Debug update. I switched the power for high with low with the same results. I also tried connecting just the low, and high beam is on when the switch is in low, and the lights are off when high beam is switched on. The high beams are turned on with an electromagnet, can the metal housing being so close to the bulb housing be a problem? I sent a reply to customer service, so I'll see what they say. shiggy6581 - did you mean to respond to the other HID thread ordering the projector lens kit?

So I tried to chat with customer service, but after I told them about my problem they told me to send and email. I did and here's their response: "After getting the lights to turn on you can test again the polarity with the Hid harness plug that attaches to the factory headlight plug and found the problem there. Please switch the blue and white wires on the HID harness and tested. The high/low beams work." So I was thinking that the plug that connects the HID system to the stock system would be a logical place to start debugging since that's the trigger for turning on low and high beams. FricFrac also pointed me in this direction - so I'll try to debug this today.

So here's a shot of the beam pattern: Unfortunately it appears that the high beams are always on. It doesn't look any different when the high beams are actually turned on. It appears that the low beam pattern shows up for a second when I turn the lights off. Here's a frame from a small movie I took showing what looks like the low beams: So I've contacted customer support and we'll see how that goes. Anyone have any suggestions?

Installation is complete and the lights are working. I'll try to take output pic's tonight.

The installation moves on. It's hard to imagine the wiring being much better or easier to install. It includes nice weatherpacks and looming and they appear to really only connect one way. The length won't allow my ballast to go behind the radiator support so I'll probably just keep them in front.

No, did those come on 240's?

So I started the installation process. I removed the existing halogen bulbs and installed the xenon bulbs. Below you can see the new bulbs next to my Autopal MSR housings with the halogen bulbs still in place. The xenon bulbs fit in easily, but in order to install the waterproof membrane I had to remove the housing from the bulb and then put it back together. Now I had to install the housings with the halogen bulb back into the metal headlight housing. The new bulb and housing was just a little bit to big to fir, so I had to make room. I haven't decide what to do about this opening yet. I have the waterproof membrane below, but do I need to make this waterproof as well?

So I received my shipment from vvme today. For clarity I ordered 1 x Digital Slim H4-3(9003) Bi-Xenon HID Kit Color Temperature 4300K. The kit was $86.99 and DHL shipping was $18.35 for a total of $105.34. Below are the pic’s of the package (clearly showing it shipped from China), the box with “designed in Germany†written on it, the contents, and the ballast placed where I’m thinking of installing it. It looks good and the ballast is very compact at approx. 3†x 2.5†x .5â€. I’ll post up more pic’s of the actual install and the output after installation is complete.

The hatch is from Raceonusa: http://www.raceonusa.com/datsun-240z-70-73-c-826_827/karmotion-carbon-fiber-oem-hatch-datsun-240z-70-73-3-door-p-27697

I believe that no matter what color you get, it will be illegal in the US. My understanding is that the only cars that can legally use HID lights are one's that came that way from the factory. The more you stray from the stock color, the more likely you are to be pulled over. That's way I chose 4300k which is closest to OEM.

I don't think the Corvette setup will work either because it's too wide. I think the options are to run it in the stock location or modify your frame rails to make it sit low.
