My Ebay HID's i got for cheap(pics)
I wanted to show everyone these hids i bought off ebay brand new for 117.00. here is a link to the sellers page http://stores.ebay.com/LeenixWholesa...Q3amesstQQtZkm
You can buy them straigth up for around 150, or buy them at auction, (what i did) to get them even cheaper. Quality of the ballasts, harness and lights is that of any other 250 kit out there, i know because i have friends who have these kits. the only thing is the wording (on the box and in the instructions) is in broken english (like they had a bad translator) Anywho, im sharing this so other cheapskates like myself can get hids for a low price. i won the auction friday night, and the poduct showed up on my door on monday moring, now thats fast shipping. They are 6000k(i wouldnt recomend a higher temp since it would bring unwanted attention and reduce your light output). It produces a nice white color with a hint of blue. If you win the auction you pick your color temp and size. i dont have very good pics cause my camera sucks at taking night shots.
heres the boxing and ballasts
like i said, the connections and wirring is just like all other conversion kits out there. all connection are watterpoof, and the ballast and ignitor are all one unit, unlike the mccollough kit.
here are some pics on the car
yes these are in my stock housing, yes i know this isnt ideal, the glare is not bad in this housing, ive seen hids put in stock housings of other cars that produce horrible glare. i drove behind my car and it did not bother me, or shine light into the cabbin of the car i was driving. I have yet to be flashed and drove past police with no problems(although i was scerd)
now my question to you all is, do any of the aftermarket projectors have 9006 connections?. i was looking at the latest ones on ebay(with led eyelids) and one seller said it did, while another seller said no, it was h1 or something.
Again, just wanted to share with you all, i know you will post your comments.
Oh, by the way, those are "simulated" led fogs, big props to magyver for the idea, sorry for stealling, but it was to cool.

My guess is that these are made in Taiwan. And about ebay guys not knowing what they are talking about.... it's true, I ordered a set of headlights and the guy said it had LED halo's, turns out it had CCFL halos... Now I have two sets of Anzo style headlights, and if the cutoff are good, then HID here I come! keep us updated on, color consistancy, warm up time, durability and light output thanks!

im not sure what he meant by polarity was reveresed, the adapter that plugs into the strock harness is made so it can be pluged in either direction so the + from the kit can match the + wire from the stock harness. anyways, i got the 9006 kit, wich may potentially suck since i do like those new projectors, which i think take h1 or h7 bases, but who knows, maybe i can modify the 9006 to fit. Aslo, i m currently working on buliding a glare shield to help reduce some of the stray light, i let yall know how that goes...
