Re: Who makes HID kits for the birds?

Best ones I've found through reading members reviews (not any companies or magazine reviews, just real world "here is what I bought & pics" testimonials) are:

http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p...=102&parent=85

&

http://www.quadratec.com/products/97017_600.htm

Not real cheap, but cheaper than a lot of options I've seen.

No I haven't bought any. My wallet won't let me........YET!

Re: Who makes HID kits for the birds?

I use the hyper white kit with trublu ballasts. I've had them in my car for about a year and not had a problem, I had to re-aim the headlights but besides that, I didn't have a problem. I absolutely love them, problem is, they are hard to come by and when I get them, I sell them to my friends dirt cheap. My hookup buys them in bulk and gets some kind of discount for doing so, but I only buy 5 sets at a time, I don't have the money to buy 1,000 sets at a time.

Re: Who makes HID kits for the birds?

i cant blame all the kits for that but that was my experience.

my car dosent see rain either, but i do pull it out of the garage and wash it.

they make the silverstars that are h6054's that go right in our cars.i went that way.
