2010-2012 HID headlights to 2013 HID headlights conversion

[martin_nj]

Can anyone confirm with the ballasts are the same between the '13 and '12?

Unfort my '12 doesn't have HIDs so I can't do the legwork myself

They were made by different company so.. I wouldn't count on it..

 

[shark tales]

Correct the car has factory 2012 HIDs

Yes.. but he wants the 13 hids..
And were all waiting around to buy his 12 hids

i got a pair of '13 headlights for sale if any1 else is interested...only bad part is the top tabs are broken on each of them..will keep track of this thread so i can answer questions if ppl ask...i actually thought they would be direct transfer from '12 to '13

So basically it would be impossible to go from an 11-12 halogen car to a 13 HID light?

 

[LTX]

Ever sell the hids?

 

[shark tales]

The 13 hid lights?

 

[LTX]

The 12s

 

[shark tales]

No 12s are back on the car 13s are for sale

 

[LTX]

Sob.. if you can't figure it out.. I doubt I can.

 

[shark tales]

I can figure it out. I just don't want to cut into a brand new harness and a set of 1200 lights

 

[stevenstarke]

How much are you selling the lights for?

PM me

 

[shark tales]

They were sold on eBay. Sprry

HID question. I just put a set of '12 projectors on my '12. I used the same 3 wires the halogen plug had then added two power circuits for the remaining wire. Low beams are great, high beams just flash for a split second then turn off. I tried to reprogram the GEM module with a factory HID vin, but it wasn't playing nice today.

Is that the difference? The SJB/ GEM only outputs 12V to the shutters momentarily to activate high beams, versus continuous for a halogen lamp setup?

 

[shark tales]

funny you mention that my High beams on my 12 headlights do this on my 08 too. i changed the fuse but still not working

The lights on ebay seem to be going for around 250 now with broken tabs.. I'm tempted to buy a set and try this. How hard do you think the job is? My 2011 GT doesn't have factory HID's.. but stock Halogens.. which is why I wanted to upgrade to the 2013's.. :[

 

[shark tales]

From 2012 hid to 13 hid it needed a new harness. We abandoned the project. It can be done but it wasn't worth to us

 

[AssassinGT]

Do you think it's possible for someone like me who is not so electrically inclined? I'd def have to pay someone to do it for me.. lol I'd have no clue how to do it myself.
