well.
it all depends on what you are attempting to accomplish.

if all you are looking for is a cheap way to get blue lights, then find whatever e-bay kit and spend less than 100 bucks.

If you are wanting a quality setup with a much higher light output, then you're going to be spending several hundred bucks.

Almost all HID bulbs will be fine. The keys are proper secure mounting of the Ignitor NEVER touch the bulb at all when installing, and make sure that the wires are properly cover and not exposed.


The main thing is that you need to make sure you are putting HID's in a projector housing and not just into a standard headlight like all the ricer Honda kids where you get no usable light because it isn't directed properly. HIDPlanet.com should help too.

yeah, you have a lot of research to do if you think 6000k is super white.

anything over 4300k starts to turn blue.

6000k is actually the light(er) blue headlights you see on the road.

Get on HIDplanet and learn something, then decide where to spend your money.

just because the kit you are buying costs more doesn't mean it is any better than the cheap crap.
That's Marketing 101. the price is the first thing that a customer uses to determine overall value. "well if it is more expensive, then it must be better right?"
We've all been around long enough to know that simply isn't the case.

Do your homework or end up like every other ricer with a crap ebay kit and blinding, glaring, crappy head lights.
