The H.I.D. Thread

I figured this thread might be helpful for those looking to purchase H.I.D.'s for thier ride so we can compare price, quality and color as some kits are not as they seem to be in the ads for them. *pics would help!*

i have cheapo ebay projectors. they sucked so bad with light output that 2 days later i ordered and retrofitted the projectors with Acura TSX projectors and a D2S 5000K HID kit.

i chose 5000K cause i like having clean white view. plus i hear blue can become harsh on the eyes and causes fatigue.

total price of headlights, retrofit projectors and hid kit came out to $600

sorry about the large pics but they are a must.

custom halo

overhead shot

low glare which IMO looks better than just adding an HID kit.

cut off from the projectors.

Working on a retro for my blazer, fx 35 bixenons, will be slightly color modded. Not done yet, so no good output pics.



Output pic of the projector still yet to be modded.

Mine are a cheap kit from ebay on my Crown Vic, 10000k. I installed them last Feb, and other than a small fuse issue, I have had no problem with them in the last year. Plenty of light at night, and I get complents about them all the time,

Lights cost me $110 shipped, but there much cheaper now. Im working on a custom set of HID fogs to match.

Cool, I just notice your from Mobile as well. I thought about some Marauder light with a 12000k or 14000k kit (cant remember) for that purple effect, but I was not sure if they would work on my Crown Vic. What year is yours?
