Hey , just installed my 8000k HID kit i picked up from ebay. And allow me to say that it is simply amazing. The silverstars looks pale and yellow compared to these lights of course but also the driving quality and the second look i get is very pleasing. Its cold as a bastard so im gonna get some pics up soon if it get a bit over freezing here. Also the cut off line is perfect for these headlights and there is no blinding effect when driving because i got into my friends car and he followed me to see. I am very happy and hopefully youll be to when ya get em. :-)

Sweet 8)

cool....

Which Brand kit is this?

yeah more info please

does it have Hi/Low beams?

post pics soon

What Brand please!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7946640729&category=36476

thats the kit, the guy that sold it to me was fast and responsive, now i look foward to driving at night... and if you guys ever get something similar ill help ya with the install but trust me this is one of the easiest bolt ons i have ever done.... left headlight has plenty of mounting points for the ballast but the right has the battery, fuse box, and air box.....i finangled it in there somehow but the result is amazing.. i could never go back.. pictures are comming tommorow night.. promise :-)

thanks for waiting kids.. update is at the top

NICE!!>...
how much was the kit?..

i think blue/minty headlights are illegal.
along with my white/blue turn signals in NJ
230 fine for turn signals and i think about the same for the headlights..
correct me if im wrong..
does it really look that blue from far away.. like the xenon's?
or is it just the camera compensating...

but anywhoo... they look great!

they are a hair whiter, but they are legal 6000k and 8000k are legal which those are... but when u get to 10k(all blue) and 12k(all purple) then your illegal buddy.... the kit cost 3 bills and i put up a link to the guy on ebay above... he doesnt have 100% feedback for nothing.. fast and friendly service.. and thanks for the compliment

I did do research. I recieved nothing but good things about them. What do you think we should know about them before buying? btw, I did the research on google, not on the forum.

www.hidretro.com

Good site, it may not be a retro fitted setup but im perfectly content with it and its not blinding...thats why i put it up here for opinion good or bad so thanks to everyone so far.. as far as if there are any reliabliliy issue i have a year warrenty atleast... all keep you all posted if anything

Oh yeaaaa thats a tonn of pics LOL JK

Look real clean!! now change those LEDS in the Gauge cluster!

lol at the last second i was concious of our 56k users...Leds sound like fun.. but im apprehensive about tearing the dash appart and its cold as a bastard outside for that stuff

ahhh HID's = SUPER DUPER WHITE and CLEAR?




how come it looks blue. VERY blue...

He said the kit is 8000K. Most OEM HID is closer to 4. The higher you go, the more colored light gets (less lumens, less usable light).

Nice HID's. I bought the same 8000k HID kit on ebay a couple weeks ago. I think it was from a different seller tho. $275 after shipping. I even have the same exact car and color as you. I used zip ties for the right ballast cuz I'm not sure where I want to put it yet. Like you said, not much room on that side... and its a biatch getting to the city lights on the right side too. Now that I have them, I wish I wouldve gone with the 6000k. The 8000k is a little too blue for me. But thats just my opion. Overall I still really like em. Nice pics[/quote]

nice.

you dont need a whole nother kit if you wish to get a lights hue, if u want 6k lighting just buy the bulbs on ebay and replace the 8k ones with the 6.. will run you about 100 bucks tho.. but u can sell the old ones back on there.. if i get tired of the blueish hue ill change to 6 as well but right now i dont care and love it

ok im a newbie at HID's. are 6000's the same brightness as 8000's? i understand that the higher number you go, the bluer they go, please help me. i want to buy some, jsut want to make sure i get exactly what i want (really bright, high/low beam, white as i can get.). thanks!

nice hids.. think about hids with projectors... :clap:

ok 5k and 6k are really bright white maybe with a hint of blue in the 6k and the 8k is still 3x the intensity of regular halogen but bluish... now 10k is just flat out blue and 12k is purple

looks nice twoface...heres mine..
the pics of course do no justice because the camera readjusted the lighting but you can get an idea...

I have the Philips balasts and Philips 6000k bulbs in my tC and they're more of a bluish white than a bluish purple. They are BRIOOGHT as hell and do not have high beam but you don't need it with these. They fit good and look clean on the road.

the 8000k's are alot brighter than the 6000k, you receive white light on both from the driver and from the oncomer you get a blue tint on 8000k and a little lighter on the 6000k, i have xenon depot hids 8000k

will any kit work? or what bulb style do i need to buy it for?

the kit is up to you .. if you wanna go for a name brand get a phillips kit like above but get ready to pay for it, you can get a decent kit from ebay like i did, most kits should already come with the bulb of choice.. just do a 6000k or 8000k 9006 bulb search on ebay

Shrugs....all of those are illegal regardless of color temp. It is illegal to install any HID bulb in a housing designed for halogen use. It's also illegal to install a 9007 bulb in a light designed for a 9004 (just an example). Not to mention the glare will blind other drivers. If you want HIDs wait until someone designs a complete retrofit including the housings. Although, that would still be illegal if I'm not mistaken, you just wouldn't blind oncoming traffic. In short, it's illegal to install HID lighting in any vehicle that didn't come from the factory with them as an option. Just an FYI.

does anyone have pics of their beam pattern? i'm assuming the light scatters big time since the tC headlight is open beam and not a projector.

the 8000k's are alot brighter than the 6000k, you receive white light on both from the driver and from the oncomer you get a blue tint on 8000k and a little lighter on the 6000k, i have xenon depot hids 8000k


Umm.. actually the 6k are brighter/whiter/ and elimante the road better than the 8k.

THE HIGHER THE "K" YOU GO.. YOU DIMMER IT WILL ELUMINATE ON THE ROAD

As soon as I get the actual black and white proof!! I will post it.. Im just letting you know for now.


And for the ppl who wanna do an hid kit.. Just search on ebay.. ex: 9006 hid conversion kit..... It will bring up all different brand names and "k" There are some places that will show you the difference in color between the bulbs.. Most places carry any bulb and any "k" you want!..

*
Many people are not comfortable driving with stock halogen bulbs that dont project enough light onto the road. HID's produce 3x more light than stock bulbs and make driving at night a breeze. 5300k (bright white) will provide you with the most light on the road.
* Then there are car enthusiasts that are looking for anything that will make their cars stand out from the rest. Our 8000k (intense blue) and 10000k (purplish blue) kits do exactly that.

But we also have a kit for everyone else. 6000k (bluish white) does a little of both. While still remaining very bright, it gives any car a nice look without being too flashy.

This is from McCulloch!!!! I can find you more info just like this if you need me to farther state this situation!!

yes sir you are very correct with your statements,
though 8k is 3 x the intensity of halogen and 6k is something to the tune of 6x the intensity

The 8k are by far brighter than standard halo's.. . Thats what I plan on getting in the few weeks when I should be ordering it..=)

My buuddy has them on his 92 gtp!! What a difference.. 8k and they have a nice blue tint to them

My buddy wit a new tiburon installed hid. 8k and his have a purplish tint to them!!... Cant figure out why??

so what the deal are they easy to put in or am i going to have to shoot this car? i wanna know befoe i buy em and how long soes it take to put in?

ummm we know its illegal ...............................we just dont care heh dont wanna be blinded? dont look ! :blah:

so what the deal are they easy to put in or am i going to have to shoot this car? i wanna know befoe i buy em and how long soes it take to put in?

simple install, if u can swap out bulbs then you can do this...extremely easy.. and if u need help ill walk your through it

ummm we know its illegal ...............................we just dont care heh dont wanna be blinded? dont look !

And you guys wonder why your insurance is so high...

actually i bet mine is lower than yours :-P wow this will teach me to make anymore threads on this board.. too much drama here

a little too blue for me, but nice. personally i wouldn't get anything over 6000k, and i'd probably just get myself a 4700k

http://www.hidexpress.com/ for side-by-side color comparison. pretty close from what i've seen on other's cars. if i end up doing the hid kit, i'll be going with the 6k as maximum.

hey two face is right, simple spirit, youre just a retard, who cares if there illegal, i pass cops a hundred times a month and they don't do anything. i don't blind people and no one else says anything about it, if you don't like them don't comment.

oh and aw yo, great website, that is why i chose the 8000k's cause they look so much better on that website, i bought mine from steve and xenon depot. 300 shipped. i saw on another post where a guy paid 600 bucks for his, what an idiot.

can the people with HID on their cars in this thread post some pictures of the beam pattern on a wall or garage? i want to see how the cut-off is

ill try to arrange something so you can see the beam patttern...i might do it tonight for ya

The only right way is do a damn Xenon projector lens from a car that has HID and do a retro fit. Your aftermarket kit from ebay might look cool, let it look cool all you want but when that on coming traffic cant see the road correctly because your lights are aimed wrong and you cause an accident dont come whinning on this board saying your car is wrecked or something.

Do HID the right way "RETRO-FIT"

If anybody can post pics of where they mounted everything under the hood, it would help out alot. Thanks!

Here's a pic of the ballast on the left of my car, behind the intake. The other ballast is hard to see and right behind the headlight...

Hi,

I got mine fron xenonfactory.com and they're philips rebased 6000k ultinon bulbs & the original philips balasts.

-tanya

Thanks tChick!! Helps me out alot!!

The best HID kit I found is from PlasmaGarage.Com It's very good quality kit and I suggest the 6000K because it puts out the highest lumen from a colored (purplish-white) HID kit. The higher the Kelvin, the more it gets dim on the lunmen (plus it looks like you have those fake blue bulbs because it's now so blue!)

evidently yours look like this

and the one that did a real hid projector retrofit looks like this

Like i said do it the right way or not do it all all. Just dont do it just cause you think it looks cool. You are the type of person that makes it dangerous for others on the road. Also why do you think NHTSA made it illegal to do after market HID???

Nice.
I have 6K HIDs (philips ultinon) on my Integra right now, which I will be swapping over to my tC (when I get it, that is).

I got my kit from xenondepot.com, they are awesome.

im sorry man... i'm wrong you're right.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v159/MookMan/DSC00387.jpg
i guess even though that beam is evenly spread and on a brick wall and the cut off is beautiful and no hot spots. But yours is the BEST :bow: out there


Make me wished i never got a tC

take another picture, 10 feet away, 20 feet away or whatever distance you want to. And if you get the same cut-off as the pictures i posted then let it be.

look theres no point in even arguing with you anymore, you don't have pics of yours yet, or never so don't even worry about it forget, mine look great, take it or leave it

look theres no point in even arguing with you anymore, you don't have pics of yours yet, or never so don't even worry about it forget, mine look great, take it or leave it
you have pics of the cut off?

they are on that post earlier from about 3 or 5 feet away, im going to try to look and see if i can't get another one from 10 or fifteen to show the real difference

As most of you may already know (not tryint to whore post) you an also purchse hid conversion kit on ebay. If you look for a few days before your purchase you may find a slightly better deal than from the website itself. I would venture to say would be a persoanl preference. My friend bought his on ebay used for like 200 bucks and no problems. work great and look great. just some more advice/opinion/option for some people

And my .02 about projector retrofits. and the difference in projector vs. standard headlights in general.
I am not stating facts here. this is all my OPINION !!

Bright is bright wether its beeing projector throught a focused beam or not. If you look at our headlight allumination on the road. Some of you may see if similar to a projector houseing. There is a "fake cutoff line" look. While at the same time there is the glare of 2 individual bulbs. I do see a resemblance in our headlights to a projector headlight.
Sure a projector light may be better cuz it does focuse the beam on the road but I am very picky bout my lighting on the road. I am all for HID kit also. But if you look at most cars or drive in most cars you will see that most headlights dont have the resemblance of a projector lense as to ours do. Most standard headlights fade as they go down the road and to the side. but ours simply have a sut off line to them. Not as sharp as projector but I see it is there. You can really notice this if you drive down a dark road wit trees on the side. as you hit bumps and the road goes up and down you will see our lights "jump" and you will notice this line. as to most cars do not do that cuz the light output just fades cause of the design of the headlight.

Since our headlights sit far back in the houseing and the houseing has that clear strip across the top ( which would be perfect for a strip of amber leds for turn signals) It makes the light have a cut out line. As most headlights arent just simply designed like that they will not have that cutoff line.

Any opinions or feedback on this would be great. And like I said this is just my opinion and my opinion only. I am not stating my information is factual or not.
