HID Kits for the FD 2008

[bernstar69]

Hi guys, im thinking of getting a HID kit for my stock headlights on my 2008 FD. But i recently heard from a friend that they are 'illegal'/ something along the lines of without a projector. Can anyone point me to a legal HID kit or 'blue lights' or some sort?

Without projectors your light will just disperse everywhere and blind oncoming drivers. Its illegal without projectors but most people still do it anyways, rare chance that you'll get done for it though.
Have you ever came across a car with really bright white lights that is pretty much hitting your face and makes you squint your eyes? well there you go, high chance that those are people with HID's without projectors.

ADRs states that vehicles equipped with HID lighting systems must have auto-leveling and washers.

ANYWAYS if you're looking for HID's with a tint of blue go for 8000k and above. Different companies vary, Im running 6000k on my s15 (they're white) i also have 8000k but to me they were a bit too blue. Just make sure you adjust it and point it downwards.
If i recall HID's for FD's for low beam are HB4 and foggies are H11 (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

If you don't wanna be a dick with HIDs just go with Philips Diamond white lights, white light with hint of blue.

HID's on our FDs are overkill and very blinding from the front and rear view.

I recommend the crystal visions, diamond visions are more whiter looking but they're hard to see with in the rain

I have 6000k HIDs in mine, I found the stock head lights too dim so I made the switch and am very pleased with them. Just be sure to adjust them properly so you don't blind other motorists.

Through my experiences Anything between 6000k and 8000k is the best for our headlight.
Im currently using 10,000k after my 8000k blew. And i kind of regret getting 10,000.
Its just blue and the distance isnt as far. Thats the shit thing about HIDs in a non-projected housing.
The higher you go the shorter the distance is.

@Dori*mon
Did you take your bumper off for the install?

[curtis265]

looks like it... lol!

Yup, did fog lights too and had to re fit the bumper anyway as I had some pushed out clips.

If the FD takes H7 bulbs.
you can use HIDs without the glare.

But you will need H7R bulbs.
These bulbs have tape on the top to cut out the glare

But stick with halogens.

[curtis265]

it takes HB4

[Grayfox]

You'll need these.

Honestly.. Man. Just do it. Dont worry about asking if they're illegal and all that.
Yes they are illegal but the chances of you getting pulled over and being defected for HIDs are VERY slim.

They only reason they will pull you over is if your lights are pointed up and blinding oncoming traffic.

Worse comes to worse and you have it pointed down and not driving like an idiot they will let you off with a warning..

I've never hear of someone getting a fine or a defect purely because of their HIDs

Also don't get something that is obvious.

Keep the color close to OEM, avoid those stupid 8,000K bulbs.
