envoy hid crushed

tyson_cbr · 12-02-2008, 03:33 AM

So i was on my way home in my recently bought 99 envoy, i smoked a deer and my pass side headlight is gone, the ballast i guess is all smashed to shit. i have no idea how to replace this or where to get a new one. I have all the wiring bulbs etc from a s10 i was thinking maybe i could just use that harness and s10 headlights for awhile. . . any suggestions?

tyson_cbr · 12-02-2008, 03:52 AM

okay so i guess it might have been the ignitor thats smashed whatever it is that the bulb goes in. replacement parts are very expensive and some other threads say i can go with the 9005 kit and just follow my harness to where i can plug in the aftermarket kit, anyone know about this?

***Dragginbody*** · 12-02-2008, 04:27 AM

yea you can swap back to sonoma or s10 lights easy.

if you want to sell or trade the rest of your good envoy parts let me know.

tyson_cbr · 12-02-2008, 05:05 AM

okay might do that but I might wanna switch back eventually. just need to not get pulled over for now. any details on how easy it is LOL? I just got an iPod touch its so sweet I'm using the forum on it hahaha

tyson_cbr · 12-02-2008, 05:06 AM

might consider some trades depends on what ya got and what ya want. let me know

tyson_cbr · 12-02-2008, 05:08 AM

hey I'll email you tommorow kris. but if anyone knows exactly what it takes to swap in the non hid stuff let me know

scrubz · 12-02-2008, 09:40 AM

um, I have a passenger side envoy light for sale. With the HID bulb, but no others. Oh yeah it works

tyson_cbr · 12-02-2008, 02:46 PM

yeah I done have much money at the moment so how much? and my problem isn't just the bulb, the box the bulb comes out of is mangled too.

scrubz · 12-02-2008, 11:03 PM

I've got the ballast (that's your box). $300.00 to you

Wrkn prgs · 12-02-2008, 11:05 PM

Sounds reasonable.

scrubz · 12-02-2008, 11:16 PM

I was hopin, I weren't really sure on what to price. I think I've seen sets go for around $600 or so on ebay, I didn't wanna try to get over on anybody, especially forum members

Zeeke98 · 12-02-2008, 11:21 PM

Wow...a set of headlights with ballasts on ebay went for just shy of $300 Sunday. I didn't get my expense check in time so I couldn't go that high.

scrubz · 12-02-2008, 11:23 PM

wow, maybe I should rethink my pricing then.....

tyson_cbr · 12-03-2008, 12:51 AM

yeah i think im gonna say screw these really expensive headlights and hook up my other harness and run sonoma headlights.

basically just gotta unplug the whole ballast ignitor bulb and envoy light and remove them.

then get a set of sonoma lights and hook up the high and low beam bulbs along with the marker and corner lights.

cool thanks, do you know how far i will have to "dig" or how much stuff ill have to take apart, i figured besides the obvious (headlights grill etc) i might have to pull the bumper? i dont really know where exactly the wiring all goes to. . . a heads up would be cool so i dont have to freeze my balls off for to long

***Dragginbody*** · 12-03-2008, 05:52 AM

dont gotta pull the grille or the bumper off.

the factory plug that plugs into to ballast is the same plug that plugs into your low beam on a regular sonoma bulb

it should be pretty easy unless something was swapped or its a aftermarket hid setup

especially with the economy...yea, you should..might have to cut your losses...and just sell it for what someone says they'll give you, since i don't think the demand for a single headlight would be that high.

well except for maybe this one thread.

Zeeke98 · 12-03-2008, 10:04 AM

I dunno. The passenger light on ebay went for more than the drivers light. I'm guessing people tend to hit things on the passenger side more often and only needed the one light. I wanted the pair.

tyson_cbr · 12-03-2008, 04:57 PM

lol yea id buy it if it came with the box the bulb plugs into and it was A LOT cheaper lol. . .

oh and kris i followed the wire from the smashed bulb/box thing and what ever its hooked into seems like its mounted up in the bumper but maybe i can get to it from underneath. . . . havent had time to mess with it . . . .
