k guys bare with me. hopefully this isn't already a thread but looking forward to replace the stock hids for aftermarket hids most likely an 8000 k output. u fellas have any recommendations as far as brand, quality, price wise etc... pics of course are always appreciated. also any do's and don'ts are appreciated

 

D2S Bulbs
About $80-$120

 

d2s bulbs? now is that the brand or the fittment

 

Check the group buy forum, excelerate has some kaixens for $109, i believe there is also a thread.

Above thread also has some cheap HID bulbs for $40 shipped.... no reviews on them just yet. I believe they are xtec bulbs.

 

That is the fitment for our cars.

 

so go with kaixens. i also been reading the threads, alot of people are also going with phillips. either brand i choose, do they have 8000 k ones. don't wanna go 6000 k.

 

Kaixen has a 8500k not a 8000k. Which is a pretty deep blue. If you didn't know the higher the kelvin you go up the less light output it puts out.

 

just got off the excelerate website, cant seem to find the kaixen bulbs. not sure if im under the right category or what. didnt even find the brand under the heading BRANDS

You can follow the pricing and payment info in the first post.

 

i just read the showthread on on hid's excelerate left. so basically send a check for 109.00, specify which ones i want, and just wait for them. i live in virginia, wouldn't know how long it would take to get here would you. this may sound dumb but how will you know where to ship it, or will you be running the address off the personal check.

 

Padthai, he also accepts pay pal payments of $109 total, he isn't charging any extra paypal fees.

 

ok guys what's your guys recommend 600k or 8000k?

 

I say 6000k..I perfer that white color more than the blue-ish color..but its ultimately ur deciscion..Good luck!

 

5000k is nearly stock color- just a hint more blue in them,
6000k is way more blue- you lose some white directly in front of the car, but pick up long- range vision on road markings-signs and the white stripes on semi trucks jump out as blue from a mile+ away!!
Anything higher in Kelvin color scale and you lose too much actual visabilty on the road with the lights, and risk attracting unwanted attention from the Law about your `overly bright headlights`- even thought they are not brighter they look funky purple so they must be illegal!!!
