I've been looking around for some HID kits to buy, and I really like the purplish look for the Stage II 6000k kit at http://www.hid4less.com. But their kit is $750, and from what I read most people on the boards pay about $450 for theirs. Why are these so much more expensive? Are the better quality, or just over priced? Also, I know that 6000k kits are supposed to be more purple, where 4k is more white right? Well what about the 7000k kits, or the 9000k kits? What color do they light up? Also, has anyone bought from xenonhid.com? That's where i found the 7k and 9k kits and was wondering whether their any good.

Oh yeah, one other thing. What's the deal with the low/high beam kit? I thought you couldn't have high beams with HID's.

I have a friend with a "hook up" at Acura. I can get you OEM Acura TL HID kits sealed in the bag, straight from Honda. Ballast, bulbs and everything. I understand though that each light needs a standard 12V car relay to make it work. If anyone is interested let me know. We are going to take some pictures of them today (we have about 4 sets now).

I have to confirm with the person selling them, but I think the price is $350.00.

What do they look like? 4k, 6k, 7k, 9k, etc... Also, how hard is it to get and hook up a 12v relay?

 

I honestly don't know what numerical heat range (color) they are. I can just tell you they are the HID's used on Acura TL's. Check out a TL and you'll see. From observation I would guess they are maybe a 4K kit. They are not as blue/purple as the Audi and BMW's.

12V car relays are very common. They are about $4.00-$5.00 from radio shack. If you have any electrical experience they are easy to install. If you don't know how, just ask any installer, even the Radio Shack guy. They are basically on/off switches that you can send either a +12V or ground from....you choose based on what the application needs.
