is it worth spending money on HID brands like MTEC or McCulloch? I have an 08 accord coupe and I have been looking for an HID kit for some time but I want something thats reliable. I'm willing to spend $300 but I've read that the "good" brands aren't worth it for many reasons.I'm looking for some 8000k's and if anyone could help me out and give me some info ide appreciate it.

 

i got mine from here and i am very happy with them

i got mine from the same place rice did and havent had problems so far, my mech that put them in even said they were decent quality

 

yeah i was impressed with the quality, i had to strip one of the wires and had a hard time doing it because there was such a good coating on it

 

How much did your mechanic take to install them?

 

i had a wiring issue with the right headlight so to trouble shoot it, fix the problem and install it ran me 145 but jus t 2 put them in would have been like $50ish its really not hard 2 install but my mech had 2 b in there anyway so i let him do it

 

yeah its really not hard, if you can hook hook speakers up to a home stereo you can install HIDs

 

I'm a pretty hands on guy with furniture but Electrical stuff is not my calling lol. I'll take it to the mechanic.

 

BTW, does anyone know if pepboys will install them?

 

I put HIDs in myself - very easy / plug and play - EBay specials and they work.

I went with 6000K and they already have a "fake" look to them.

The 4300K to 5000K are brighter and look better.

I bought the 50W ones but I would buy the 35W next time; they are plenty bright and last longer.
