HIDs installed

i finally got my HID kit and installed them tonight. i had the incredible pleasure of driving about 30 miles after installing them, and i have to say.... all that money i spent on silverstars, tru-view, and other headlights... i should have bought a HID kit the day i bought my car lol

Re: HIDs installed

no, sorry brandon, i dont. i bought them through a group buy on MNSC. 135 shipped. they are made by CNLight, a company out of china. i was surprised with the kit. it came with the bulbs, ballasts, mounting plates and screws. everything you need for a nice, clean install.

Re: HIDs installed



tiss... tiss.... glare galore

You need HID projectors or at else use halogen projectors or you'll just blind people and cause lots of glare, hot spots, uneven beam pattern.

wah wah hater.

stop being one of the people who bitch about headlight glare. i already thought about it. for one, i aimed them down already so they arent right in someones eyes, and two, my eyelids on my car make a nice cutoff so people dont get blinded.

anyway, i used a night shot mode on my camera with a longer exposure so the pics make them look brighter than they are.

He's a hater because he's right and what you're doing is both unsafe and not legal? Hmm...

Re: HIDs installed

I hate when people behind me have those lights and blind the hell out of me!

But I love the way they look and would run them in my car anyday! Looks good, now just do something with the fogs.

Re: HIDs installed

I don't find HID's to be blinding at all. I personally feel they are easier on my eyes then the standard Halogen bulbs.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Those do look like 6000k. HID's are good shit. I am happy with my HIDs! Best cheapo investment ever.

As long as they are aimed properly and have the factory cut-offs they are fine.

Re: HIDs installed

as for those who are concerned about glare, as i mentioned, ive already aimed them down. just be fuckin thankful that my galant isnt at stock height, or else youd be getting glare right in your eyes :P
