well...I purchased a non-branded kit which was very well made and came with a decent color instruction manual. Had fuses built into the wires...which is for people who don't wanna use a relay harness and It's safe for both ways. Also the ballasts were very slim and made it easier to mount them. Paid $105.98 shipped. Heard good things about slim ballasts. I don't have comparison pics because I was anxious to install the kit but you've seen pics before. These shots are during the day and I will have some night/evening pics up before I head into work. Onto the pics:









BTW...the xentec box was a kit I bought and had a bad ballast. I already have it sold when the new ballast comes in.

 

nice, your definitely gonna like em!!

 

shweet. i have 6000k too. enjoy~

 

the kit i have now actually looks alot brighter then the xentec kit did....

 

How do they look with the 08 projectors? I just bought the 08 headlights and 6000K HIDs. I'm probably gonna do it this weekend...it's too damn cold. Post up some night pics.

 

actually alot better then i expected. when i had the xentec kit on the street that one light lit up both sides of the road and the oem bulb you couldn't tell if its on or off. its alot further too lol...ill post up some night pics in a few hours when it gets dark.

 

Lookin good. I'm debatin between 5000k or 6000k. How was the install?

 

10 minutes tops? lol. theres nothing to it. with the slim ballasts it was easier then the brick ballasts i had before to mount. 6000k looks blue then goes to white but on the road WOW its bright.

 

Interesting. Yea i'm gettin the slim ballasts too...waitin on my check card to come in

 

watching for that color on the wall.

 

^x2, and night pics

 

I know most have already seen this photo.......but 6000k in 08

 

Here you are...sorry for the blurry pics. I took them quick because its in the low 20s here in atlanta

 

looking good bro!

 

one thing i really love about the hids is that i can see what exit im coming up on the expressway from a good distance back and signs on the side of the road just glow

 

So you don't have any problems with the cut off? There are a few threads on here that say the 08's are horrible for HIDs. Ahhhh, those pics make me want to put mine in so bad....it's too damn cold

 

no problem...you see the pics inside and out of the car? its def. my best mod so far. everyone has their own opinions but to me its hella good for my liking. go for it...you wont regret.

 

u tryin to make an HID jingle with ur little rhyme!! LOL

 

overall is better than 04-07 headlights any day. i would comment on your 6k bulbs in your kit but I found that aftermarket 6k bulb lumen output tolerances varies vs oem.

small tip for halogen projector hid users:
the top pic where you're shooting at the building shows that you need to either raise or lower the flap inside the projector. dont not make it completly flat just bend until the halo disappears .

the little halo light above the main cutoff shows that your not maximizing your hid distribution which cause a small but slight glare to other drivers.

 

Looks good, I know what you mean on the signs, Late at night I flashed my dual HID on all four beams on one of them signs and it lit up so bright that is nearly blinded me.
I'm looking at replacing my 35W kit to the 50W in a couple weeks. And maybe install my HID fogs for even more brightness.
