Installation of Aftermarket Xenon Headlight Kit

Model: Honda Civic MK 6 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Xenon headlight kit

First, check the compatibility of the Xenon kit with the vehicle, ensure all components are present (two bulbs, two control units, and the wiring harness), and read the installation instructions carefully.
The first step is to connect the power supply of the wiring harness directly to the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity, and position the relay appropriately. Next, securely mount the control units near the two headlights (it is recommended to place them inside the edge of the wheel arches) and position the wiring to avoid interference with moving parts (fans, pulleys) or hot areas of the engine. Then, replace the original bulbs with those included in the kit, ensuring they are properly secured in the headlight reflector and connect the respective plugs to the control unit (these are mandatory male-female connections). Finally, connect the eyelet of the ground cable to the vehicle chassis (use an existing ground point - body fixing bolt - or drill a hole in the bodywork).
Then, perform a functionality check and adjust the beam orientation if necessary.
