Default Best Place to buy HID's from.....

i would like to replace my stock bulbs with high intensity discharge headlamps. ive heard of someplaces selling setups that fry wires...does anyone know where i could possibly get a good setup with the balast and everything? also... any word if projector style headlamps are being made for the xA? i gave up on researching that after i realised that aftermarket part companies dont really care for the xA, lol

check sponsored sales here. i promise you'll find some hid kits. i went with the mccollough's and i love them. i've had them for months and absolutely no problems. not one flicker, no burned wires, no high beams flashed at me, nothing at all. my friend with a tc has them too and they are the same as mine. no problems. well worth the money imo.

as for projectors, good luck finding those.

hey foxtrot68fiver ultrabrightlights.com have some Dual Beam H4 HIDs that will not lose you your high beam functionality
Plus their harness is weather proof and connect to the battery so it draws power DIRECTLY from the battery to save your electrical system in the long run.

I'll be getting those in a year or two

Xenondepot.com
got mine from them in canada, and it does draw power from the battery, and has seperate relays and everything else. Remember just because the kelvin # is high does NOT mean that it equals better visability. ex 8000kelvin vs 6000kelvin

I'm also interested in how the xA headlights handle HID lighting. So I would be interested in seeing the xA near a flat wall at night time, if thats possible?
