Cars with H.I.D.'s at night!

Everytime I drive at night I notice that when I see a car coming up behind me with these things I get envious! Because to me H.I.D's are make the car look clean! For example tonight I saw this car coming up behind me and passed me up, ended up being an RX-8 in gunmetal, Damn I want one! This makes me want to trade in my civic for a vehicle that comes with these as an option or stock! Can you guy's name any cars that have H.I.D.'s stock or as an option. I'm looking to spend up to $400/5 years! No Leases! Pics would be nice please! I would appreciate the help!

Whenever I see a Z, the lights always look like they're aimed too high. The color is nice tho. I saw a bmw around here with some blue ones. Must've swapped out the stock bulbs.

Yea I have had that complaint that they are aimed to high.. However I think they don't beam the light out enough on the road for my liking so i wish they were higher.

The best looking (and seem to be the best performing) HID's are on S2000's I think.

The best HIDs out there are on the new Maxima, Audi, exotics (ferrari, lambo, aston martin, ect.)

If you saw my car youd think its one of them ^_^

Anyways, If you want HIDs contact me.

If you want what I have (a retrofit), I' am able to make you one... If you want an aftermarket kit, I can get you one.

The only reason people like them is cause of the "twinkle" effect... Everyother car has whats known as a "flicker". The S2000 has the right suspension to give it a "twinkle".

Your H.I.D.'s are nice Impulse, but i don't want to do any more mods to my car! Just finish paying it off or most and trade it in for a car with them! Thanks guy's!

I think the Mazda 3 is the cheapest car that you can get HID with.
