The guys over there would know more and could tell you a kit that would look nice and require little to no cutting at all... But if you go that route the HID kit is included in the price

No you will still have your lows. You will just have much more usable light to work with. But the biggest downside to HID's is glare. Which to combat this people tend to lower the lights a little below the stock height. Here's a look at mine. Kits were purchased at:

#1 Reseller of HID Conversion Kits and HID Kits since 2001!


I have 4300K for my lows and 3000K for my fogs with painted yellow lenses:






There not cheap but the quality and customer service of XenonDepot is one of the best out there. You'd be looking at $120... I may be able to get you a 25% off coupon code. I will have to talk to Steve... Can get you an answer later tonight. Generally if you aim your lights right and there not blue/purple cops won't bother you.

As for your highs. The reason you don't want HID's for highs:

1) Depends if you have DRL's that run on the highs. As HID's are designed for constant 12v. They do not run and can be damaged with lower voltage.
2) With HID's it takes time to warm up. So any kind of flashing can damage the bulbs.



I take it you wan't to have the most usable light. So I suggest either 4300K or 5000K as these are the highest lumen count you can get.


Most kits are PNP (plug and play) and are very easy to install into your vehicle. You can expect 30min to 1hour depending on how easy it is to get to your bulbs. Feel free to PM me with any more questions... I should be back from classes around 4 and should have an answer for you

I know that they are aimed differently than the hi-beams but I'm curious. I don't need a fking DUI because some cop see me with bright lights and assumes they are my hi-beams and pulls me over one night.

don't go there lol. Lots of people have recommended them and I have no clue as to why lol.

its pretty easy imo. Basic electrical and mechanical since and an hour of time is all it takes

wtf is dmm tuning and what does installing a HID kit like the one you linked above entail?

eBay My World - pay4less888

they ship from the states, so no waiting 3 weeks to get your chit like other people, and I quite happy with the quality of the bulbs compared to other sets I've had.

You could prolly get a basic 35w kit for you car for 50shipped. If you really like, or they die you can upgrade later and you didn't waste a bunch of money. Plus you can sell local and make you're money back.

I've used HIDextra before, not the highest quality, but quick shipping and they try to make you happy..



again fawk DDMtunning
