A few places on eBay are cheap and a friend of mine bought his for his ranger low beams and they looked amazing. Couldn't tell you the vendor but his looked good

Unless you put the HIDs in a HID specific projector housing, dont bother. Youll just blind other people on the road and it wont be any better than doing just an H4 conversion.

Well, ive ordered HID's. but for the projector housing ive got some spare metal i can cut and weld to make my own so thats not an issue. I need instructions on hid installs on 3rd gens tho.. does anyone know where i can find that??? thanks

so youre going to purchase HID projectors then make a new housing for it to fit in the stock location out of metal....that sounds like a lot more work than just modding the cheap ebay housings to work. the hids you ordered will have to be compatible with the projector bulb type, which hid kit did you order?

VelocitySc0pez

umm what i meant to say is.. ive already ordered an HID conversion kitt.. 2 lights.. 2 balasts.. wires. everything .. off of the internet. wont it fit in the stock location..? and i ordered it from the wrebsite someon1 from third gen recomended.. http://www.hidxenonheadlights.com/

the stock bulbs are sealed hologens, theres no way to put a HID bulb in them. you have to get a housing with removable bulb, and get a HID kit that fots the bulb type of that housing. just putting a hid kit in a new housing it a BAD idea, as stated earlier. the correct way to do it, is order a cheap housing, a set of projectors, and cut up the housing and mount the projectors in them. then get a HID kit for the bulb type of the projector you use.

that hid kit doesnt even specify what bulb type it is

also looking for a place to get some Hid's can someone possibly give me a rundown between the different options below? I have a 92 firebird so if i want to throw hids on it im assuming i need three kits one for the headlights and two for the foglights correct?

This is the exact same kit I used...

It's bi-xenon, so you'll have both low and high beam. It also has the metal shields over the bulbs to help hide the hot spot. I wouldn't go any higher than 6000 color temp, otherwise you'll end up with that tacky bluish purple color and won't be able to see very well.

Is it just me, or is there not even a section on the site for HIDs...

Besides, Ive said it once and Ill say it again. Putting HIDs in a non HID specific projector with a cut off is going to do nothing more than shoot unfocused light everywhere and blind other people. They wont be any better at lighting the road than a stock replacement sealed halogen lamp. They only thing they will be is more money. So far Ive seen 1 set of 4x6 housing with a HID specific projector and HID kit on the market. It sells for almost $1000. The only other real option to getting HID quality light in our cars is to make them yourself by fitting a HID specific projector into a 4x6 housing, then putting a HID bulb and ballast in it.

all i found was "hid" bulbs. which are nothing more than Xenon bulbs you can get at the local auto parts store for $20. they arent actually HID at all.

I found the kits yesterday, everything is universal for our cars, personally id just get a brighter light instead of installing a kit
