Hello all!
I received my Science of Speed HID kit a couple of days ago.
Here are my observations of the kit.
It came well packaged and in a timely manner.
The kit is the McCulloch one for the Acura NSX. Science of Speed included two end caps that are pre-drilled to fit your NSX. The kit also includes all the hardware for plug and play.
The instructions are clear but still need some fine tuning. My 2000 NSX has slightly different wiring than the 1993 that the directions were designed after. with a little fiddling, I managed to find the right connections.
I informed Chris, so the next installment of the directions should be all set with the correct wiring for later production NSX's.
It definitely took me more than an hour to install the lights. I am a meticulous person. If you take your time and read the directions thoroughly it will take you about three hours to install both lights.
Now that I know what I am doing, it would only take me about an hour to do the install. For the first timer I would definitely allow at least three hours.
Make sure you place the ballast at a 90 degree angle when you place it in the front part of the bumper. The plastic headlight cover can pinch the two wires coming out of it if you don't.
Originally there is a plastic cap with an o ring seal on each low beam light. This lets you gain access to the light bulb and then seal it tight from the elements. With the SOS kit there must be a small hole drilled in the cap to allow two wires to protrude from the cap. SOS provides the cap and pre-drills the holes for you.
You will then stick the two wires through a rubber grommet that fills the holes. The grommet is there to keep dust and moisture from entering the inside of the light.
After careful inspection of my light, I decided to use some silicone II on the grommet once in place to ensure that nothing gets into the light housing.
The grommet could come loose and let dust and moisture into the light housing (not good).
When all was said and done, the lights look wonderful! Very bright with a great white look! They are "more blue" than my Mercedes and most definitely make the car look classy. I can see better at night.
I would buy this kit again hands down!
