Acura Cl 3.0 HID Conversion

Hello All, just found you guys, have had Cl for about 2 years. I was just wondering if anyone knew where I can get a HID conversion kit, but none of those crappy one's like I see on ebay. I heard those just get too hot. So please any links would be very helpfull. Also, I don't want to pay 3 to 4 hundred dollars. Between 100 and 200$ would be great. Thks in advance.

Most of the kits are all the same... Just make sure its got PHILIPS ballasts, and dont get anything over 6-8k.

Take r0dxx's advice and you should be fine. What year/type/and color is your CL?
Also can you post pics of you and your car sugar?

I'll post some pics this weekend when I clean it. I'm to my ankles in snow and slush. Even though the salt gets to like white on rice, I still wash it once or sometimes twice a week. But my CL is basically stock, thinking of getting some rims this summer.

Don't forget! What year, type ( 2.x or 3.0 ), and color is your CL?


BTW - Sorry to hear that you have to wash your CL twice a weak, that
sucks! Do you have any particular rims in mind?

Naw, haven't thought of what rims exactly, but very interested in some Fast rims, model Virus. I've seen chrome one's on a black Cl, but I would get silver since I have a silver Cl, I don't think the chrome would look that good on mine.

Check them out, let me know what you think.

^ Chrome but you might want to try silver rims with a polished dish or lip.

Those wheels in silver would look nice on a silver CL. But like divine said, maybe a polished lip would look better. That companies wheels look pretty nice though.

Joe, this is the way I'm thinking about going as well, can you please post some pics or DIY's. I would really like to see what's involved. I would rather do projectors and ballasts, rather than HID's. Thanks.
