5000K HID conversion kit?

My driver side headlight has moisture in it and has put out the bulb. instead of buying oem bulbs to replace, Ive decided to upgrade to HID. Do the ones at this link look like a good reliable set or should I spend my money elsewhere? thanks.

we already have HID low beam system, you just need the correct bulbs for it
BUT
with moisture inside housing you will also have water on the ballast and capacitor area- causing their failure as well

get an entire new hid kit, new 5000K (kelvin color scale) bulbs, ballast, connector wire etc for both sides,,get the relay kit too for awesome direct batt power to lights!
all together will run under 100 bucks!! ck our sponsor hidextra.com
look online for coupon codes too

you need to reseal the housing lens, see diy for options
the new parts are waterproof- except the bulb~

so get http://hidextra.com/ for 59.99. includes 2 hid bulbs, and 2 ballasts, get http://www.hidextra.com/hid-relay-ha...9fad3ff0c33053 for 16.00 (only need to buy one total?) and get http://www.hidextra.com/d2r-d2s-conn...wire-pair--345 for 15 for pair. thats all i need?

no, just the kit ---it includes the connector wires, ballast and bulbs- everything you need to make it work for BOTH sides of the car

ONE relay kit is a good idea for preventing issues, and better power source for lights-

which bulb base you need depends on car year, ck owner manual or car specs online
dont expect them to know..
I call their 800 for best service and order processing that results in same or next day ship from the northern Ca location

you will need to cut a small groove in plastic of housing for new, larger connector wire to clear thru the old fitting, a file works well, dremel etc awesome

DO use zip ties to hold the ballast to the frame rail!! tape does NOT HOLD,
slip the rest of the wiring under the housing as you slide it back into place

ck online for hidexta.com+ coupons for 10% off codes
