Then this weekend I have installed the lights of xenon to the car of my fiancèe. The spectacular result, the photos do not make justice of the good that is. Kit at issue is H7 and the color 5000ºK that is white pure with a small bluish touch.

In the box not venia the metal locking devices (in the other that it does not buy for the 206 either) so I have done them.
6 -Aluminum plate to make the locking devices of metal, minimum size of the plate 156mmx122mm.

7 -Materials necessary to make the locking devices of metal. Of above to down: Pliers to cut metal, Lima of metal, Caliber or Meter to measure, Pencil, Rule and to the left white painting (or of the color that we want)

8 -Measurement of the balastros.

13 -Painted of Target.

Aki already we began preparing the land for later but ahead screwing the balastros. 14 -We cleared of the balastros the white sticker of underneath.

xenon_img_14.jpg

15 -Part of under balastro.

xenon_img_15.jpg

16 -We stuck the tape of double face in the part of under balastro (including in kit).

xenon_img_16.jpg

17 -We stuck balastro with the tape of double face to the metal locking devices. And in addition we took hold them with bridles (including in kit). The cables of balastro of the left side must be towards the left and those of the right light towards the right, from this form arrive cables well. The one of the photo is the one of the right light.

xenon_img_17.jpg

18 -Necessary screws for you screw the balastros in the bay of the motor. Of left to right: Screw of the right side, Screw of the left, separating side for screw of the left side and 2 nuts for the screw of the left side.

xenon_img_18.jpg

19 -Measurement for the screw of balastro of the right side.

xenon_img_19.jpg

20 -Measurement for the screw of balastro of the left side.

xenon_img_20.jpg

21 -Reel of 25mm to make a hole of 25mm in each cover to pass cables.

xenon_img_21.jpg

22 -Cover of the light.

xenon_img_22.jpg

23 -Cover of the drilled light.

xenon_img_23.jpg

24 -Connector that goes to balastro from the light bulb. It is necessary to clear with a flat screwdriver a small small cover to him for soon after putting it by the hole of the cover of the light to return it to put.

xenon_img_24.jpg

25 -To the connector it is necessary to file to him a little the lateral one, which this in red, since the hole of the cover is of 25mm and the connector measures 28mm, with filing 1mm to him by each side is worth. Once happened through the hole of the cover of the light, one becomes to place the piece of plastic release as it were.

xenon_img_25.jpg

26 -Once passed cables, you place the cork in the hole and fits perfect. Inner side of the cover.

xenon_img_26.jpg

27 -Outer side of the cover. Once fact this already we can put the light bulbs in the light.

xenon_img_27.jpg

A sideburn of the metal is necessary to put them quitardo (it forms of Or alreves) that tightens the light bulb to the light, since but it will piyará cables of the xenon light bulb, so that single it leaves one, poneis insulating tape in the other side. Once removed to 1 side from the metal that, you place the light bulb and raisins thus the cables by means of the metal and when tightening the light bulb against the light not piya the cables. You connect the 2 cables that there are to the connector that goes to the original light bulb, the yellow is the positive (to the red one) and the orange the negative (to the black). Later you put the cover to the light and currier's knives a little cables to remove them towards the bay from the motor.

28 -Right side of the bay of the motor. Where it goes to go straight screwed balastro, in the hole marked with I circulate blue.

xenon_img_28.jpg

29 -Left side of the bay of the motor. Where it goes to go screwed balastro left, in the hole marked with I circulate blue.

xenon_img_29.jpg

30 -We screwed the screw of the right side to fix balastro.

xenon_img_30.jpg

31 -We prepared the left side to screw him balastro. Putting the screw by the inner part of the plate and we fixed it with a nut.

xenon_img_31.jpg

32 -We put balastro with a little maña since it fits just and we put it by the screw and we tightened the other nut.

xenon_img_32.jpg

With the this already estaria all finished work. In time fué, 30min the left side since there is to disassemble the taking of the filter of the air of the right part of the bay of the motor, so and as indicates in manual and the section substitution of a light bulb, and in the side straight nothing else 10min since it is not necessary to make nothing special. Aki some photos of before and later.
The illumination of the photos does not correspond to the reality, since the halogenous ones do not shine much (1300lm) and the stopper of the camera catches much light of around, but as those of xenon they shine more very many (2800lm) the camera closes the stopper and what there is around it catches it much more dark. If not fijaos in light bulb of position of photo Light Halogenous and Light Xenon, that seems that Xenon shines except the light bulb of position in the one of Light, but is the same one. This note in the black door of the images Halogenous Illumination and Illumination Xenon, that in the one of xenon seems that it does not illuminate it, but in fact illuminates but those of xenon that halogenous, the single one that in the photo is not appraised thus. Also in the photos it seems that a pile dazzles the lights and in the reality is not thus, does not dazzle anything.
