reasonable price for HiD
 

So I'm thinking of getting HiD lights for my Mazda 3.

I was gonna get them from one of the BCMazda3 sponsors which quoted me for $100 for the kit. I asked around some friends and they quoted me that they spent between $140 - $250.

What's really considered reasonable for HiD lights? Am I gonna end up burning more money in the long run with the cheaper lights?

i will only pay $150 MAX....
www.DDMTUNING.com ... best 55W slim hid kit for only $150 ish

Ugh, are you going to retrofit your headlights?

If you and/or your friends aren't retrofitting your headlights, you're going to cause excessive glare to fly off your reflectors and blind the hell out of everyone. This is going to cause accidents and is a ticketable offence.

So if you are going to go HID, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get it done right by retrofitting your headlights first.

Do yourself a BIG favour....Don't buy the cheapest ones out there. (personal experience) There is an absolute S**TLOAD of crappy HID kits around (usually the ones around $100-$150) Crappy ballasts, crappy wiring...= crappy. If you are looking for an inexpensive brand that is reasonable in price ($220-$240 low-beam $380 Hi/Low), try hidoutlet.ca Good luck! :thumbsup:

sigh do people not fucking search anymore?


best place to get body kits, now best place to get hid

^ hes not asking where to get them he asked what would be a reasonable price. And if he would be blowing money on cheap ones.

The mazda3 has oem projectors, i've seen some mazda 3's with aftermarket HID, they look pretty good, not much glare, just make sure to aim it down if its too bright

go to n-motion, their product quality is pretty good.. i had mine installed by them and it last 3 years and counting....

^n-motions good and i love their service

but hidoulet.ca is too cheap to pass up.

n-motion is great, bought mine for $150 i believe 2 years ago and still going strong. Very easy to install unless you wanna pay them $80 labour incase you fuk up lol.

HID outlet pretty much has the cheapest kit, $79-99 dollar a kit



Some cars requires removing the bumper, and grill in order to install the HID

is it really an offence if you dun retrofit your hid??? There's like shit loads of pick-up trucks with bright ass hid and with their height, it directly shines into other ppl's car. And if that's not enough, they have to stop 6" away from your bumper at a stop light and that's just plain annoying

isn't there something against aftermarket hid that bright to be install in a pickup truck or any other suv??

I got mine from HID outlet for 80 bucks, but soon realized that HID in a reflector housing actual gave me less light than my stock bulbs and just blinded the fuck out of everyone.
I researched doing a retrofit and contacted HID Illusionz but for now I don't wanna spend the money on a retrofit. So I put in new wiring to handle 100 watt bulbs and I'm happy with it.
just my 2 cents don't spend money on HID's unless you do a retrofit,
-its one more illegal mod to get pulled over for
-I noticed my lights acted more like "flood" lights so on a dark road I could out drive them
-you blind the fuck out of everyone.
so why pay money for less light?

even cheaper
$39 + $15 shipping ..

this is one of the reason I want to be with the police. Help them but getting all people with hid kits. I'm sure that everyone has been blinded by hid kit more then once. It's annoying and has to be stopped.

HIDout in Crystal Mall has them for like 109 or something.

should shoot high beam to them...

How to shoot high beam when they are behind you?

What you need to do is install HID's in reverse housing and just flip a switch. :haha:

:eek::eek::eek: lol wtf

In fact, it's illegal in BC to run ANY HIDs that aren't direct from the manufacturer, SPECIFICALLY for your model of car. In other words, the only way you can legally add them to your car, is if they're available as a FACTORY OPTION for your car; then you can legally install THOSE SPECIFIC factory fixtures.

Now I just sit back and wait for someone to give me shit again for posting about this in here. Well guess what? Some people DON'T know that it's illegal, as evidenced by this question. Good on hJe6 for wanting to expand his knowledge.

Whining about it on RS only to get "I told you so": PRICELESS
