when buying HIDs what sould i be looking for, so i dont get ripped?

old_s13 · 03-30-2004, 09:45 AM

make sure it looks blue when you turn it on, the good ones light up blue..

blue = powerful light

also, it looks cooler.. because its blue..

ahah what an ass....j/k

Theres tons of info on HID's. Search and dont be lazy dude....Thats the only response your gonna get on here.

BTW #1 I hear isnt bad....company wise.

old_s13 · 03-30-2004, 05:25 PM

go with the cartopia 10,000k HID kit...

carefool though, they are coming out with a 20,000k kit.. its going to be even more extreme. remember, the higher the K with HID kit is, the higher the K in your bank account.. more is always better.

got rice 240sx, PM me or AIM me (JetForze)

Do not continue this thread, and do not buy either of those kits until you've done so.

old_s13...i posted an exact thread like this months ago...got your response. I will pass the lesson on and save Zilvia and you the trouble of repeating yourself. You can probably predict how this is gonna go tho =P

old_s13 · 03-30-2004, 06:06 PM

why not let him buy one of those kits? its a good learning experience!

OptionZero · 03-30-2004, 07:04 PM

Then he'll have less money to buy stuff from you or me, haha

old_s13 · 03-30-2004, 07:38 PM

definately not buying from me..

people dont buy from me unless they know what they want. i cant imagine anyone waking up and saying "you know, i want some dual LED gun-metal front turn signals and dual led tail lights for my S13 today."

however, I know plenty of people who say to themselves "yeah i got this new ryyyde, i need some clear signals to make it look fresh."

When getting a hid kit get:

4100k Bulbs made buy phillips. Its what nearly all manufactures use. BMW, audi, etc. ( if u get any blue i'm just going to be disappointed.)
If your wondering why bmw, audi, etc look blue. Its not the bulbs, its the projectors.

Phillips ballast
new harness's

and from there its minor stuff.

pm me or aim me "ronmastas"
