This guy at my work is getting me hid kit and installing it tommorow for $350.00 total...He said it was the EUROLITE kit. Anyone know anything about it? Good kit? I heard its bright as hell...Will HID's drain more battery then halogen?

 

eurolite hyperwhites burn out hella fast. Thats all I know. HIDs actually take less power than hallogen.

 

my advice to you dog,

buy those things at a store
where u can bring it back
if u run into problems.

trust me on this one
or ur gonna lose money

if one ballast goes out
or something, u r gonna be pissed!

and then u r gonna take it to your friend again,
bullshit

 

hey roddx
that a nice cl dog,

what is the power of the hid kit
6k 8k etc....

hey u should get a wing west lip

i got the same car u got
thats the look i want

 

thankz...not sure of the power...

 

Hyper whites and REAL HIDs are completely different. HIDs should outlast your car and they use 35 watt bulbs so they pull far less power than standard halogens. They have the ballast to ignite the bulbs but it is only a short 10,000 volt burst (or something around there).

The Kelvin temp is actually the color not the power and if its over 7k i wouldnt get them unless you really want color as opposed to usable light output. I wish i had 6k or 5300 Good luck and post pics

 

i think it is 8k im doing it tommorow night soo ill let you know.. hopefully it will be nice

 

they are going to be really colorful and lack output

 

there gonna look awesome tho,

 

Still more light output then any halogen i can imagine?

 

I got my hids a couple of months ago. I had my friend install them for me. After he installed, I realized how easy they are to install. They are a piece of cake, see if you can get a better deal if you install them yourself.

 

Me and r0d got em together and they fuckin look tite as hell... i need to change my other hyperwhite bulbs to a ligher color because they dont match. But 8k is the shit. I dont care if anyone says they lack output, we can see clear as day we'll post some pix of both cars soon...

-shawn

 

Ok...school me in this HID coversion.

Are these kits the entire headlight assembly, or are they just the guts and you retain the lens? Are they made for specific cars or do you get them for the Accord and what-not? Are there crap brands and quality brands of HID's?

 

HID kits are basically the two ballasts, two bulbs, and wiring harnesses. You leave your light housing alone. If you are buying a complete kit that is 9006 for us 1st gens, then you don't need to do any modifications to the housing mount. Basically plug and play with a little installing.

Yes there are a whole lot of 'crap' brands as far as HID's. The ballasts and bulbs both have their share of good and bad ones. If you are really worried about that tho, and are seriously considering HIDs, then stick with bigger brands like osram sylvania and philips.

 

I've spent alot of money on my car...The 350.00 i spent on HID's is far by the best mod soo far. It is ridiculous driving at night. When I turn those babies on they turn this crazy purple makes the road look sooo nice. I recommend everyone on this board to get hid's me and jo0p-cl look soo sweet at night, will take some pics soon!!
