Re: HIDs installed
no, sorry brandon, i dont. i bought them through a group buy on MNSC. 135 shipped. they are made by CNLight, a company out of china. i was surprised with the kit. it came with the bulbs, ballasts, mounting plates and screws. everything you need for a nice, clean install.

Re: HIDs installed
tiss... tiss.... glare galore
You need HID projectors or at else use halogen projectors or you'll just blind people and cause lots of glare, hot spots, uneven beam pattern.

wah wah hater.
stop being one of the people who bitch about headlight glare. i already thought about it. for one, i aimed them down already so they arent right in someones eyes, and two, my eyelids on my car make a nice cutoff so people dont get blinded.
anyway, i used a night shot mode on my camera with a longer exposure so the pics make them look brighter than they are.

He's a hater because he's right and what you're doing is both unsafe and not legal? Hmm...

I guess you can't argue with stupid. Yeah, other than it being not the right way to install them, being unsafe and illegal, its a pretty good install.
Yes, there will be more light, nobody is disputing that, but I could throw a coupe 10million candle power spotlights on the front of my car and have the same effect. The idea is to get more light out, and do it safely, like an OEM install. You do this by taking your time, not half assing it, and retrofitting an oem projector so the beam doesn't blind everyone else on the road so you can have sweet looking headlights

Re: HIDs installed
I hate when people behind me have those lights and blind the hell out of me!
But I love the way they look and would run them in my car anyday! Looks good, now just do something with the fogs.

Re: HIDs installed
I don't find HID's to be blinding at all. I personally feel they are easier on my eyes then the standard Halogen bulbs.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
Those do look like 6000k. HID's are good shit. I am happy with my HIDs! Best cheapo investment ever.

As long as they are aimed properly and have the factory cut-offs they are fine.
