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.


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

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.

Some of ya guys are dumb about HID stuff here.....

Read up on this LINK
http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3505
The FORUM
http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/
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"

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...
