Default H.I.D's

I have been looking around these forums for a while on what people have used for different HID's. Some have had problems with wiring, some needed relays and others where cheap ebay knock offs. Im looking for a set that are around 8000k. I need peoples opinions on what they have used or what they would recomend. I have heard that the flowlighting is a pretty decent set, correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Ok you've got to go with FlowLighting HID kit. OZNIUM.COM baby!

I have it on my tC, and all my friends have it on their tC's. You can't go wrong. 1 yr warranty, 365 day return policy.

You really don't need relays.

Thank you guys so much for the fast replys... guess I didnt search too hard. Long day at work. Mwuf15 how are those H.I.D's? Also what do people usually do when buying them, put them as there low beams? Common sense would tell me that would be the only place.

Yes, HIDs are a bit impractical for high beams (constant on/off can burn out the ballasts). I have had the Flowlighting 8000k kit in my tC for quite a while now, and have had no issues. They are super bright, and just look down right awesome. If customer service is an issue for you, have no worries when it comes to Oznium. I've been ordering from Phil over there going on 5 years now. He's the best in the business...

I've heard good things about mobilehid ( http://www.mobilehid.com/ ) They come with a relay right outa the box. Oznium is awesome as well. I haven't ordered their HID kit yet but I probably will in the future since they have awesome customer service. Phil and Max are awesome guys.

And AGAIN all the children in here stay away from the obvious bad .... GLARE GLARE GLARE . And because they are in a reflective housing , you will not get the full benefit of HID . If you do not care about the glare and vision , any of the guys mentioned are good to work with from my experience . Good luck

i dont care about the glare. as a matter of fact i dont get that much. there is some im not gonna lie. but i've seen worse. and as for full benifit of hids thats correct but they are still 100x brighter then stock, and look 1000x better. im happy i got them, and combined with my clear corners and oznium halos the front end looks bad ****

just make sure you aim the headlight a little bit lower for less glare.

have mione (8k) from Oznium.com for about 7 months now, no problems or anything yet .. but im sure Phil/the owner would take good care of his customers right away, no doubt. The kit does include a relay.

About ebay hid kits, depend. Good luck with them.

Not only do you not need the relays, Oznium's kits don't come with relays either, right Phil? However, if you really think that a relay is necessary, I'm sure that Phil would be more than willing to throw them in. Only the cheap HID kits will burn out your stock harnesses folks. ;)
