scroll to top of page
click SEARCH
type in the field
"HID"
Press search on bottom
youll get ALOT of answers. People have differing opinions on the HIDs. Most swear by McCullough but I've heard many say they suck ( not on this forum though ). I personally use sunshine industries and havent had a complaint.

I bought a set of the cheap ones in a groupbuy on SG about a year ago. It cost me roughly $100 but i must say, "Do it once, do it right"
My passenger side HID tends to twitch and then shuts off sometimes. :cry:

Do you remember the Ebay seller? Sounds like a good deal for both.

The ebay seller was ' lighting623 ' and I was mistaken I payed 63 a piece for the kits. He has some there now for about $60 shipped. You can click on any hid item in his store and ask him the questions you need to. If you tell him you want two kits and are wondering if you can get a discount he probably will save you a few more dollars and ship them together. You just tell him what car you have, what year, and what kelvin. He does the rest if your talking to them on the phone or email(sends you what bulb type you need ect ect.) I love my kits, and they have done really well so far.

HIDs in the stock headlights suck tremendously. I get WAY better output with the HIDs in my foglights. It shouldnt be that way, and if you have the black housings, its even worse.

My suggestion is taking the time to do a retrofit. Its the only way to go in these cars...if you need a good beam pattern.

I have a set of German-made bi-xenon lights that I bought off eBay. So far I have no complaints with them, and no high-beam lights + Monterey Park (Asian community) = Suicide since it's true what they say about Asian drivers.

Here's the link to where I got it:
