size. and at one inch, you need to remove a small piece of plastic on the wire attached to the light that plugs into the ballast. once removed, you can reverse feed it through the 1 inch hole, then replace the plastic clip. it quite literally is the perfect fit.

funny thing about that, my friend and i were thinking about drilling a hole there, and, without measuring anything, he just drills this 1 inch hole in the cap. i'm like, wtf dude! turns out it was THE perfect fit! lovely.
