My headlights at the moment dont like up ish
so i was considering getting HIDs, but they cost like 100 bucks.. is it worth spending that much? and do they illuminate more then the 5000k h4 bulbs?

 

100 bucks is cheap for hids, the problem is that plug and play kits aren't the greatest. They break, are not water proof at all, blind people on the roads and have pretty bad glare. The "right" way to do is to retrofit hids from another car in to your headlights, its alot more expensive but the end result is much better.

While saying that, i still have seen some people pull of plug n play kits nicely when they can angle it right and use a glare guard.

 

hmmm... maybe i will just pick up some brighter fog lights lol

 

hids are bad ass they look nice on a car and light up alott more so id get em

 

id get em if i had the money to spend on them bc i'm blind and suck at night driving but until then my sylvania silverstars will have to do!


p.s.- my bday is coming up next month if you guys want to all chip in and buy me some!

 

$100 is not bad, IMO they are worth it.

 

you get what you pay for, more often than not, and $100 for an entire kit doesnt sound like the type of kit you want to waste $100 on...

but thats IMO

 

thanks guys.. .rep given

 

I hasd the same problem. So i bought some 12K Hids from Meccatune. They made about a 400% Difference in visibility. AS far as aftermarket kits blinding ppl, its gonna be the same as the factory. HIDS WORK BEST IN PROJECTOR BEAM HEADLIGHTS. If you aim the correctly then you wont have a problem. If you just stick them in a regular headlight, they arent as effective and can be annoying to passer-by's .

AS for the 100 Dollar kit, you get what you pay for. Most aftermarket kits are pretty cheap in quality. That why you have to find out who manufactures the parts for them. After i researched them i found that Meccatune (Has a 3 year warranty) was one of the best for aftermarket setups, have had mine for over a year no prob. and some other friends have them as well. They sell for 249.95 which isnt bad. Anyways good luck.

And if you do decide to get HID's then your gonna need to upgrade your factory wiring for the lights in order for them to function properly. You can buy the harness from most vendors when you order, very easy to do though.

 

Ive got hids on my crx and i love them. It was one of the best upgrades ive gotten. I will always have hids on all of my cars.
