Hi-

I have been considering buying myself a set of these HID (High Intensity Discharge) lights ever since the GroupBuy came along. But I then convinced myself that $450 was too much for a set of lights which for me is only for appearance. How does everyone feel about their sets that they have purchase honestly?? Are they worth it, likes/dislikes, etc etc...pictures would help as well.

Thanks!

 

Does it make you go faster?

The only advantage I could think of is when you're driving down I-85 at 120mph you can see better, thus avoiding that big piece of truck tread, pothole, etc.

 

I jumped on the group buy after I had a TL for a week, while the R was in the shop. anyway, I had too much fun with those on at night...the light was actually white, and I could see a tad farther...now on the R, same thing!!
Yeah, $400 is a lot, but at least it's not just looks.

 

Might Not make the car faster But Once you have HID Its like a Drug You need it in Every car you drive There is a remarkable improvement in Night time driving

i agree mike...

 

No, it doesn't make you go faster. But it does allow you to go faster with a greater margin of safety. Bigger brakes, stickier tires, and coilover suspensions don't make any more power than stock. But you never hear about those being called a waste of money. Better lighting falls into the same category.

 

Worth every penny.

can I get a ah men! Thank you for saying that perfectly!

 

Ah Men

 

Once you go HID you can never go back. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive since they had to come up with a new kit for the WRX.

 

More safety than appearance. Safety comes before anything else on the street. Sorry.

 

Thanks everyone, I'm about 90% sure that I will now purchase them. Also, what's the differences in the bulbs? I think it is DS2 or DSR...or something similar. Just to clarify, I hope everyone here didn't get the idea tha I thought HID's would make me quicker. I was driving home with my friend tonight, and we always comment when we see HID's. Just on an AUDI, but they look so good!!!! Expensive, and I said they would definitely benefit me in heavy rain or fog possibly. Sooo.......http://www.centerstagegroup.com/ that is the set I'm considering, is that the same set as in the previous group buy? What would everyone recommend?

Thanks!

 

If you are in, how many people does that make? I'll be in if we can get it for 425

 

totally worth it for me...and im in a EK so the headlight is bigger and alot clearer..i jump in my friends ek without em and its like driving blind

 

How true. I refuse to drive any car with halogens (unless it's a F50 w/ halogens )

 

Exactly, once you go HID, you don't go back!!! I just love annoying George with mine!!!

Thanks,

I just can't justify the price for them....well, I cant afford anything else anyways

 

Does anyone elses HIDs start off really white then slowly go slightly yellow?? Just trying to see if it's just me with sensitive eyes or if it's actually happenning.

 

No. It will not make you faster. Why not just cut out protector block on your high beam bulbs and put them into the low beam headlight? This gives nearly the same look of an HID without the HID price. You can then buy other USEFUL mods for your car with the money you saved.

 

wow what a good idea! That will totally look like hid's!

 

humm and I guess that you tried it...? If not then you didn't look at all your options . Ok let's "pimp" out my shizznit so we's can see betta! If you really need HID's...so be it, however it was a loaded question to begin with...it's all about opinion. I'll post pictures if you want, but I'm telling you...you will not be able to tell much of a difference at all. Plus, you will save $450.

 

It's not the look of the HIDs that we're (at least I'm not) trying to achieve. You don't understand how much farther you can see in the dark with these lights. But I guess you can't or won't appreciate them until you drive behind them.

 

true, true. That was stated much better better tsaktuo.

 

just looking in retro...he did want an opinion on dislikes...

 

Hey, I can save tons of money by putting a set of $100 tires (for a complete set of 4) from Pep Boys on my R, too. Give me a break. HID performance is superior and worth every penny. If you can't afford it, save until you can! Well worth it!
