So far all I've shopped is eaby and this is what I have found. Could anyone tell me if these are worth buying or if I should look elsewhere? Also, I'm not sure if I want 8K or 5K or something else. I want my headlights to be super bright white but not pink to oncoming traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have a kit I bought from Tina you can have for the 50 I have in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Stick to 4300K-5000k. Anything above 5k is going to be lowering the actual visible light and honestly look like the 16yr old in a civic with pink or blue lights. I had 4300's in the past and loved them. Might I also suggest investigating what's out there in the way of projector lights too. Otherwise, the scatter from them is going to be quite glaring and likely to cause you to be flashed by oncoming drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve R. Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 You want 4-5 k for white light. Go with ddm tuning or visionari. Those companies have done me nothing but good. Anthony (Angry Bird) has a kit on his firebird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbracing81 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I am very glad I asked before buying. I really don't want pink or blue lights. Good info thus far and really quick too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0nk3y Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Are these going to be put into proper projectors or halogen assemblies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99FLHRCI Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I would recommend finding a set of projector housings off ebay amazon etc and then buying a ddm 4500k kit to put in them. Looks like you have a rare headlight. (I'm sure you know this) The only thing I could find was a write up using the projector from a TSX. Might be more expensive to do HID then it is worth depending on what you were hoping to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky31186 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hid's in a halogen headlight do scatter. And are bright all over. But if you make sure they're aimed down its not so bad. Of course projectors are better but unless you can get oem projectors for it, they will look "ricer". IMO Also I run 6000k in my heads and fogs on my jeep. And they are white. No blue. I put 6000k in my wife's 07 Honda Crv because her halogens sucked. And they were BLUE. So it all depends on the car and where you get them from. I like ddmtuning and hidextra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast5gp Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Don't be a dick by putting HIDs in halogen lamps. Unless you like blind the shit out of incomming drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbracing81 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'm not trying to blind everyone on the road. I just want to be able to see better, especially in the rain. Some people say if I aim them lower they aren' t too bad. I found this: http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?p=683305 I wonder how much this set up is?
