Re: HID brands

Well, if you want a real nice brand then go with Phillips because they make some of the best products out there for lighting (as depicted by their high $$). As stated by me in a different post, I have an ebay special HID kit (12000K) and have had absolutely no problems (the ballasts are a little loud, but I found some ways to manage that). Not sure if the guy I bought mine from still sells, but they were straight up from Japan (so you know they are good..lol). I think I paid like 180 plus shipping for mine, and like I said, no problems at all with over a year and a half of using them. If you buy an off brand they will probably not emit the light color/temp that they say they will (they will probably not be truly 12000K...mine look a little more like 10000K, but hey who the fuck cares). And in the long run a real name brand might last a little longer. It's all up to you, just make sure you get a kit that has the ballast and igniter all in one, I have heard people have problems with the kits that have a separate igniter and ballast.

Yeah, if you dont get the bi-xenon ones then you will not have highs...but who cares, you really dont need high beams with the HID's...or you can get some projectors that have split bulbs and then you can use your HID's for either or both of the bulbs...mine are wired so that my highs (Hid's) and my lows (regular halogens) are on at the same time...i piss people off greatly and love it

Re: HID brands

the halo runs off it's own light source, so make sure you get one that is LED powered otherwise it will look very yellow (like mine...haha)

Re: HID brands

headlights are plug and play, and there are 2 wires coming out of each set for the halos. Just run them to your parking lights.
