Many Chevrolet Equinox models come standard with Projector Headlights and Projector Fog Lights which makes them the perfect candidate for an HID kit. Projector Headlights will provide you with a concentrated beam pattern and a sharp, defined cut off.

- shine up to 90% more light on the street*

- have an up to 35 m longer beam*

- put out up to 10% whiter light*

- up to 50% longer service life (compared to first generation Nightbreaker)

Mahalo for sharing!

The 2010+ Equinox does require an additional trick to set up an HID kit. It’s very simple to do and we provide everything you need to do the install. Contact us at 877-522-2701 to get more info!

Look at how sharp and defined that cut off is! All of our HID kits use laser aligned bulbs which means your stock beam pattern will be replicated.

A lot of people are also upgrading their high beam bulbs with Osram Nightbreaker Plus halogen bulbs – these bulbs are up to 90% brighter than stock and the quality is second to none! To upgrade these on your Equinox you will need Osram Nightbreaker Plus 9005 automotive bulbs

Here is a great DIY for a Lexus GX470, a customer from the Club Lexus forums sent us the following step by step on how to properly install an HID kit in the GX470′s H3 fog lights.

An alternate method, for  installation of the 4300K Volt HID Kit, H3 fog lamps on the Lexus GX 470.

This installation will take some technical skills and a little patience. This is on the drivers side, looking upward. Remove the electrical connector to the fog light. The green wire on the factory harness is the hot wire.  Push in on the tab hard (red arrow) and wiggle and pull downward. Remove the retaining bolt with a 10 mm wrench/ socket. Push the fog light housing forward to remove.

This picture shows the fog light housings and the assembled “Volt” harnesses for reference. The wires will need disconnected for the installation.

Twist and unlock the cover/ door.

Connect the black/ ground wire from the Xenon harness into the connector on the cap/ door (where the white factor wire coming from the center of the bulb used to go).

Disconnect the gray wire from the base of the light socket and connect this wire to the white wire on the Xenon harness.  I trimmed the flat tab connector on the Xenon white harness wire, because it is too wide. I trimmed it down to 3/16 wide. It now fits into the hot gray factory wire connector, which is still attached on the cover/ door. I put a small piece of electrical tape around the part of the tab that sticks out.

Note the Lexus factory hot wire is green on the outside of the fog light housing and gray on the inside of the cover.  No soldering or alteration is needed other than trimming the flat tab mentioned above.

Now comes the technical and patience part. This is the bottom of the drivers side fog light housing. On the top of this surface, I marked the center or centerline of the cover opening on the end. I marked it on top of the fog light housing with a grease pencil. I went to the right, or center of the car, 1/4 of an inch. From the back of the housing, going forward, I made another mark 3/4 of an inch. This is the center for the one inch hole to be drilled.

This is a fairly soft, ABS plastic housing. I used a one inch hole saw, with the center bit, barely sticking out from the hole saw. I didn’t want to damage anything on the inner housing.

I drilled mostly through and finished the rest of the hole with a razor knife.  I de burred the hole on the inside and out, with that same razor knife.

I unplugged the three wires from the relay and ballast, so I could pass the light bulb harness,  through the end cover opening and up and through the new one inch hole. The double connector has a removable plastic wire retainer (white dots). I removed that plastic piece by gently pulling outward on one side (white arrow).   It makes it is easier to pass this larger connector through the one inch hole. I inserted this larger double wire through the hole first. It will go through the hole, by slightly tilting it in the hole. Then I inserted the two single wires through the hole.

Now for the rubber grommet. Using my fingers in the back of the housing opening, I pushed one side of the larger flat portion of the grommet up and over the inner fog light housing, toward the new hole. Once you get the outer edge of the grommet over the inner housing, you can pull the grommet through the hole and lock it into position.

Next install the bulb under the hold down wire retainer in the bulb socket. You have to turn the bulb around and insert it into the socket. If you need a little more wire, to turn the bulb around, you can gently pull some extra wire through the grommet. Orientate the bulb, so that the retainer wire will go around the new bulb base. The bulb base is oval.  Pull some of the excess wire for the light bulb, back through the grommet. Check the two connections again in the cover before inserting and locking the cover.

Connect the rest of the fog light harness (ballast and relay wiring). It may be easier to lay under the car and reach through the fog light opening and grab the wires when re installing the fog light. If you gently bend down the wires, the fog light will slip into the opening. I held tension on the wires, while pushing the fog light into the housing.

For some reason, there is more room in the front bumper,  above the passenger fog light housing, than the drivers side. Once both fog lights are pushed all the way in and secured with the factory bolt, the grommet and wires clear any obstructions in the bumper.

Connect the Lexus factory harness to the rear original location in the rear cover/ door.  Test the lights before securing the ballast, relay, and wires.

Note’s

It may be easier to connect the entire harness to the fog light before installing the fog light back in the bumper.  You can’t really get two hands into the opening behind the bumper later.

If you feel on the bumper, above the fog light, there is a large flat surface on top of the fog light housing portion of the bumper. Clean off that surface and attached the ballast to the top with the  double sided tape that came with the kit.  There is enough flat surface on the top, to also connect the relay portion of the harness, with double sided tape.
