Im going to buy them. I want them now, but no one carries them locally. So. im here to ask. who did you buy them from, how much did you buy them for, how long did you have them for, cons? blah blah blah. I want a plug and play kit. Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, since im getting them, clearing up the headlights and blacking them out.

I picked up mine on ebay for 250. The seller has 100% positive feedback. There's tons of kit there and they're cheaper than any store. Have had them on for about a month. No problems yet. Great upgrade. I got a plug and play and it was simple to install. Hardest part was figuring out where to mount it. The brand was PROMAX (5000k).

Definately worth the money. They're much brighter than the shitty stock ones.

Good luck

i bought mine from nopionline a long long time ago about 2001, Back then the price was pretty high. I paid about $780. But man are the sweet as hell. they lasted about 3 years. Also i used the hell out of them, had them on all the time....

i love mine, they use all philips bulbs and ballasts. Ive had my 4300k kit from them for a year and a half. I would recommend them to anyone, it took longer than expected for them to arrive, but the product is top notch!

AlexMN

what color temp did you buy?
I am considering 4 or 5 K. Which is the best combination of light output and color?
I don't like it too blue.

CNDC

do ya got projectors? or is it all right without them?

blueCL

Get 4300K they are perfect.

Haha, thats terrible... HIDs should outlast the vehicle for the most part. My neighbor has a 99 TL with the bulbs from the factory still in it, car has 270kmi on it and they still work great (although they are getting rather pink-ish).

99% of HID "kits" are garbage... made from cheap parts and do not last. Besides the fact that you'll blind oncomming traffic and you'll never come close to an OEM HID projector or reflector setup.

If you want the HID color, stick with "blue" halogen bulbs... if you want HID performance go with a OEM HID projector retrofit.

I've tried about 4 different suppliers and KAIXEN is my 5th attempt and I couldn't be happier with their product. They are the best so far, hands down on: price, quality, durability, fitment, warranty, and even packaging. $305 shipped on a complete HID kit.

subbuzz

no projectors,beam is fine,don't really like the way they look on a cl,but a 9006 plug and play is fine on its own.my turn to be a whore...everyone should post pics of their hid's and info. i love hid's they kinda change your whole cars apperance.pics never can get the true look though..

That's my b4 pic damn tough crowd. I'm in the middle of cutting up my reflectors, but had to take a 2 week break, cuz I had surgery on my hand :shakehead More pics are coming, when I have more to show, right now, the work is half done, but they're comiing along NICELY

agranado

There's lots of glare when we install our HID's because our headlights were never meant to take that much light anywhere.. Blackhousing the headlights probably fix that though.

bigbea

I had the same question...They say that the 4300K are white with a yellowish hue and the 5000K are white with a blue hue. The yellow part scared me so I went with the 5000K. They look nice...i wouldn't really say they're blue. Definately crispy white.

bigbea

NOT TRUE...I had my chick take my car out and I drove in front of her. They don't blind you at all...all they do is look sexy. They really make the car look classy.

Better news, my car just passed emissions and inspection today, which I was waiting on to do my projectors, exhaust and suspension installs, so my progress can start rolling again! Projectors are comin along good, and getting my suspension install estimate on friday. Sorry to hijack, just clarifying for the s

i like lunchboxes hid's a lot. ive seen em in person and wow, i want em bad. and only 200 off ebay

ougeta

i had some HID's years back, they were 6500K i think, white with a hue of purple... man they were sick... everyone jocked my....

I have been looking to buy another pair of bulbs, but the whole setup is very cheap...i kind of want to buy the whole set again.

For me i love the purple look, i see some pics of hid with a retarded level of K, some like 9k-10k... but it seems as though the light output really takes a toll. so i thionk i might grab a pair of 6k.
any of you have any thought of the high K hid's?

subbuzz

i noticed the color temp goes by brand of hid.some kit's have a 10k(super blue).that others don't.

based on glare that pic was before blackhousings,and even then i've also drove behind/on the side of,and passed my car on the oppisite side road i don't get blinded,nor do i get highbeamed.the beam is straight,and no light "glares" anywhere than where it's suppose to.if i park next to a stock car with hid's(no projectors) my pattern/range/section of light is basically the same.but i give you that with projectors it is more functional due to the dispersal of the light (just don't like the way it looks).alot of my friendes got after market kit on the only one that blinds is my boy's civic that he ghetto installed and shines in the trees.

krazy99cl

"everyone jocked my...." huh? lol

higher the K the more color but loss of output.

4300k-5500k is good, maybe 6000k

anything higher is :ghey:

krazy99cl

with PNP kits in a halogen reflector...theres hotspots and the light is not evenly spread out on the ground....

ougeta

what do you do to get rid of the hotspots, b/c our cars have the relector right?

ougeta

off of what kind car did you get your retro-fit projectors from... you don't have to stick with the 9006 style bulb do you?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Hell no, no 9006 bulb. I got Audi A6 projectors with d2s bulbs, and hella gen 3 ballasts

Recnelis

ebay is called egay for a reason

i honestly would never buy from ebay, any moron can sell on ebay, which is why i go for established shops online with credible shopping carts and legit contact info

SAY NO TO EGAY

ougeta

do you have pics of the install, was it hard? Also, roughly how much did it cost you? thanks
