Here's a quick photo I snapped with 5000k's in ebay projector housings. Not too bad for a cutoff:

 

^i pushed the yellow waterproof thing down a bit and then rocked it back and forth and pushed it in with a screwdriver ..then i was able to push it down so it clipped. Dont mess w/ that yellow waterproof thing cause u cant get water in there

 

i want to order some HID's for my 08 tc but im not sure which set to roder from the site so could seomoen provide me with the link to which ones i have to order and im looking for 5000k. also ive never done anything like this before is the install easy?

 

5k's look like this:



I had a cop tell me once when he pulled me over he saw me w/ those blue hid's ....so this time I learned and got the 5k's - no more blue giving away that im a younger driver. The install is cut and dry. You take out your old headlight bulb. attach the harness that comes w/ your kit. THat will lead into the ballast (the hid box) - comming out of the ballast is a wire which you connect your hid light - then put that back into your headlight. Everything is the same ....your just putting the ballast in between your cars wire and were the stock bulb was

 

okay thank you and is this the kit i need for my 08 tc? http://www.hidextra.com/HID+Conversi...rsion+Kit.html

 

^yea but tell them when you order what kind of car and housing you have because you need a harness which will be included. I didnt know that but include that in a comment when ordering or call them after you order so it gets put in the notes. Cost $60 w/ the promo code shipped

 

michelle,

are the relays waterproof?

 

doubt it :-/ maby water ''resistant''

 

I wouldnt worry about it. Just mount them up closer to the level of the top grille and you will be fine. There are gromets on things so thats as good as it gets. If you are worried about that, take clear silicone and put it over the wires going into and out of the ballast. I might do that if i come accross a tube of it at home somewhere.

Ive only had mine installed and used once since friday but for $60 you cant ask for more. For $60 ya almost want to buy two sets just to have the extra bulbs

 

yeah, i think it should be ok. I'm thinking about some balloons and silicone. i think itll be fine though.

 

Hey m.carroll, is your 5000k HID looks whitish while driving? I had the the 5000k mobilehid and that was white, but then bought the 5000k from hidextra and it cannot even compare. The hidextra ones look really yellowish.

 

i actually ordered 6000k's. they'll be here by the end of the week. that's actually what i was afraid of with the 5000k's, so i guess its a good thing i didn't order them. your ballasts should be fine, you should just be able to get a new set of 5000k bulbs and fix it right up.

 

It says on his website that the 5000k have a hint of yellow.

 

5k is pure white - no yellow at all

 

Thats not what he told me thats why I went with the 6000k.

 

when I shine mines against the wall, its not just a hint of yellow, its real yellowish.

 

I also got the hidextra 6000k and they are whiter than my mobilhid 5000k. Just my hidextra 5000k doesn't look close to oem. it looks more yellowish than white.

 

This is what my 5k's look like

^ but i also do agree that 6k's are great also. I used to have 8k and that was too blue for my taste now - but i used to like that. 5-6k will surely give you a white light from these bulbs
