I have a 2003 Acura Tl, and i just ordered a D2R 8000K hid kit. Once i recieved my kit, the guy who i bought it from said I might need an extra socket to install this kit. I was wondering if this extra socket is needed for the installation of my Hid Kit?

Thanks

Why did you have to purchase a Kit? All you had to was purchase just the bulbs, which would have been D2R

welcome to a-zine! you should have asked on here before buying that kit, but hey, it happens... just tell me you didnt pay too much for it though.

I purchase a kit, because i got a really good deal on it, i didnt pay that much for it.

But do you know if it will require a socket?

Thanks

The bulbs are just plug and play, I'm not sure what you mean by socket? Just take out the old bulbs and put the new ones in.

Ahh, i see. Well, our stock HID system uses a D2R bulb. With the kit you purchased, what kind of bulb does it come with? As long as you have a D2R bulb, then it should be plug and play with no modifications necessary. BTW, how much did you pay? Save your money and do a retro-fit with HID projectors, it'll be wayyy brighter than those 8000k kits....

my buddy's 6k or 7k hid kit...(sucks balls)


retro-fitted with S2000 Hid Projectors( look at the coverage compared to the PNP kit)


and my retro-fitted S2000 Projectors



ps- and it's only 4300K bulbs (stock)

when retrofitting a headlight, do you have to do the whole front bumper to acompany it, or just the ballast? or not even and just some bulb housing?

^^^ When retrofitting, you just do the headlights.

Okay Thanks, I got my kit for $175 including shipping, when i usually found a good brand of kit they usually cost around $300 and they are made in Germany.

How much do projecters usually go for?

Thanks

bulbs have been seen for sale on ebay for $75 a pair and full HID kits for $90 shipped.

I just purchased a 9006 kit for the fogs recently. I paid $300 for an HID kit 5 years ago. I suggest you shop around next time. good luck
