Xenon HID $75.98 Shipped!
Re: Xenon HID $75.98 Shipped!
i think you will find that hid's are not intended for high beams because they take a little time to turn on and get to their full brightness. low beams on the crossfire are on all the time - even when high beams are on. it may be illegal to have his as high beams as well.
Re: Xenon HID $75.98 Shipped!
eruby, thanks for the input. I have heard this as well - that they are not ideal for high beams. However I did read a post from a member who did claim that he did have HIDs for his high beams and said they were great because when did use his high beams its was usually for extended periods of time at higher speeds. I think I could agree on this in terms of my driving style- however this depends driver by driver. Just food for thought. I'll probably wait on ordering a new set.

Re: Xenon HID $75.98 Shipped!
A few observations on my new 5000K HID kit ($71.99 delivered).
Driving home from Atlanta last night, I was worried about pi$$ing people off with these things. But nobody seemed to mind.
In fact, anyone behind me could have turned their own lights OFF and used mine!
Live and learn.
- I don't care what anyone says, 5000K has a blue tint to it. They turn yellow reflectors green.
- There is a very nice little shelf under the radiator overflow tank that will take 2 ballasts stacked for lows/fogs applications It even has an M6 stud to use.. The ballasts don't get even warm, so heat dissipation isn't an issue.
- If I had to install 2 ballasts on the drivers side, I would stack them, in the little brackets using an M6 spacer and an M6 stainless screw. Maybe in the future.

Just got mine last week.
make sure you know the color you want to live with.
They DO have 4300K if you call them.

Yep. they seem to be good folks to deal with. While they wouldn't take back the 5000K's (I modded the grommet) they discounted the 4300K replacements by $10. Way less than any others on eBay.
I received them today and will install them tomorrow after work. I charged up my camera and will do a "Max Pictoral" on the install. Including a different way and place to hide the ballasts.
Someone asked for ideas about that.

And now I know where my full price for the kit went!
I'll have to haggle with them for the fog kits next month!
