Acura RSX HID Kit Installation

Tools Required

• 10mm ratchet and socket
• At least an 8 inch extension for the ratchet and socket
• Small and medium flat head screwdrivers
• Medium Phillips head screwdriver
• Wire cutters
• Wire crimpers
• Electrical Tape
• Small Connectors
• 30amp Fuses (at least 4)
• Dremel Tool

Step One

Remove the six clips on top of the bumper. Use a flat head screw driver and be very careful, these clips like to break. Once the clips starts to release work it out from different sides and that will help reduce the chance to breaking them. Do not force it, just work it off slowly.

Step Two

Remove the six clips on the bottom of the bumper. There are 4 across the center and one on each side in front of each wheel.

Step Three

Remove the four screws from the bottom of the bumper. There are two on each side in front of each wheel.

Step Four

Remove the two screws that are located in the fenderwell. There is only one screw per side. It is located in between the bottom and the top of the fender.

Step Five

Remove the top two 10mm bolts from each of the headlamps.

Step Six

Remove the 10mm bolt on the side of each headlamp.

Step Seven

Using the socket and the extension, remove the bolt on the inside of headlamp. It is located right below the thin part of each headlight. Disconnect all other bulb harnesses. Remove the bottom metal piece (10mm bolt) from the stock headlamp, install the metal piece onto the JDM headlamp.

Step Eight

Remove the low beam bulbs and the plugs that hold them in place.

Step Nine

Some HID kits include this piece so this step might not be needed

Using a dremel tool you need to remove a large portion of the stock bulb connector housing.  It is pretty easy, but takes a while to get proper fitment.  Be sure that you don't do too much because it will cause the bulb to be lose.  Take your time and continuously check using the HID bulb to make sure you get it perfect.  You need to do this for both sides.

Step Ten

Install the HID bulb using the stock connector housing to hold the bulb in place.

Step Eleven

I installed the ballests onto the fender. The fitment was good and it keeps it protected from the elements. I did this on both sides.

Step Twelve

Wire up the remainder of the kit following the supplied instructions. I covered the wires with electrical tape for a little extra protection and to give it an OEM quality look.

Step Thirteen

Make sure everything works before reinstalling the bumper and the headlamps.

Step Fourteen

Reinstall bumper reversing steps one through four.
