im trying to get HIDs 6000k or 8000k for my 2k coupe but im not understanding what exactly it is id be getting..... does it come with the housing or is it just the wires that go into my stock housing unit.... i want to get a black housing....
What exactly is it i am looking for???

 

HID kits just include the wiring, bulbs, and box that are needed to convert your regular bulbs to HIDs.

the headlight housing is a whole different thing

 

i was told that 4 a good kit im looking to spend about 250-500 everything ive found on ebay was about 50-80 bucks... what is the H3/4/5/6/7 ect about im lookin for 6000k can u make a recommendation?

 

I just ordered a HID kit for 170ish, yes the best kits are 400ish dollars, but i would never spend that much, I also wouldnt spend $80 on the ebay ones as i have seen some of those.

the H3/4 etc is the bulb size, your bulb sizes are 9006 low beam and 9005 high beam.

I ordered my kit off this website, http://www.ddmtuning.com/hidkihidbuhi.html

If you can wait a week or two i will have a review up about it.

 

yea i spent 250 on my kit it was priced at 300 its a xenon kit dont bother using ebay for HID's
ur gunna waste your money if you dont want to run into problems spend a little extra its worth it
BTW installation was a piece of cake dont get too worried

thnx guys... any recommendation on a decent black housing unit.... i saw some TYC,s that were pretty cool

 

also are projectors "brighter" than regular headlights with HIDs in them???

 

look at my pics for the TYC black projectors with an HID retro kit.

Projectors with stock bulbs = not as bright as the 80W/100W 9005/9006 setup that it replaced, but as bright if not a bit brighter with the HID kit.

I think the projectors would have been a bit brighter than the stock bulbs, but it's tough to say since I went from overpowered bulbs to the projectors.

 

with projectors in i wont be using 9006 bulbs anymore would i?... itll be like H1 or sumthin

 

Correct.
