Xtec HID Thread: So.. I guess im all set with lights? (pics inside)

Yea, So, I guess im really done with all the lights. I was planning on doing the LED conversion to the 04 tails but, decided not to (too many problems and too think of it, its just a tail light).

I got my Xtec HID's in the mail, 5000k H11 (OEM Foglights). Whats weird is that the light is pure white... There really is no hint of blue (im guessing its cause of the foglight). The pictures that look blue is when the fogs have just been turned on ("warm up"), The pictures with them being white have been on. Anyways, Here are the pics..















Cool Random Shot


What do you guys think?

If you recieved a kit, instead of making a lot of threads, I guess we can post in here? Unless you got other stuff to show?

Also, If you are interested in a Kit or want some info, PM me

- Jay

HID Kits in general are illegal... Mostley because of Glare and Color

With these kits however there is hardly any glare, and of course, I wouldnt sell you anything higher than 6000k (unless you want 7-8k for fogs). So, Its illegal/ Looks OEM

nice pics, but it does seem like there is a touch of blue in those lights. As soon I install mine and get my comp up and running, i'll take pics of the 4,500k "plasma white" as it says on the box .

I sooo would do that.. but seems to cost too much spending money on two HID kits. For your retro, are you runnin E55 bi-xenons? I wanted to do a retro for the longest time, but it costs too damn much. i cant justify spending over $600 for lighting.

Headlights/Projectors = OEM HID
Foglight = XTec Aftermarket HID

So, I have 2 kits, 4 ballasts, Haha.

Just let me know when you want to pick them up, or when you want me to install them for you.

For the retrofit i have the H7 Valeo (Audi A4/Modena)

Well, 600$ really isnt that much compared to the factory "upgrade" of what? $1000? I wont be able to drive a car that has halogens... for some reason i just cant see.

Krumz, I sent you a PM
