you don't have to have skills to do a retro. All you need is patience. I know it won't be easy but at the end the results of my job will have a better light output on the road than i had with my audi. TSX projectors are the shizzle! I've been reading Yanki's thread too :D How's the retrofitting going?

i've had my kit for months now and had no problem with them plus i spoke to the guy personally cause he called me about my address and he told me that they have warranty for a year! so i might as well try it and see wuz up. so who cares what other people say as long as you like it! oh and persoanlly i think the 5k would have looked better for your car cause of the color of your car! thats why i got the 6k cause my cars csm and i didnt want to blue or to white on my hids! but either way it looks good bro

Wow I'm just joind this site and i see this stupid reply...
Shame on this forum...
You do realize a ballast draws 12V from the car then an HID bulb only needs 35Watz to give an output 10X better than a sucky 55W halogen.
Look at your own kit and read the label on the ballast.
Man that guy is a moron...
Dude please come out to the next DPA meet.
PLease Please PLEASEEEEEEE do.

you do realize 6K is really white with a hint of blue right?
You should also realize betweek 4100K and 5000K , you get the most usable light. I guess you can never teach these guys the truth about HIDs until they have a real experience with what true HID is. But I guess it's okay as long as you endanger other people's lives blinding oncoming traffic.

and u know what...just to reply to your statement...

i do know the ballast it self takes 12volts to be powered up to ignite the HID bulb w/ is 35 watts....hence making my statement about a relay seem a little more better, u know. since u shared that great tid bit of info for me....but. all in all. you young dudes jump to posting conclusions sooo soon hope to see u in DPA

yup. im gunna break ur legs.

the last thing ur gunna do is when i tell you to your just gunna end up so take ur vast automotive knowledge and please do un-register urself becuase if u just got here today, u surely wont be missed.

the last thing we need is a person on the first day of registering calling someone else a moron or anything like that. but please. do join us on DPA and we can have a rather enthused conversationg about lighting. ill introduce u to my prolumen ballast box. How about that?

Oh please keep posting...
your knowledge about 35W HID producing less light clearly makes you a pro.
Once again you're a M O R O N
If you don't know what you're talking about then shut your mouth and learn.
