Hella Micro DE Xenon HIDs install on Gen III

griff · Nov 1, 2014

I have these lights installed on Garault brackets on my 03. I am considering moving them over to my 14 ES, but don't know how they will fit. I currently have the ballasts installed in the 03 nose cone, which was a pretty easy install. I haven't taken much tupperware off the ES, so I don't know how much space I will have. I understand my current Garault brackets won't fit on the ES. Any insight on installing ballasts on the 14 would be appreciated.

I installed mine on my '13.

Believe it or not, its actually easier on the Gen III !

Their is more than enough room for the ballasts directly behind the little vents on each side of the nose cone. On the clutch side, so much so, that I had to jamb in some 2"x2" air conditioning foam to keep it from rattling around. The thottle side requires a bit of finagling to get in, but it goes easy enough. The only tupperware that needs to be removed for the install is the inner liner on both sides.

I bought a set of Gauralds brackets for the Gen III's. The seems to be a little thinner than the Gen 1 brackets. Between the weight of the Hella's and the weight of the LED's, mine bounce around furiously on rough pavement (which is all we have up here).
