Hey guys, question, which Hid upgrade kit is good? I want quality over cost. Also I want reliable, because i've heard bad stories about some. Also are HID kits easily installed? Or pain in the ***, bring to a dealership to do kind of project lol?
What is the estimated life of a HID setup? Thanks guys
Markus.

 

i dont know much about an hid kit. but i do know that the most reliable one is probably the factory jdm one. what car do you have? for the dc5, thats forking over 500+ for the factory jdm hid kit. so yeah..

Cool I didnt know that, thnks for the info.

 

I have JDM HID ones. They are bright and very clear. plus you get black housing headlights. too problem with using non hid headlamps is that they shine all over the place since the beam pattern is not made for HID.

 

I have Xenon Depot 6500k. They're damn nice. Sure you'll get glare because they're not retrofit, but they're brighter than oem halogens and look DAMN NICE!!!

If you're worried about blinding others, aim them down a bit.

Retrofits are definitely the way to go. But here's the catch. I got my kit (moderately difficult to install, would not recommend to do alone if you haven't done it before) for a little over 300 shipped. To do a retrofit, it'll cost about 700 AT LEAST, and could go up to a g.

Sure, if I had the cash I'd do it. But for the extra cash you can have a lot of other **** too.

 

i just got my s2000 projectors retro into my OEM em2 and damn hella brightness.

 

how much did you pay for that setup?

He did an amazing job. The s2k u just have to shop around. I got mine for 125. I bought new housing for 130. Bulbs for 65 bucks new OEM, ballasts OEM for 1 bill. So total cost about $620 or so.
