CLICK

you can choose from 35w or 55w

i have the 55w system. like stated on the site, the color gets washed out a bit with the 55w stuff. most OEM stuff is 35w

good luck

Seems like a good deal, what would I have to do to wire them up to my 05 ZX3? Also, I was gonna get the pure white lights, any reason not to go with 55 watt? Will I melt my housings?

Thanks,
Josh

^^ If you dont have projectors then dont get them.....end.

If you have projectors 55 watt will be brighter but IMO unless your 05 headlights are retrofitted then you should be going with 35 watt as aftermarket headlights have enough issues using them right.

I don't have projectors, why are they necessary for HID's? My buddy put a set in his Sentra SE-R and they look fine, nice and bright. My neighbor has done the same with his Civic SI and they're crazy bright. I've read up on the topic, HIDs run cooler than a stock halogen bulb, so no worries about burning the headlight enclosure. So what's the big deal? I'd imagine the light coming from the HID bulb is nearly the same as a stock halogen, only brighter.

 

[Sn4ckM4st3r]

Very VERY wrong.

I work with headlights. I do alot of lighting and i retro my own.

Headlight are designed to reflect the light. In this the case the bulb design is made for light to come out and be thrown by reflecting it.

In a HID setup the bulb is a tad longer and bears the element outside the bulb. While it may run cooler when inserted in a reflector housing creates immense glare and the cut off is a very VERY skewed line of light on a wall as that is how a halogen does it. Also you would need a Bi-Xenon menaing poor halogen high with a xenon HID low. Bad setup with glare and terrible light out put.

The projectors are designed to take the HID's light and do just that. Project it. In a crisp cut off of light with very very little glare to on coming traffic. With a projector the light will not be scattered into oncoming traffics eyes.

And car with the exception of very few uses a projector for HID's and the ones that don't have specifically designed headlights for it. The most recent i have seen in person the new Shelby Mustang.

for the safety of oncoming traffic...

no projectors? NO HID!

i hate drivers that throw these HID kits in normal reflector housings and think they have superior lighting. you are blinding us!

Although I have the same views as these guys I have seen a few run hid's in ST170 headlights and had a pretty good cutoff line. But most don't and the glare is horrible.... Don't do it.

 

[fullyFOUCUSED]

so in other words buy projectors first and then buy the hid bulbs? right

I got mine from Unique Coatings & Automotive Lighting Specialties under the vendors list from cbrenn71. Had it installed since May and no problems so far *cross fingers*. Came with relay, lifetime warranty, and a cool miniature briefcase. Ooooh Ahhhh. Plus Chad was good to deal with. Its an Oracle brand.

 

[Sn4ckM4st3r]

Yes buy projectors first.

Buy the HID from where you want. We linked them 99 shipped with a lifetime warranty. If chad can beat that more power to him but i havent seen him beat that price yet.
