Talking Whitch Hid Should I Look For?

I Have Been Seeing A Lot Of People Get The Hid Kits For Their Cars. Now My Question Is What Is A Good Brand To Go With, And Having Said That What Would Be A Reasonable Price To Get One? I Don't Know Much About These Kit, Wasn't Really Interested, But Starting See Alot Out There. If You Guy Could Give Me A Lession On These Kits, It Would Be Much Help.

well u could always try the kits that xenith sells...the techone kits...i hear they are nice and good for stock reflector housings...but with any halogen housing HID's will create A LOT of glare...so if u do go with techone than the headlights really really low...for H4 bi-xenon setups from techone are 380 shipped and the regular single beam in most the sizes are 250 shipped...retrofits cost around 500-600 for a lower one and up to a 1000 for a really good one...u can also get a catz HID kit which gearbox will vouch for but those are expensive and you would be better off gettin a retro for that price...infinite has a lot of tips on HID's too

I HAD HEARD THAT IF YOU USE THE STOCK HOUSING YOU'LL GET GLARE.

caps lock, please.

retrofit means you buy projectors that came standard on another car, cutting your original headlights, and mounting the projectors into your headlights. obviously these projectors should be HID projectors, otherwise you just wasted a **** load of money.

once again caps and if u get a kit than u use ur stock harness as long as the ballasts u get are meant for ur bulb size...and the socket on ur headlights should be stock for plug and play kits if u get the bulb size...also stock halogen reflector housings create a lot of glare in headlights so the road signs will reflect light, but since HID's are much brighter than halogens it makes a lot more glare so it will blind other drivers

I have HID from www.ultrabrightlights.com in fact my car is on their banner, the one to the left with the FMIC..

I have never had a problem with them, they dont blind people and they look killer.



8000K McCulloch HID with the extra harness that draws the initial surge to power the ballasts from the battery directly instead of through the stock wiring harness.
