Hmmm, options

Zatrekaz · January 31st, 2008, 01:16 PM

Ok, so I am putting about $100-$130 bucks out of this check to do something small to my car. Currently im looking at two options: ebay cai, HID lights....

I have always wanted the HID lights, I just love the look of them. At the same time, I feel the money would be better spent on starting performence mods. I currently have a exhaust setup done, and cai would be the next step.

Anyone have more suggestions, and/or links to some good HID kits for around that price? I have heard some people say the ebay HIDs are a good buy.

I found this kit on ebay:

XENON HID H.I.D Kit H4 H4-3 9007 TELESCOPIC DUAL BEAMS - eBay (item 250209558644 end time Jan-31-08 12:49:49 PST)

Its a 9007 TELESCOPIC DUAL BEAMS kit. Im thinking this is the right one, with dual beams and the 9007 bulb. Feedback for seller is 99.7%, seems like a China based company.

it says its $66.26 and 35.00 GPB for shipping, no idea what this is in US Dollar. anyone have a better link or would this be a good kit?

Found this also, says its the dual beam 10,000k kit for $142.00 shipped

not gana say don;t get a HID kit but just to infrom u. those r not real HID kits. but that is because it is imposabul to get real ones. u need to redo the head lights to have a realt HID set up.

get some halo projectors... they look good

shadow5403 · January 31st, 2008, 03:08 PM

in pictures they do... close up they aren't that bad...

make sure you go with dual beam HIDs... it gives you the high and low options back...

and you might have to go with a bomz intake... ebay ones aren't around any more for some reason ... maybe cause the car they were being made for is old

Zatrekaz · January 31st, 2008, 11:18 PM

So, are the links I posted above good? any suggestions on a HID kit?

I know to get a kit that has both beams, but I am trying to find a good one to buy for under $200, cause thats what most places like stangmods and American muscle want

GreenFaleen · January 31st, 2008, 11:22 PM

Intake FTW

HID kits are
1. illegal
2. have a funny light pattern that blinds other drivers and restricts your vision

also those ebay HID kits are going to go out on you in a month if that. never get a kit from China they are crap, for a good HID kit that will last you need to spend at least 250 from a good company (german based being the best)

motorhead6776 · January 31st, 2008, 11:29 PM

hmmmm, i know next to nothing about head lights but i do like the look of the blueish lights. could someone explain how one would do that? i imagine its not as easy as buying xenon bulbs off ebay and swapping them with the stock ones.

uhh yeah it is that easy lol, you will get a good color but not always the best visability, silverstar Ultras are the best bulb replacement you get a nice wide bright white light

you need a device that converts the electric input to work with the new bulbs... and it also has a different connector... so no its not as simple as a new bulb you need a hole new kit that has all the gizmos and gadgets...

both are correct in there own sense...

the silverstars wont give you the high end BMW white lights that you see but they will take out a bit of the yellow in the stock lights...

the HIDs are what come in the top end cars and provide better light and color compared to the silverstars

so its probably safe to assume that those arnt real HIDs because the require no modification other than changing the bulb?

HID Dual Beam Headlight Conversion Kit for 94-04 Mustang (9007 Bulb)

thats a real kit what you posted was only the bulbs... which wont get you to far as they aren't the correct connection

check on ebay if ur gonna get entirely new headlights. i went on american muscle and found a set i wanted and then searched on ebay 4 em. i got them on there for less than 1/2 of wut american muscle wanted

Blackbeauty v601 · February 1st, 2008, 09:23 AM

he is right i got the same lights for $60 and on AM they were like 180ish

GreenFaleen · February 1st, 2008, 11:25 AM

getting a colored halogen bulb (xenon) will give you the color of the HID but not the brightness and easy visability, getting an HID kit will give you color, and brightness but bad visibility and youll blind other drivers since you dont have the proper lense or sheild to make the light pattern legal
