Re: Finally got My HIDS (Interlude)
I bought the 6000k 9006 rebased unit from http://www.xenondepot.com. For the clearcorners I am using these "new" (thats what I was told) bulbs that almost look like a mirror (as opposed to the blue colour)

Re: Finally got My HIDS (Low Kee)
That looks sweet man! What kind of HID kit is it? What kind of bulbs are they, Philips, Osram, K2? How much did you pay?

Re: Finally got My HIDS (backlash)
The bulbs are Philips 6000k bulbs. The reason I chose this kit as opposed to others is because the bulb has been completely reabased. If fit right into my 9006 housing, came with its own harness, and when I line up my car against a garage I get a sharp straight line meaning that the kit has a proper beam pattern.
This honestly has to be the best mod I have ever done to any car I have ever owned. I definetily recommend HIDS for anyone.

Re: Finally got My HIDS (Low Kee)
Looks like you have the set-up I would love. Silver color (I think), gold wheels (what are those?), HIDs, ITR lip, OEM (I think) fog lights. That is so tight. Do you have any daytime pics of your car? Please post if so.

Re: Finally got My HIDS (PatrickGSR94)
Damn your car got some crazy camber on it!! 
BTW, how hot does the HID actually get? I know lots of people like me are concered about it, I guess it will never be hot enough to melt the housing eh?

Re: Finally got My HIDS (startroops)
Thanks for the respects guys 
These are the cosmetic mods I have:
1) OEM Complete Body kit (front, sides, rears)
2) OEM Fogs
3) HID Conversion Kit (6000k from http://www.xenondepot.com)
4) Cusco Rear Tie Bar
5) Type R Upper Strut Bar
6) Most importantly - No spoiler - THE CAR LOOK SICK
In terms of the side marker bulbs I have to look for the packaging. The best way to describe them is that they look like a mirror.
In terms of the HIDs, They definitely wont melt the housing. The kit I purchased also came with its own harness so I dont have to worry about the stock harness. If you guys are interested I can try to work some sort of group buy. Before I talk price lets see if there's a demand.

Re: Finally got My HIDS (00-0187)
Oh I definitely need a camber kit. All I can say is that the ride is ridiculous and the tires wear out pretty quick but I LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS

Re: Finally got My HIDS (Pb_Foot)
hmmm, How can I best describe the difference between HIDs and OEM?
It's kind of like getting out of my car and into a friends' Z24 (hope he doesnt read this). I have spent so much money on my cars from coilovers, headers, exhausts, sway bars, etc........ (no turbo) but I can honestly say this is the best purchase yet. No matter how fast you're driving you always get to enjoy this!

Re: Finally got My HIDS (non-VTEC)
I purchased this kit from a Toronto based company. The company is: http://www.xenondepot.com
They primarily sell over the net however they do have several dealerships they deal with in the city. I paid $900 Canadian cash and carry which isnt bad when compared to their net price of $599 US. I've done my homework on these things and I was really impressed with their kit.
