You get what you pay for

 

Looks OK, but you get what you pay for...especially on the Bay.

 

I'd shop around a little more if I were you.

 

things to keep in mind when shopping for HID's.

cheap HID's will have problems. i've heard bulbs going out quickly, (which indicates a ballast issue most of the time) but really its the ballasts that suck balls.

if u do get ANY hid kit, make sure to atleast have some kind of warranty.

Most reputable places offer 2year warranties. those are usually fine.

I personally got a lifetime warranty for my HID's. They are made by OTTO. i have already had a ballast fail, and a bad a bulb (ballast messed it up while Failing). The place i got it from replaced both for free. since then no problems.

I have also heard of ppl not having any problems with cheap HID kits. it happens.

 

U want quality, look here, support the site

post pics of your car with the unknowns.

 

I have the same exact brand, same exact thing happened to me w/my CL. After that initial hiccup it was fine though. At 1 point my passenger side was flickering, but i hadn't tightened a connection.

 

3k OTTO HID's bought from a fellow member/vendor @ .com

 

i meant op's konig unknowns.

 

my bad lol

 

alright thanks everyone i didnt buy them and instead bought some much need hood struts and a drivers side headlight. i would post a few pics but im not sure how to post them on threads

 

I bought a 9006 6000k kit from that seller today....it has a one year warranty directly through them, and for under 90 shipped, you can't beat it. I had a cheapass Eagleeye 7000k kit on my old accord that lasted over 2 years before I sold it. I'm just gonna pimp these for the winter season and resell em because I wasn't able to start on my retro due to the shitty weather even though I have all the parts

 

At least I'm not the only one who bought new hood struts

 

i did too!

 

yeah let me know how they are... i might still get them if they come out nice

 

true HIDS are projectors

but lets not get me started on this

 

lol............if you know what HID stands for, then you know it doesnt stand for projectors.

 

will do, their shipping is lightning quick and it should be here and installed on thursday


like I said, I'm completely the anti non-retrofit fanatic, but I already need a 9006 wire harness, so essentially after using this plug n' play kit over these freezing winter months and parting out the ballasts and bulbs 2 months from now I know I can break even or even make money on the transaction

 

yeah haha i kinda want to buy it right now but im holding off til u let me know lol.... quick question.... if i have my pics on my computer and not on a url how would i insert it on here? i know its probably a dumb question

upload the pics on there and place the url into the [img] [/img] tags

 

i just picked up one headlight from ebay for 35 + 15 shipping.
it's slowwwwly coming together.
got tsx projectors in march.
now i have one headlight.
and i have a great HID seller lined up, with a huge discount, and lifetime warranty
in due time my pretties.

 

yeah i wanted that headlight but it was the passengers side

 

haha true. The gas inside the bulb and the method of illumination (electric arc ignition) are what makes the headlight HID. Projectors are just one method. The 2nd gen Cl has HID headlights, but not projectors (dammit!)

never take a night picture...ever...again.

please and thank you.

 

haha yeah sorry just got bored last night heres two during the day

 

Wow, those pics are WAY better, always liked unknowns on a CL

 

thereeeee we gooo. haha looks good. try not getting so close up on the HU.

 

yeah i know im still working on my pic taking skills lol... i still want to lower the car with the eibachs whats the real diff with the pro kit and sportline kit oh and i found these hid kits on ebay as well anyone know if either would be good?

Eibach prokit is VERY conservative, sportline is pretty aggressive. With those tires you could rock a prokit, would still have some gap but if you want to lower the car, sportlines are a better choice

 

they are kumho asx 225/40/18 and well i guess the pro kit is a little more for comfort while the sport is more of a racing kit?

 

That's exactly correct, prokit is very close to stock, sport is a lot stiffer

 

is it ksport stiff? (note my ksports are 13/7!)

 

Yes ksports are by default a stiffer config, but you can get custom spring rates and adjustable dampers

 

/\ tahts annoying b/c when i was getting mine, we were told it wasn't possible. i wanted to get like 10/6. i think it would have been better for the legend weight balance.

 

It looks like I only have the single bulb option for my 03 MDX. How does that work? HID for low beam and OEM for High?

 

let me tell you that i buy hid kits from ebay all the time for my self and friends. the warranty is a bunch of crap !!!! one kit didnt bring the information on who to contact or location lol it brings a card to register but no shipping address !

2nd kit one of my bulbs and ballast wher damage so the guy says yeha ill change it. pay another 15 dollars for each item i wanna replace. (kit cost 60.00 shipped) 15x's 4= 60.00

so he was getting his money back for each item he claimed to have warranty.

 

Buy your kids from HIDExtra on this site. There is no reason to buy a kite anywhere else. They have insane customer service.
