DIY 6000K HID Kit Installation(Scion FR-S ONLY) - Video Guide

Hey guys, so I know there is already a write up on how to do this, but I recorded my brother installing his kit on his FR-S and we made a video guide to make it a bit easier to follow along and to actually see how it is done. At the end of the video, you'll see some night footage and shots of the results from the HID Kit. This kit was provided by DistantXtremes. So check them out if you are interested in this kit.

The best thing to do is to contact them directly to the links below. IMPORTANT: The Ballast for this kit are special order only through phone or email!!

http://www.distantxtremes.com/

http://myworld.ebay.com/distantxtremes_llc/

Either place to contact them is best. Tell them you have and FR-S and they will tell you which kit you need and you'll be able to select your bulb color as well.

DistantXtremes(Kit Manufacturer) had this to say about the video: "Great Video. The Mounting strip now comes as a 3M Mounting Pad. Each Kit can be purchased either by calling us or emailing us or visiting our website or ebay store. The ballasts in this video are special ordered only by phone or email. They are AC Digital Slim with built-in ignitors. Only set on the market. Three year warranty. Google: "DistantXtremes" ebay: "xe+ premium" Great Upload! Glad you like the kit!"

I hope this video helped and thanks for watching!

Looks great and well done. Although you should show a closeup of the wires when you're plugging them in to show color just for clarification, I got what you meant. I think I'll be installing my kit tonight

Thanks for your DIY video. Do you mind if I ask where you purchased this kit from? I couldn't find the exact kit for the 2013 Scion FR-S. I appreciate your help.

I'm not sure what specific kit my brother got, but I'm sure if you ask them, they will tell you the correct one.
