I Just Bought My Car A Christmas Present
 
I just bought and installed an early Christmas present for my winter beater. I got HIDs for it! Havent driven the car yet but they look nice when I turned them on. They are a cheap kind so I lost my high beams but who cares!

Did any of you guys buy your car a Christmas prestent?

lol! Cheap HID kits on a beater is funnier though.

Lets see some pics! You're not cool unless your lights are so blue you look like you're an emergency vehicle!

It wasn't for xmas but I put HID's in my '99 GSX. Looks awesome and have had numerous compliments. I went with 8k bulbs. Glad I didn't go with 10k. Didn't want any more reason to be pulled over. Got them off ebay. Been working like a top.

My car is spoiled enough as it is. Every time it cries and whines i end up spending money on it.

I dont remember what they are, either 6000s or 8000s. And what I ment by cheap kit was its not the ones that have the high beam and low bean. and they were like $150 on ebay new but I got them 3rd hand.

Looking good!

I actually heard that the school bus accident that happened today and is all over the news, was caused by HID glare. :(

^^^^^I want parent who will buy me safety equipment!!!

My scare crow of a dsm is going to get a new brain!!

Just waiting for it in the mail

To be fair though it was more of a end of a school year present for my car. It deserves it after it has driven me back and forth.

For Christmas it is going to get a new stereo!!

There was another tread up about HID and I thought it wasn't a bid deal. however a Scion Xb one night pulled up behind my car. It was "customized" with HID headlights. Now I see why it is a big deal. I wanted to bitch the person out or something. I had to pull over and let him pass.

if you aim them right there is no problem with them. People just put them in and dont care were they are pointed

I disagree, I have never seen a drop in HID kit that didnt have rediculous amounts of glare

Agreed.. i went thru an entire alignment with mine. When I put them in, they were way off. If anything, I errored a little bit and have them pointing just a hair down more than they shoud be. Mine was also around that $150+shipping mark. Ballasts appear to be good quality. I just have my low beams done. I would like to do either the high beams now or maybe just do the factory fogs.

I could care less if someone posts something about me "calling me out" They can suck a big cock. I like them and I can actually see now(I couldnt see anything with the normal headlights)

ZOMG, I am blind and you are going to cause global warming by taking away from the night time! :lol: Looks good, they are so cheap now that I may have to get some!

Re: I Just Bought My Car A Christmas Present
 
most HID's are behind a projector and have the top part of the beam cut off..that's why when they are stock, you don't get the glare you see from aftermarket kits in stock headlights..That said, I am waiting on my HID bulbs to finish my kit for the talon..and black housing headlights once I find some.
