///BHRpowered Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 talk to chitown, he's done it. but you better be doing this as a platform for HID's, not to make the car look older Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latinopikachu Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Um, hello BHR.... I've always mentioned that I wanted HIDs but I'm not going to drop them into reflectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colbylamb2006 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 about the HIDs, I have one question. On www.hidplanet.com, they have a $389 kit right now on sale. Would that be the one that I need. It comes with 2 ballasts, bulbs, connectors, mounts. Do I need any extra wiring? This is simply plug and play correct? ALSO, what is the difference in 4300K and 5000K. I do know that OEM is 4300K. But the 5000K has a more bluish tint to it. I don't have HID projectors, so people probably wont be seeing the blue like they do in other cars with OEM HIDs.. So i thought about getting the 5000K system for $389. and dropping it in???? WHAT DO YOU THINK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 no, it doesn't, 5k is alittle bit whiter. And you already have projectors, so your much better off doing an upgrade, but if you don;t want to, get the kit, keep in mind it has to be a 9006 kit, since you have 9006 sockets, I believe the HID planet kit is a D2S, which means OEM hid componets only, you can get 4300k 9006 kits on ebay any day of the week, 100 bucks for some, but will only last a year or so, the 3-400 dollar philips are the best and will outlast the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colbylamb2006 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 yeah... i want to be able to work them during the day and not worry about them shorting out...i've heard those ebay kits dont last long. I know it will be cheaper in the longrun to get the nicer oem kit. I know that it's not blue, but when i drop a philips 9006 kit 4300K into my car, will it appear as yours do bhr and in a maxima, tl, bmw, etc? Will it be that type of intense lighting? I want good. I'm getting back 520 income taxes. I just don't want to waste any of it on lights that wont work right down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Foregound will look about like mine, but the cutoff won't have an much color since I have a retrofit with tweaked projectors. However, it will be pretty damn close, minus just a bit of color along the cutoff, to any projector based oem system, so long as you go 4300k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colbylamb2006 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yes...ok 4300K HID Philips 9006 Kit.

latinopikachu Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 bah hahahahha [attachmentid=941] shut up BHR it's not water in the headlights. it's some pitting and erosion. it was much worse when i got hte lights, after some mild bathroom cleaner they looked better. trust me it doesn't look that awful in person, and doesn't detract from the lights [attachmentid=942] yes yes I know, it doesnt look quite right, i had to fix the stupid hood height adjustment rubber knob thing. [attachmentid=943] [attachmentid=945] [attachmentid=946] and just for BHR: [attachmentid=944] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 bathroom cleaning, you fucked up fruit, go back and get some wax on them RIGHT NOW, you used the harshiest cleaners you could find, you probably just scrubbed off any remaining protective coating, they will start to yellow and fade with in 2 months. stop downgrading. and those damn well better be 4300k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
