fake "hid" xenon lights

232stang · June 21st, 2007, 08:09 PM

has anyone bought these? with me driving in the country alot i need some good headlights but im not going to spend the money for an HID kit, so anyone ever bought those ebay headlights? im thinking the blue xenon 9007 8500k

i got some for my 06... they were blue and bright until they burnt up my driver side wiring harness..... after a month....
just make sure you know what watts your stock ones are rated at and dont get to much higher than that.... thats what i recommend

they can and will melt your stock wiring harness.

just buy some fog lights instead man.

232stang · June 21st, 2007, 08:16 PM

i have fog lights just havent wired them up yet. im not sure if i want to do negro engineering and just run a 12v to it and then splice it into the main headlights to turn them on. or spend the $90+ to do it the right way.

HMUSN · June 21st, 2007, 08:19 PM

hmmmm $90 the proper way or $220 to buy a new harness from word when you fry yours.....

what do you think?

2000Si · June 21st, 2007, 08:21 PM

My only piece of advice:

Spend the money for real ones, or spend the money on something else.

232stang · June 21st, 2007, 08:21 PM

how would i fry my harness? (the foglights are aside from the hids)
im just going to splice into the wire that tells the lights to turn on, or however its done. ill have to figure that out. and when i get inspection just disconnect the foglights and say they are just cosmetic(since they wont turn off when brights are on)

HMUSN · June 21st, 2007, 08:23 PM

because you just spliced it into your main harness.

2000Si · June 21st, 2007, 08:24 PM

Inspection must really suck...

Anyway, fakers put out more light, hence use more power that your stock harness isn't built for.

Same with real HID kits. You need adapters. I used to have a link for them but I haven't looked for years.

i see... i guess the fogs will just be for looks lol. i dont have $90 to spend the end of the month is creeping up

232stang · June 21st, 2007, 08:25 PM

Luis_GT · June 21st, 2007, 08:29 PM

I may just order me a HID convertion kit for my car... 280 bucks isn't too shabby.

232stang · June 21st, 2007, 08:29 PM
