Official "Slimcubby" HID Kit Install DIY

Both sides I get both go beams but no low

 

Hello everybody, I have installed HID as cable tec has demonstrated us to do so. I have been very happy on how much lighting there is. My question is do you guys ever get flashed by oncomin cars or get pissed drivers?

I have read other post where they say you need retro fits? Is this true are you all running your HID light with stock headlights?, or aiming your headlights down?

Im sure this has been asnwered before but I really need some input from all you taco owners.... Thanks

 

Ok so we do have to aim our lights to the point where could see the road still. This is true slim cubby does hook it up and I do appreciate the help i can get. Ill have to try this and see how it works out for me.

Are you runnign HID's too?

 

Is it hard to get retro fits installed or do you have to replace the whole headlight to do so?

What do you reccomend?

 

Still could use some help with my problem

 

I'm ready for a group buy!. Oh and I see that 35w and 55w are available. Why wouldn't you go with 55?

 

Remotruker, I'll be holding a group buy starting March 1st.

As for the 35w/55w I recommend 35w for daily driving and 55w for more rural or off road use only. The 55w's will result in getting flashed more than the 35w's.

 

That could be interesting but depends on who is doing the flashing

Thanks for the info, I'll check back in a couple of weeks. I need two sets for my Subaru and the Taco.

 

When you lock the bulbs under the spring, do the white strip ouside the bulb have to be on the right for both? let say im looking from behind the lights(motor side) they should be on the right in the headlight? Let me know what you think cause when i have them on lowbeams they are equal but when i flick the highs i notice that the reflection on the wall move a bit to the right. Oh and if you know a good method on how to adjust the alignment, im not shure if they are to high or to low. Sorry to bug you whit that.

 

Got my Slim Cubby HID kit installed today with great assistance from this write up. Thanks OP....reps coming your way.

Bi-Xenon FTW

 

on the HID bulbs...does that white strip outside the tube have to be facing bown in the reflector?wich side should they go left or right? thx

 

Nope. They are not directional.

 

Good info, thanks

 

well how come when i flip the bulb around and reinstall them, the reflection changes?

 

I noticed a -40 operating range limit.... I live in Alaska & -40 is not the coldest I have seen.... there are hid equipped vehicles here & I have not heard of problems....or is this just your product limitation?

 

I believe that they work below that temp but that's what there tested at. I will confirm with my supplier for you and get back to you.

 

I guess I should of read this post before installing my hids. I broke the plastic tooth that holds in the retaining ring. Do I have to buy an entirely new head light assembly to fix this ??? ;( ;( ;(

Anybody have an ideas..? The stock bulb seems to sit in there fine, but without the retaining ring the HID light bulb is all over the place. I'll be blinding people. Doh.

 

Dude, Cableguy... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I freeked out when I opened the box but looked at your pic's & discription and got it done in twenty min!
It all went just as you said.. Thank you

 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

 

I have a similar kit. It is true you just pull the parts apart and the boot fits easily sealing everything. One thing I have to note: I have never been flashed for running my HID H4 plug and play. I have been flashed by running HID 9145 foglights. I took the plug and play out of the foglights and no more flashing me. I now plan on doing a TRS retrofit on my foglights.
