HID - this a product of choice?
 

been looking for an HID kit to go in aftermarket projector housing. is the X-Tune 6000k a good choice? it's everywhere on ebay

I have never heard of X-Tune but I am gussing it's just another cheap eBay HIDs.
I've had some no-brand HIDs and McCulloch HIDs, both of them were garbage, ballast will just die on you so fast. (less than a year)
I have had my PIAA HIDs for almost 3 years and still going strong. I'd recommend you getting a decent one.

I heard good stories about Phillips HIDs too.

Anyways, you'll get what you paid for.

whats a good place to get it from? both PIAA and philips?

I got mine from Lordco, I got a hook up on price though.

PIAA HIDs normally go for $1,100 but I got mine for a bit more than $600 because it was a trade-show-price thing.

you can get Philips HIDs online, they're very popular.

I am happy with PIAA HIDs built quality and durability, however I am not happy with the size of ballast and wiring was a bit more complicated than cheap eBay HIDs.
PIAA might have updated their ballast though, but I am not positive.

ok I just looked around on eBay and Philips HIDs ranges from something like $100 to $400+...I bet some of them are fake, so I guess you should be careful.

I've found some link, I guess these ones are real Philips but I can't personally guarantee you.

HIDOutlet.ca have got lot of selection....
They are local, don't bother with shipping and warrnatry issue....

why spend $600+ on a plug and play kit when there are reputable sites that offer lifetime warantee on bulb and ballast for sub 200? :/

I could not find any "reputable sites" locally. (in victoria)
also, if you install it by yourself, the warranty is void.
I got a quote somewhere around $300 to install it, because they told me they need to take off headlights and bumper. Which is not really necessary, but couple of places I went to told me.
Also, if I buy one off the website, if anything goes wrong, I will be responsible for shipping for both ways. Sending it and receiving it.
Local stores were selling no brand HIDs for like $300-500 with 1 year warranty, so I just decided to go with PIAA for $600 since I know I was getting a good deal.

+1 HIDoutlet.ca

RS Sponsor that offers a great price!

+1 for HIDoutlet too, bought many sets of HIDs from them, from bulbs to full kits, cheap to expansive, all of them worked like a charm.

Great, more illegal lights on the road blinding every fucking other driver.

wow nice, they have Philips too!

he's getting a projector housing so it shouldn't be as bad as reflector housing.

"shouldn't be as bad" <- is that suppose to be comforting? Come on.

why would you go there? this is RS.... :p

Thanks Soundy.My thoughts too...sort of. :)

Philips HID kits
 

We are local, open 7 days a week (retail store @ Crystal Mall), counter exchange warranty, products always in stock, and we are open on 25th and 26th. :)

Why not? He's not gonna listen anyway, and all the ricers will still defend their "right" to piss off other drivers. After all, this is RS!

haha, i was sitting back thinking... hmm, soundy is gonna give his 2 cents in this threads... sure enough!


this is RS, and aside from all the hid, lowering, window tinting questions,

merry christmas!!! haha

crap, i went off topic again didnt i?

in regards to hids, go do a quick search, this topic comes up once a month, and soundy makes his comments heard in every hid thread out there.


chances are, we can find something on your car thats classified as "rice"

we get it, its illegal. Anything is illegal when you start modding your car alrit


:rolleyes:

nothing wrong with them, i was skeptical at first, but i still went for a set, its for my fog lights and it's still working flawless till this day. and u can't beat local over the counter warranty exchanges.

the hidoutlet one's aren't bad for their price honestly
i had them on my car, had them for a year now. worked fine.
