Official "Slimcubby" HID Kit Install DIY

My buddy sent me a pic of his hid install. Is the shield on the wrong side? Shouldn't it be on thr bottom of the bulb so light shines up?

 

Shield should be on the bottom to shine light up to the housings reflectors to emit light down onto the road. If it's upside down the bulbs will not give the correct light pattern.

 

Finished installing... Neither light is firing up? Swapped ballast and still nothing. Where could I have went wrong?

 

Never mind. I'm a retard. I grounded my power cable lol.

 

Lol I was just about to reply and ask you to check your grounds.

 

Say I order a 55 watt kit for my fog lights. Could I use the 55 watt ballast for my head lights and put the 35 w that's on my headlights now for the fogs?

 

I was wondering if anyone knows that if I install this in my Tacoma would it void any warrantees on the truck. I have a 2015 only for 8 months or so and I don't want to void anything out yet... Lol

 

SUB. Having issues with the dropdown menu on website. Will check back later.

 

Does anybody know if Slim is still in business? I sent an email from his site almost 2 weeks ago and I've heard nothing from him. I need some replacement lights.

Anyone know what HID will work with his kits and where I can get a replacement?

I'm driving around with one headlight!

 

Still in business sorry I've had a lot more emails if you want you can pm me your info and what you need or let me know your email and I'll lookup your email to me.

 

Slim Cubby can your HID's run in the
Spyder Auto Toyota Tacoma Black CCFL LED Projector Headlight?

 

If there is currently a halogen bulb in the housing it can be converted to HID with my kit.

 

Slim Cubby,
Did you receive my PM and email? Can you look up the replacement bulb I need?

 

With the exception of the different output of color are all the bulbs for HIDs generally the same? I don't remember what I purchased but from what I can remember the box looks very similar to this one and I need a new headlight. Where can I buy individual bulbs?

 

Public service announcement:

HIDs in halogen reflectors is not a safe or acceptable practice. It is well documented that HIDs in a halogen reflector lens will cause significant scatter blinding oncoming drivers and waste your light output into the air rather than putting it onto the pavement where it can do some good.

It is possible to out perform HIDs and LEDs in light output while maintaining proper beam pattern to maximize usable light on the road, and cost significantly less while using conventional technology:

So which bulb would work in the XENON kit? I need a replacement

 

Has anyone removed their Slim Cubby Set up? I have been trying to get a hold of him for a month or so now with no response. I am sick of not being able to use my fog lights and am ready to part ways with my set. Anyone have a write up on how to remove and reinstall stock fogs. It's been a while since I have had stock lights.

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure you're not suppose to run HID's in a chrome OEM housing since it blinds oncoming drivers by spraying light everywhere. HID's are much better used with projectors where the light spray is controlled. And you have a projector cut off that doesn't blind oncoming traffic. You can see way farther with HID retrofits that include projectors. I completely agree with @crashnburn80

 

Where can you find the piece that connects the three prong thing from the pre-existing bulb connections?

 

Hey where can i get that connector that connects the three prong bulb connector to the little connector with the black and red wires?
