HID's
 

alright im going to buy some hids so that i can see at night when im driving, what temperature do you guys think i should get, im thinking 6000k or 8000k

6k, they are anal about blue headlights here in Ohio so I didnt get the 8k, the 6's are bright

I got the 10000, and I love them, have not been pulled over yet, they are very blue.

i got the 8K's and they are mighty blue too.... i love mine.... best mod for night driving so far. be careful though some of the HID kits are only for low beams. mine are. but they are bright enough i never "need" high beams. i've seen 3 different types of HID's. the ones i have that are just low beams, there are oned that have motorized that adjust the angle of the bulb for low and high beam, and then there are the low/high low being the HID and the high being a halogen bulb...... look at all the kits out there and remember that cheaper isn't always better....

pilothid.com makes a good set of lights with a decent warranty and reasonable price.

How much are these?

i bought mine from a friend that owns www.ledgauges.com mine were $220 over a year ago. i think they have come down. he offers a 1 year warranty through him so there is no having to deal with the manufacturer BS.....

you guys got any pics of your trucks with the headlights on

not currently. i'll be home tomorrow night and i can take some then. will that work?

The set I looked at for my truck was $175 for low beams and $160 for the fogs.

Holy Cow ,,, Never Mind

what ???? you got to pay to play.....:pca1:

Those are actually cheap compared to most kits out there.

we are getting a group buy going on the 9004 bulb kits on our local car club, they are nice, 4k-12k both bulbs and ballasts in 9004 for $100

Ok - heres a question - how long will the HID bulbs last????? They are like $90 each....



Spoolin - I might be interested in that group buy. Do those have hi/low beam?

Good link...and info on that site.

Heres another good site for looking up what bulbs you need or finding out what Sylvania bulbs work in your vehicle.

Nobody answered my question - are the HID replacement bulbs really $90 each? How long will they last?

here is a better site Doc..... looks like they sell the HID bulbs for 30 bux USD....

How long have you had yours Ben? Have you done a lot of night driving since?

Good link...I would like to have the hi/low beam HID's though.

over a year and a half.... LOTS of night driving..... no failures yet...... knock on wood....

spoolinaround - can anyone get in on this?

looks just like the kit I got on ebay for 120, bi-zenon, they move when you hit the brights, I haven't had them that long so I dont know about longevity, but as crappy as stockers are they are well worth the money. I converted to 9007's before the mod so I ordered the 9007 kit and they work great. I'm thinking about buying some of these buckets of ebay to put them in, and add a second set.

Those are the same housings Ive been looking at - Im not convinced they are suitable for a HID conversion though. I wonder if they would work ok?

i got the 1 piece ones and the HID's are on there way so i will let you know how they work out, i also got the bixenons in the 8000k

alright i put them in, and there friggin bright, very high quality product and look great on the truck i got them from

www.retro-solutions.com they were very reasonably priced

Which ones are they? - I just see ricer one on that link

Yeah, I see them now...

Have you driven at night with them?

not yet, truck still needs some work before its back on the road, all i got to do is put the oil pan on and the bumper

I like their disclaimer:

I saw that too doc
to funny lol

I didnt think it was funny - but it makes me wonder just how bright they are...

there like looking at a welding arc, i shut off all of the lights in my garage and turned them on and it was like daylight

The tickets you will get will be worth it...lol

definatly worth it

No to mention the wrecks you leave behind you as the oncoming traffic is blinded.

You nevermind...lol

I think the regualr 35W HIDs will work for me

I know I've come on to a few cars with them lights that I can't see through. I gotta stop and wait for em to go by.

or turn your brights on.... then turn your lights off and steer toward them..

i was blinded ocifer:w2:

ok... reading to many diffrent threads on this. so heres one question.

the hid conversiton wont work with the projector light kits?
but they will with the stock light housing?
ok so now im really confused. all i want is a black headlight assembly. with hid`d

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-01...QQcmdZViewItem

i got those but the clear ones, i put up the black cause you said you wanted black ones, i guess the HID's dont work with the projectors thats what i was told also, and as for the HID's the the fella from retro-solutions was excellent to do business with, they were at my front door in 2 days, the product was easy to install and very high quality
