HID lights

[hXc drummer23]

I got my HID's off of Ebay for $70 shipped. It was a pretty good deal. I had to do some modding to the ballasts to get it to fit right, but they still work. I did Hid's in the stock housing and the glare is terrible with them. I wouldnt be surprised if people got pissed off at me because of them. I know they blind people because my friend did 6000k bulbs in his car and it blinded the crap out of me.

If I were you I'd change them back. Seriously..what if you actually cause injury to somebody? If you're not concerned about that [insert lecture here] then consider that if the person who gets ticked off happens to be an on-duty LEO you could be in for an unpleasant experience.

I installed 6K HIDs in my Scion xB and it too took a little work to install but it's done the right way and does not blind people to death. But it was much more than $70. I put a fused wire harness with two relays so the power draws directly from the battery. It has four ballest, two true hi/low beam HID bulbs. The headlights has the cover over the bulbs. So far no one has yet to flash me. After installing HIDs, I will never go back to standard halogens.

Actually, they were 10000k bulbs. I just found out yesterday that he changed them to 10000k. But nobody has flashed me yet about my headlight.

how does he even see with 10,000k bulbs? Let's hope it doesn't rain often where he lives. I would think he's better off with his stock halogens.

I have Projector Headlights with 6K headlights, and 6k HID fogs.........

That is the proper way to upgrade to HID. Replace the halogen housings with Projector headlights

I also have some Sylvania Xenarc remote control HID fogs, I had them for 2 years but still have not installed them. I hate crawling under a car to install lights.

Ive got 3 sets of HIDs on my truck- Ive been through about 6 different sets over the years. My best advice is to buy the cheap $75 ones on ebay, but make sure they come with a 1 year warranty. Ive had a few bulbs go out but I just send them back and get new ones under warranty, no prob.

The highs/lows are 8000K and the fogs are 12K
