Been thinking about getting a HID kit for mine. If you have one where did you get it, how much and how difficult was the install.

 

i had a hid kit in my car, all u do is plug it in...easy as changing bulbs...mine costed 450 got it from a local dealer here...just sold em cuz i wanna do a retrofit, but i loved em...i drive with my hi beams on sometimes and it still isnt as bright

 

i dont have HIDs but why not just settle for the bulbs? its about $30 without installation and is nice and bright and white and blueish

 

.Because one, blue coated bulbs are illegal but then again not too many cops care anymore.

two is they suck in the rain, and final is that the bulbs are way dimmer than stock bulbs so safety becomes an issue.
Also, some truly are brighter but they run at a higher wattage which means you are going to either burn ur harness down or damage something else.
HID's are expensive for a reason.


axeman I would search this site and also hidforum.com in order to find your answers.

 

yea i finally decided to go HID after dishing out for some like $50 for some silverstars... the reason... muuuch better output and i like my blue/purple looks.

Installation was a breeze too as it was a simple plug and play.

 

mine were a group buy for like 200 . 6000k . i installed my self . 20 min its easy =)

 

wow $200 is it still up same price i would but it righ now

 

Need to watch it dude, 6000k and you start to get into the unusable light range.........
BMW, lexus and every other company are using at highest 5000k bulbs, 4100k is standard. You only see blue/purple flashes due to the projector lenses they are using.....and if you see it on a TL or IS300 then it is due to the freeform reflector housings, not the bulbs

 

thats tru...i had 8000 and it was pretty as hell...but on some roads i couldnt see shit and in the rain...forget about it the car in front of me was lit up and the signs...but the road looked like my lights were off

 

I am thinking 4k max because its really useless to me to have headlights that don't illuminate the road I am driving on.
