Yup.
My first lil guide for fitting a HID kit on an fd. Mine is the dipped and main one, this one needs a little bit of cutting, i think the HID dipped only one doesnt need cutting, not sure.
Tools needs.
Possitive screwdriver
10mm socket, with exstention or stubby rachet
Drill
Hacksaw blade or something similar
Pliers
[LIST=1]
- Well theres 2 screws at the back of the light just under the cover, undo them a little bit so the cover is loose.
- Then pop up the lights and remove the suround by removing the 4 screws.
- You can now access the 2 front screws for the light cover. Do same as 1st step.
- Remove rubber light seal and bulb (Keep the bulb safe you never know when you need it)
- You will need to cut about a 1 ince square chunk out of the light unit by drilling a couple of holes in the corners and using a hacksaw blade to cut.

- Im skinny so i managed to get my arms down bellow the light unit to fit the ballast and control unit, if your not then you can remove the light lense unit buy popping the clips and taking off the spring.
- You then gotta fit the ballast units, I used the oil cooler bolt to attach them. (http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35478&d=1193487415) (courtesy of ashc)
- I used cable ties to fit the control unit, this is something i might change but its in the bottom corner of the light housing towards the outside of the car.
- Connect the rest of the unit up by running the wires through the hole you cut ealier.
- I tested the unit at this point and you need the engine running as the battery doesnt supply enough juice and the ballasts cut out.
- Insert the bit that surounds the light bulb in the the light lense unit.
- Put the rubber seal back on.
- You can now insert the light bulb, should have little arrow facing up towards you.
- Now insert the lamp back in to its home.
- Put the light cover on not the suround.
- You now need to align it up with the bumper and wing
- Now put that last bit of plastic on thats the surround and your done.
Job done.
Heres some pics of it half way through.
