question regarding HID's

[mikul]

hey ozhonders.

i was just wondering if i was to get a hid kit for my dc, the kit will only come with 2 bulbs. if i want all my lights to have the white/blueish effect .. then what wuld i need for my high beams ? ..i wuldnt wanna buy 2 sets of kits ><".
can someone give me some advice on what i should do ..or should i just keep the high beam standard and just change the lows.

thanks for reading :)

just get 5000k high beam light bulbs, not worth goin HID for them

Only low beams should be running HIDs, the high beams should remain halogens.

The reason being HIDs need to warm up before they get to the maximum brightness so they are useless as high beams.

oh ok . well does anyone know where is a good place to hide the ballasts in a dc2 ?

[krispykreme]

could possibly hide them under rad support, thats where mine are :P

you can get Bi Xenon Hi/Lo Beam HID Conversion Kits on ebay for like $110, sounds like youd be after 6000k globes

Hide them in your fenders ;) might need to do some wire extending on the wire that goes to battery, but the final product really does look fly

u can get a hi/lo hid kit set it costs a little more but if u just get hid kit itl be brighter then ur highbeems anyway so u can get hi n lo...and run it off 1 bulb

Now days with all the cheapo china kits on eBay I recommend you go 8000k for a good clean white with the slightest big of blue, because many eBay 6000k kits the colour temps are over rated and turn out greenish.

Alternatively do what I did buy boiler purple 30,000k HIDs lol they look ridiculous!

ok so i've installed the HID's already .. its so bright that the light is coming though from underneath where my front bar is ... is that normal ? o.O
lol

you might need to adjust it, make sure it cuts of @ your knee when your standing about 1metre away from your car or there abouts.

Seems like you haven't covered the back of it properly so it's emitting light around your engine bay.

lol @ everyone here saying that the guy needs a hi/lo kit.. So clueless..
