dont know of anyone who makes h3 HID kits yet... then again i havent been keeping close track... HID kits for your headlights will run you from $600-1100 depending on the brand and how much you get ripped off lol... if they make a kit for our fogs it'll run you the same price

ok.... you were referring to regular bulbs that say they "look like" HID/Xenon.... there's tons of those... PIAA and Razo are the best in my opinion.. should run you $70 to $100 for a set
now.... HID 101... HID/Xenon... the REAL DEAL is a bulb with GAS in it (Xenon gas) which is sparked/ignited to produce a high intensity discharge (HID) light.. these systems are VERY expensive and go for typically $600-1000 or more for a set of two with all the needed hardware.... check out this page... http://www.genxco.com/hid.htm the ones they sell start at $950 for a set... take a look

lol..
lemme guess, it said HID really big on it, but on top or next to the letters HID it had some Japanese characters on it which you couldnt read... they translate to "looks like" put the two together and it reads... "looks like we can sell these to silly Americans and have them think they are" HID. please look at the link i posted, there's pictures of HID lighting kits... you'll see the differences. trust me for $20 you didnt get anything even close to HID Last edited by b-b00gie; 05-17-2001 at 07:30 AM.

yeh, what you paid is just bluish looking bulbs and 20bucks doesnt get you Piaas, so look for them to either go out in a few months or (if u got some really bright ones) they'll eat out your harness soon....because your harness can only handle 60/55 wattage bulbs..but most aftermarket bulbs uses 80watt or more and most of the time, your connector will melt and u would need to get a new ones. why do i know all these? cuz it happened to me! hehe...one advise, spend a little more to get the Piaa bulbs, they are all 60/55 but a lot brighter than most bulbs and it'll last you a long time

yep...you get what you pay for, plus aftermarket replacement bulbs like that aren't as bright as your stock bulbs either, cause your actually using a bulb thats tinted blue to get that whitish color. Just think of it as window tint on your car, it doesn't let light in as good as a clear window would. "Real" Xenon Hid bulbs are clear and have their own generator-dealy-bobber to power it. plus the cheapest I've seen these at is somewhere around 6 bills. But I like my aftermarket bulbs, I have some Hyper Industries Super Whites, I've had them since Nov. 2000, with no problems...yet...I'm just waiting for these to blow though haha cause I know they will. But after these bulbs blow, I'm gonna try that new Catz Zeta kit. Kinda close to HID but not really. But a lot brighter than stock...it has it's own generator-dealy-bobber and a matching H4 bulb...
check it out... www.fet-usa.com/shownews1.asp?newsid=28 i think i can get for around $250 or so...:flash:

well if they're 80W you'll have problems eventually... you should check your wiring harness (connector to bulb) make sure its not starting to melt.. cause theres no way for you to tell until the day that it melts so far that the wires touch and short out
