I am looking for a good kit to buy. I have seen quite a few kits around that have wiring harnesses that you must mount to your battery. Do all kits have to be wired directly to the battery. I was thinking that some of the newer nicer ones (Philips) used your power cable for your stock headlights, and it plugged directly into the ballast, sort of "plug and play". This type seems superior. Who makes these plug and play types, if they exist? Are there certain brands to watch out for?

 

philips is completely plug n play.

 

I got the McCulloch Kit. Completely plug and play. Really easy to install and the ballast was really small. Not sure about the price though because I got it as a gift from my Gf. You can search for more info about them on google.

 

So is Philips the ONLY plug-and-play system? I have seen ones by K2 and SPW Industries, but they do not look plug-and-play. There is a system made by GiantLight, but I don't know if it is plug-and-play.

 

Here is every site I know of that sells HID kits...
www.xenondepot.com
www.visualdynamics.ca
www.hids4less.com
www.coolbulbs.com
umm....that's all I can think of...

 

 

I've e-mailed Trevor w/ many technical questions I found on the Philips Lighting Forum and he knew his stuff. I would feel comfortable buying from him, whereas I'm not sure about the others listed.

SUVlights.com is another source, though.

 

Philips Lighting Forum?? Where can that be found?

 

http://www.autolamps-online.com

They sell genuine Philips Ultinon 6000K kits.

 

or just ask dc2ownz to steal a set for you.

Low Kee: what kind of corner bulbs do you have? where did you get them?

 

phillips kit is OK. If you ever brake a bulb or just need to buy one part good luck.
I broke a Phillip's bulb and couldn't find a replacement.

I ended up buying a kit from http://www.autolites.net and got a one year unlimited warranty and can replace just one part if I ever have too.

The output of these HID's are a lot sharper than the Phillip's.

 

Yes, Low Kee, what kind of kit is that??? Looks awesome!

im curious to know what lowkee has in the corners too.

 

Low Kee's pix are from an ebay auction

 

That is Low Kee's car. Low Kee's kit is from http://www.XenonDepot.com

My corner bulbs are the light blue Polar M12 (I think) - I got them from Pacific Mall for all of you that are from Toronto.

 

Whoa, thats a huge house in the background. I would love to have at least 2-3 extra spaces than cars in my house when I get to that point.



Those are my K2's

 

Philips HID's
I'm running Philips HID low and high beams and there is no going back to halogens. Trever from visualdynamics.ca is a great guy to purchase the Philips kits from. They are plug and play and can be installed in less than 20 minutes.

I have a question. Do your HIDs on the high beams get much usage?

 

Quite often since I go to school in the middle of nowhere Indiana.

 

Who needs High beams when you have HIDs?
