Default S197 HID Install by Stangmods.com 56k-no way

Howdy Group.....

OK, so the Bullitt got a ton of attention yesterday, so today I turned to the 05...I finally decided to install HID's on the 05. Karen's Bullitt already has the factory HID's, and I love em. I don't believe every Bullitt comes from the factory with HID's, so this kit could be used on the Bullitt as well......

This is the 6000K Bixenon Kit from Stangmods.com The 6000K is a blueish white, without going over the edge to the solid blue....I felt this to be the right choice for me....This is a very complete, plug and play kit, meaning there is no wire splicing involved, just plugs....



First step for me was to remove the radiator cover, as well as the radiator extensions, if you have them....This gives you all the room you need up front for routing of wires....



Fairly simple to get to the passenger side stock bulb. Remove the factory bulb..



Driver side for me was a bit more complicated, only because of the Vortech CAI...But simple enough to deal with...



Once the CAI is out of the way, ton of room to get to the factory bulb...



Twist and remove the factory bulb. Take note that there is a very good chance there will be a rubber gasket left behind on the headlight.



Remove the rubber gasket from either the headlight, or the factory bulb, and transfer it onto the HID base...



Both sides should now have the stock bulb removed, and the HID bulbs installed...





Now, remove the cover of the fuse box. At the rear of the fuse box, you will see the bolt that carries the main power into the fuse box.



Remove this bolt, and install the supplied power wire from the HID kit...



After this is done, you can re-install the fuse box cover. Down at the base of the fuse box, on the fender well, there are a couple of bolts securing it. This is a great place for your ground lead from the kit...



I opted to use the bolt toward the front grille, so there was enough slack in the HID harness for the other connections...



At this point, this is pretty much what you have on the passenger side of the car...



Following the black wire loom that runs across the front of the engine bay, run the other cables from the HID harness over to the drivers side of the car...
