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! |

Re: I Just Bought My Car A Christmas Present
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.

Re: I Just Bought My Car A Christmas Present
Looking good!
I actually heard that the school bus accident that happened today and is all over the news, was caused by HID glare.  |

Re: I Just Bought My Car A Christmas Present
^^^^^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.

Re: I Just Bought My Car A Christmas Present
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. |

Re: I Just Bought My Car A Christmas Present
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)

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.
