I have some HID bulbs in my car. I got them from Wal-Mart or Autozone or somewhere. Anyway, I just put mine in like normal bulbs. They have lasted me about two years. They suck though as far light projection. I have to use my fog lights at night, and you can forget about having brights.

if you want true HID's buy the kit, dont to just bulbs, the bulbs will satisfy you for maybe a few days, after a while you will wish you have acual HID's.

Yeah, the kits run pretty high though. Otherwise I would have one already. I am probably going to put some regular bulbs back in mine.

they are bright blue, they are very easy to install, the balast plugs into your stock bulb holes, then the new HID bulbs slide into your original bulb spot, then you have to find a place to mount the balast, i have mine mounted behind the bumper.

what about fog light hids? I want hids but I don't want to have blue or white headlights with ugly yellow fogs, you'll def be able to tell the difference. Also, i've been looking at the zzp kit for a while. the kit says its 129, but then one of the options is BALAST ONLY (-$100) or SINGLE BULB ONLY (-$100). ??? What does this mean, you select single bulb or balast only and you only pay $29?? I dc about high beams, i live in the city so I can't use them. Does this mean i can just select single bulb? can any one explain both of these options for me please lol.

The Xenon's only have HID look, and they do just plug right in. It's what I've got, and they look good. But Buggy is right, you can forget about highbeams. Interestingly enough, I found out recently that when I turn my high beams on, my right headlight goes out. Weird...
Where did you get your bulbs, Boosten? I've been looking for some that look good with my Xenon headlights, but I can't find anything that doesn't give the ugly yellow.

I have HIDS in the headlights and fog lights, and love them. The ZZP kits are overpriced, just go on ebay and find them cheap, unless you want to spend the extra money.

Our bulbs have two filaments, one for high beams and the other for low beams. The filament for your high beams is out. Replace the bulb and it will be fine.

Yeah, i searched some old threads and saw the difference in silverstars and hids, which is exactly what I was looking for, and it 100% decided it for me, DEFINITELY going with HIDs. silverstars are still ugly yellow. The output is just a plus, I just want white light, not yellow. what is the upgraded harness? It is necessary for the fogs? have ur fog houses melted or did u modify them? I found this seller on ebay for a HID kit. It doesn't seem like a cheap chinese knock-off. What do you all think. Any one bought some off ebay and remember what seller it was? I'd like to get the kits from someone that I know sell good ones. These are the cheapest ones i've found but are made over seas. A bad idea?

my fog light housings have been fine with the HID's in there. The upgraded harness isnt neccesary, but some guys have had problems without it.
I got my headlights from your first link "HID kit". im not sure where the fog lights are from.
Never heard of the 2nd link, but if it gives you peice of mind, get the more expensive kit, i have had good luck with them.

I just got an email from the second company, their store is called mydepots.com. They can ship me 2 kits including shipping to canada for 135. Thats cheap...considering every ebay store wants 60 dollars to ship to Canada (which is ridiculous) and to get 4 silverstar bulbs will equal 135 after taxes. i think i'm gonna go with that.

I've been thinking about going HID I do have the silver stars in the headlights, and fogs but they seem to be expensive.....since I feel like I'm always getting new bulds ever 6-8months. I have a question about the HID kit on the 1st page. Does it come with everything I need to install? I know I have to disable the DRL's and the flashes for keyless remote. Do I have to know anything else?

HID's aren't meant to be flashed, or for the day time running lights....not good for the bulds.

can't you just replace the daytime runing light resister with a jumper? then they'll still get full voltage they need. I can see removing the flash, it's annoying anyway.

I'll replace it eventually then. Seeing as my high beams are worse than the regular (even when I had both), and looking at them, there was no difference, there's no point in using highs, so I'm in no rush to replace it. lol

they are worth the money. They are all pretty much the same kit, just make sure it comes with bulbs, ballasts, and the wiring. Should be under or around 80 shipped

8k are really blue. i have them in my headlights and i wish i had 6k's. I have either 5k's or 6k's (not sure of which, got them used) in my fog lights and they are really really nice.
4300 is the whitest/brightest you can get. the higher you go, the more blue and less light output

I just want to make sure I get as much light out as I can, and not make it look crazy blue. As far as fogs what did you get to make it appear like HID's?

my fogs are actual HID's, they dont just appear to be. 4300 will get you the most light output, 6k will give you a bluish tint, with a little less light output

I found this for you. Scroll down a bit and you will see AustinGTP's pic, its a good reference. Can really tell the difference between silverstars and HID's. I havent found any pics of fog HID's but imagine they'd be the same colour...use your imagination

Okay well I'm gonna get the 9007 6000k HID kit on the 1st post.....does anyone think that's a bad idea? As for my fogs.....which route should I go with? Also does that zzp kit have a warranty? How long do the bulbs last for?

its not a bad idea to get the black-outs if you want them. yes, i would fix the leaks but that will take like what, an hour? get hids, you'll be happy. look at the pics, they are much brighter, much more unique, much less ugly yellow and they are only about 20-30 more than silverstars or equivalents.

I havent had problems with them melting with mine. I know a lot of guys that dont upgrade the housings. But for piece of mind it might be a good idea.

Hey Guys...when You can, try Sylvania's 9007SU Ultra-White & for the Fog lights 880ST...I was told by the Dealer, that those are the Brightest I could get, without spending over $100.00
Now, I will be Honest...I haven't Try them as of yet, but I will for the summer when I decide to dress-up the GP...they cost about $39. or $49.00 but it's a lot cheaper than $100.00
So, if $100.00 is a bit much right now, You can Try those & let Us know if You like them. I can't Promise You that they will be Blue-ish, but they claim those are pretty Bright (Of course they will Not compare to the "Full HID Kit" with the Ballast)...but, ZZP sells some for like $12.00 - 80/100 watts & so does PFYC for about $39.00 But, personally...I feel that the Sylvanias' at PFYC would be Better.
Or, Check with Your local "Parts Store" to see if they carry those, learn about them & check the price.

I have Silver Stars (ultras aren't worth the $10 for a minimal upgrade over standard) and they probably are the brightest stock lights you can buy.

i kinda have some confusion with the angel eyes. can you use hids with angel eyes? cause I just bought HIDs for my fogs but also like the look of angel eyes.they also have glass lenses I believe so it would be safer than the plastic stockers. so can you use HIDs with angel eyes?
