[Dsmboi50]

so is like 12,000k like looking at the sun?

[Steve_C]

so is like 12,000k like looking at the sun?no, more like trying to light up the road with a black light. 4000k-4300k is the closest you can get to the color of the sun. anything higher then 6000k is just rice and will only attract unwanted attention. alot of people who think about buying HID's don't realise that the salt's in the bulb will actually burn in, thus will turn a few steps bluer over time.

[Terry]

Wow you learn something new everyday.

[Steve_C]

my friend put 8000k on her celica a few years back, it looked cool and had a purple hue to it, but honestly, i think her stock halogen's were brighter.

when you see a car on the street with anything from dark blue, to purple to whatever, you immediately notice it. but if you were ever in the car, you can't tell the difference from the road and the stripes on the road. it's that bad

[Dsmboi50]

very correct, thanks! many people think the higher the number the better light output, like he said, not true.. higher number means different color with less output.. If anyone is interested let me know, im paypal and ebay verified and can get whatever you like.. I run 8000k on mine which is a nice color/output for me, but most people like to run 6000k or 4300k for most output.. thanks guys.http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4643/layout0qv.jpg

hid kits suck retro ftw!

[Kinematics]

I've heard bad things about these sorts of kits melting the wiring harness for the lights.

[Terry]

Can't be as bad as my Kaxxin HID's

[M@]

I'm curious.. how do these kits install in the stock headlight housing?

[Steve_C]

I'm curious.. how do these kits install in the stock headlight housing?mount ballast and in the case with my catz, the ignitor. replace stock halogen bulb with hid bulb. find place to ground ballast. if it's true plug and play, plug wires into stock harness.

I love my catz kit.

[Dsmboi50]

I'm curious.. how do these kits install in the stock headlight housing?
same way your stock bulbs do..
as for melting harness.. ive used these on my acura legend for over a year with no issues.. these arent the high wattage crap fake hid bulbs.. these are real hids.. these run lower wattage than your regular bulbs so melting a harness is no big deal

[Steve_C]

what brand is the bulb and ballast on your kit? can you get the h4 with high/low beam?

[M@]

My confusion is this.. you know how sotck Honda housings have a little cover over the bulb in the outward direction? Basically so you can't see the bulb straight on..? Do you have to remove that piece?

[velocity]

probably because hid bulbs are longer than halogens but not 100%

[Dsmboi50]

yes i can get you an h4 kit if you'd like. Price on h4 kit is 260$ because they are high/low..they are german ballasts with integrated ignitors and phillips bulbs.. and yes these are true plug and play.. i know this because i use them on my own car.. i wouldnt sell these if they werent a good product. They also include a warranty incase the bulb or ballast goes out. But like i said no problems thus far. as for having to remove the cover inside the headlight.. i am unsure, my acura didnt have a cover. sorry.

[Dsmboi50]

mount ballast and in the case with my catz, the ignitor. replace stock halogen bulb with hid bulb. find place to ground ballast. if it's true plug and play, plug wires into stock harness.

I love my catz kit.
also, these kits do not require you to ground the ballast.

That doesn't make any sense. HIDs draw much less current than typical filament-type halogen bulbs. If an HID kit caused a wiring failure, it was installer or manufacturer error.

There were (probably still are) some plug-n-play bulbs out there that are halogens with lower resistance that do produce more light than stock. These are the ones that kill wiring due to more current.

I have an old retrofit kit (h4 - I don't even know the brand, I sorta inherited it) that uses 6000K bulbs. One started flickering and almost strobing, and the only replacement I could get my hands on at the time was an 8000K. So I have two different color headlights. The 8000K is a bit whiter than the 6000K, but when you walk around in front of the car there are so many different angles with different reflection patterns that you might not notice. I will eventually replace both with new 6000Ks.

[floored4door]

what brand is this?

[iinvazionii]

do you have more than one of these kits?

[xmerklex]

do you have any kits with h7 bulbs..?

[Steve_C]

yes i can get you an h4 kit if you'd like. Price on h4 kit is 260$ because they are high/low.well reason why i ask is some kits only tilt the bulb when you flick on your high beam. I remember pang sold his old h4 kit in favor of the katz kit because the bulb actually moved back when you flick the high beam.

they are german ballasts with integrated ignitors and phillips bulbs.what brand ballast? so essentially not really a kit, just whatever ballast you have on hand plus phillips bulbs?
also, these kits do not require you to ground the ballast.ummm, that doesn't sound right.

[Deltron_3030]

That doesn't make any sense. HIDs draw much less current than typical filament-type halogen bulbs. If an HID kit caused a wiring failure, it was installer or manufacturer error.

they require more wattage at start up thats what causes your wiring to crap out, thats why you need a wiring harness.

[floored4door]

do you have any kits with h7 bulbs..?

Go here merk.... http://HID-SIN.com great prices and ships out 2day. Where i got mine no problems so far...

[Dsmboi50]

this is made by pilot.. yes i have more than one of these kits. if anyone is seriously interested please email me.. dsmboi@comcast.net

ummm, that doesn't sound right.
no these h4 kits arent like that.. yes it is a KIT.. I dont make these at home if thats what you are asking..
why doesnt it sound right that the ballast dont need to be grounded? not all ballast need to be gound to the body..

[Dsmboi50]

do you have any kits with h7 bulbs..?
yes, same color choices too

[velocity]

no but the good brand name ones usually do (hella, matsushita, ect)

[Dsmboi50]

they require more wattage at start up thats what causes your wiring to crap out, thats why you need a wiring harness.
any way to back this up? ive ran hid kits on all my cars and NEVER melted a harness.. hid's require less voltage.

[Dsmboi50]

odd.. McCulloch doesn't..

[Deltron_3030]

go look it up on hidplanet.com remember hid do take less wattage that is after they start to warm up, when you first turn them on they take alot more wattage to ignite. Ive had both hids and a retrofit on my car and always ran them with a wire harness.

ok, but you have never ran them without upgrading the harness? i have any never had a problem.. if you have no interest in buying the kit then why post? thanks

[Deltron_3030]

because im answering a question that was asked in the thread just like others who have whored this thread up. You're welcome!:)
