for all you who have HID kits installed give me your opinion on 6k, or 8k, im ready to buy my kit but i am deciding between these two. i am leaning towards the 8k, because its more of a blue, and since my interior leds are blue, and also my licence plate leds..thats why i am thinking of these, but like always i appreciate your postings to help me decide. (07 FM TC).

Get a Retrofit or get some high quality halogens. DO NOT put HIDS in a reflective housing. Its pointless. But i have a feeling you and 99% of the people who say "I want HIDs" wont listen because of that "well other people can get out of my way" mentality....

Sorry to get on you man, but if you throw in HIDs to a reflective housing, hopefully the cops write you a ticket and make you take them out. Do it right, or not at all.

tcvenom

when you mean reflective housing what do you exactly mean, im a newby, i plan to install the HID's in the factory headlight housing

t_urbo_C_harged

the factory headlight housings are reflective... look where the bulb is and see all that shiney silver around it?!? you will blind people this way..

SSQ

he is refering to your factory housing.

I had HIDs in my factory housing and the visibility didn't improve a single bit. For good visibility, it's really either a high output halogen or 4300k HID. For most guys that want to look cool, get the 10 Billion K kits and maybe it can also do tanning.

how do i go about getting a retrofit for my 6000k HID kit, if thats the right way to go

niran916

I would go with the 6000k. I have them on my TC and they look great. I also have never been flashed by other cars.

tcvenom

great thats a good piece of advise from an experienced user

SSQ

Retrofitting requires you to obtain a pair of projector lenses and lens housing, then mounting them onto your housing right now. Lots of people like the Bosch projector housings used in BMW and Audi cars, which can be purchased from the dealers. However, most projectors used in other cars would do, like Hyundai, Subaru, and KIA.

tcvenom

does anyone have any suggestions on some projector headlights that will go nicely with my 07 FM TC, hopefully this will resolve any issues with my HID conversion

SSQ

Bosch ones fit pretty nicely. Also, I am suspecting you can pick up the projector headlight housings in the 08 tC and stick them on your car. Potentially less trouble.

niran916

No retrofit is needed in my opinon. All that is needed is a headlight adjustment. I have never been hassled by the cops. The retrofit would be hard to do as well if you want to go that route.

mattieg

I was in the same boat as you between 6k and 8k. I went with 6k and never been happier.

tcvenom

cool..come monday im ordering my 6k HID's for both my lows, and fogs from operatic....

niran916

I bought mines from operatics as well, and they work great! They also came quick.

Just a Suggestion, i put 8k HID in my Built Jeep Wrangler when i had it, and to me it was too blue, so once i get HIDs in my TC, im getting 6k. Its better on the eyes and doesnt stand out as much.

GaalpwrdTc

just got 6k from operatics.....ships fast and they look great!
