getting HIDs..

I'm getting one soon.(maybe tomorrow so that they can ship it out on Monday )

1. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

2. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36476

3. anything u guys recommand?

I just decided not to go w/ projectors since it's too much $$ and work, so, I'll get just 9006 HIDs. Is it worth getting hi/low hids together? or just get low?

Thanks

umm try go with something of a lower kelvin rating...since youre getting a kit, and its damn hard to get a kit in anything <6000k, just see if you can get one thats 6000k. Id be careful with buying an hid kit though, some people on here had their ballasts give out on them

I'd go with the 1st one being that the ballasts are hella, not generic one's that will blow up on you over time.

go witht eh first one if you must, you need to invest properly in HIDs and get projectors man

if i were to get one, get these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

those are hella gen 3 ballasts, they are the best next to my osram


but dont get anything more than 5000k cause you are asking ot get pulled over
