lol yea pics tonight.

adn a DIY seriously if you cant figure out a plug and play kit you seriously need to stop buying sftermarket for your car. Its literally 2 plugs.

2 out of the ballast

1 goes into the bulb
1 goes into the socket for the old bulb.

then mount ballast and enjoy HID brightness.

YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr

(i have to take 1 day off of going to the bars and watching, i have NO voice left, lol) but tomorrow its ON!!! if we go up 3-0 tonight that is.


ok and here are pics.










And now my honest review.

Install was literally 5 minutes and was a no brainer with them, the color for an 8000k kit is suprisingly a nice white hue. I do have alot of glare so i know i have to reaim them down some because im gonna be pissing people off I know,

Now the quality aspect, the kit is well packaged but one issue im having is sometimes the HIDs dont always fire up right away, it takes a lil playing with the headlight switch a couple times to get em ok. I talked to my sponsor and he said his did the same for the first couple days and now he doesnt have that problem anymore. So hopefully within 2 days i can repost and say that problem is gone. If it doesnt then me and my sponsor are going to have some good words about it. Brightness, for a supposed blue kit they are very bright and give off a good amount. They actually have the same color and the new CL-S has.

What all do you need to get an HID kit like that into a CL?

I'm familiar with the kit's for Civic's. You have take a set of projector housings and then retro-fit all the components from a car that already has HID's like an S2000, Maxima, BMW, Lexus etc... The price depends on how much you pay for the headlights that already have HID's, but you're usually looking at like $500 - $800.

Try to get a pic of them shining against a wall or garage door. Looks good though, I like the color.
