Im debating either to get the 35w or the 55w 3000k. what do you guys think? I just want the JDM look. Does anyone have either? whats the pros and con? Would the 55w to much for the housing to over heat and melt it? Did anyone have that problem?

Thanks

Farage

55w is very bright. our stock hid's are 35w and 55w fogs would block out the low beams. stick with 35w.

my friend got 55w fogs on his maxima recently and he regrets it. it makes the low beams look very weak. i actually just installed a 35w digital slim kit on my tsx. heres a pic:

Thanks bro, your ride is very clean and your Fog HID does not over power Low Beam HID, yea you just convince me to get the 35w, Thanks bro!

Farage

no prob! thanks.

d_zone21

did you also change the high beam light bulb? did it affect your day running lights? How do they look?

Farage

yea i put nokya yellow bulbs in there. the visibility is the same id say.

What about using 55W Low beam and 35W Fog?

Farage

55w hids inside a projector is the ultimate setup. but changing the oem ballasts and igniters is a hassle. not worth it imo.

Dramirez112

Thanks bro... I've always prefered 6000k but I might go with the 4300K cause the pic you posted above speaks for itself.

What's the difference between a slim kit and a regular kit? I tried to google it, but the results are all sale sites..

its rayden

the ballast on the slim kit is slimmer

Farage, How long have you had these on? Any problems so far?

Farage

its only been about 3 months.. but i have been using the bulbs that come with this kit (supervision) in my civic, hooked up to a mcculloch hid kit for about a year with no problems. the supervision bulbs are like 10-20 bucks a pair so if one does fail, its very cheap to replace.

First off, I just want to thank Farage for starting this thread and helping us out. Definitely a good choice and great easy/medium mod to do to our cars.

The following is my progress. (FYI, I also replaced the foglight housing cause it cracked while driving on the BQE, little rocks on the ground.)

nice!!!! enjoy bro.

live2hit01

looks great dramirez, did you also replace the low-beams? what color did you go with?

Dramirez112

Thanks Farage and live2hit01,

The low-beams are stock. The HIDs made the iPhone camera use a brighter lighting mode, so it made the headlights look lighter in the "after" pic than the "before" pic.

I got the same exact HID kit as Farage.

35W 4300k HID Slim Kit. Bulb H11

FYI, the ebay seller is definitely one of the best. They shipped it out within 3 hours after placing the order. They also replied to all my questions within a 2 hour period (Work Hours). Shipping took 2 business days.

I was interested in seeing pics, since I know what bulbs to get. Didn't see any pics in the attached thread (unless I missed them).

Alee:)

+1! you didn't miss any pictures, i didn't see them either.

Farage

you want pictures of what? the bulbs or how to change them?

the drl's are very easy to change. just pop the hood, twist them out and plug in the new ones.

hondu

No, nighttime pictures of what different bulbs will look like when lit. For example, brighter or whiter bulbs.

Farage

oh.. well i have nokya yellow bulbs. they are of the same brightness as the stock bulbs. i like the yellow on white look.

sky82

well since were already off topic =P here is a link that you guys might like for teh DRL w/ led looks pretty sweet!

sky82
