[Bawbz]

Ballin' on a budget!
All my little paychecks go to this little guy, i needa start saving money for college -_-
(iPad quality pictures! YEEEEEE)

August 10, HIDs installed

- H&R Springs installed
- blacked out emblems
- Plasti Dip'd hubcaps

This is my first picture(s) of my Mazda 2, currently waiting for a couple things to come in the mail. Currently looking into to getting a new muffler/exhaust, Seat Leon Cupra front lip, Rear Spoiler, and little things here and there!

Need help/advice for removing Amber on front headlights, side lights, and removing of stock antenna.
Thanks for viewing!​

The antennae screws off. Just like a normal antennae it's just harder to do with your bare hands because of the angle.
Check the how to for removing the yellow reflector.

so far im loving the drop from the H&Rs and my HIDs. Is there any complexed wiring for switching antennas?

 

[kwaits92]

No you just unscrew one and screw on the other.

Do they make HID kits that allow high beam and low beam on the same bulb? I was wondering because the only vehicle I've put HIDs in was my truck and it has 4 bulbs..

Lookin' solid so far. If you need any quotes for anything on your wish list just PM me.

Can only be removed if you actually open the headlights up.

+1. I've upgraded low beams before, but never a single reflector setup. How does it work exactly? There is a white Mazda2 here in town running HID in the OEM reflector housing, so I know it can be done. Just not sure how...

Yes. The Retrofit Source has them. Bi-xenon: Morimoto Mini H1 5.0. Click on the "What's Included" tab for proof. If anyone needs a set. You can buy them from me.

The Retrofit Source is an awesome company with excellent customer service. I can't say enough about them.

Retrofitting the Mazda 2's stock lamps is pretty straight forward. They'll give you everything you need to make it plug and play. The Mazda 2 has a dual low/high beam set up and they'd set it up where all you'd have to do is plug the new wires directly into your headlight plug. Of course you'll have to open up your headlights yourself and install the HID's.

Sorry, I meant he's running HID with no projector retrofit, in the stock OEM reflector housing. Is there a bi-xenon setup for that with a single bulb? I was just curious how he made it work... I've never had a car with a dual duty single reflector before.

to be honest, i wasted money on those HIDs. i will be retrofitting my headlights + removing amber after my wheels and such. i'm thinking maybe Wheels + headlights in Oct, and then tints + glossing of emblems in Nov.
