Ebay HID kits Options

[Tony-94]

Ebay link

Thinking of upgrading to HID. These seem a reasonable price, anyone know if they are any good though?

[Tony-94]

Guess not?

[LeonStryfe]

Too pricey for me >_>

[djspike]

HID are nice, The kit that I have came from a group buy here and I paid about $250, I dont know the quality of the HID on ebay. but 189 is not bad for a set, assuming its good quality.

[Akira_g4]

^^^^I'd agree, 189 for a HID kit is a pretty good price but quality wise i have no idea. I went and got mine for 235. Loved it ever since.

[Tony-94]

thanks for the opinions guys, the seller reckons they have been reduced from a higher price - might be good quality if true... either way I'm keen to get HID. The low beams on the gen 6 are pretty poor at night even with decent bulbs.

[celicast3sgte]

I would like to get some projectors and an HID kit. gotta keep up with my buddies (06' EVO9 MR, 04' STi)

I'm in contact with the manufacturer of those HID's on Ebay. they said that if I can get 10 people together we can get them for 140 but I don't know if that includes shipping.
I sent a PM to Coomer about starting a group buy for those HIDs if anyone would like to be in it start a list, an I'll try to get as much info from them as I can.

hell yeah bro....thats so rare the purple hids! I dont get how you order diffrent temps on ebay hids they offer everything thing i but dont see how you can order a certain temp.

[chacha]

you have to tell them what you need...the temp and everything else, you have to submit it in once you finished with the ordering..

[celica47]

Oooh ok.....i've thought about getting 12K but i got projectors and they already blind people i,would hate to draw more attention to my self.

From what I have seen the Higher the temp doesnt mean the brighter it is.
I have a 6000k, it has nice blue tint to it and its nice and bright. My friend has a 4000k and its more white then blue and is brighter then mine. I have seen around a few cars with a purple HID and they arent very bright and very hard to see in the rain.

I recommend 6000k

[Culpable04]

^ true ! plus the higher the temp the less the life of the sistem.
but I'll ask for what you guys want cause at the end we all have diferent tastes.

[chacha]

good conclusion...differ taste!

[Velliety]

I'm in for a set - I'd prefer the 6000K.

if we get close to 10, i'd be interested for some. if not for me, for me to sell to my friend with projectors on his eclipse.

[chacha]

LoL. No I'm saying that this is a good chance to get HID for cheaper. But that link links to the best HID bulb on the market. But the only thing I'm concerned about is the grade material of what they will be using to make the kits for us. It probably isn't the highest considering that it's only 140 bucks. If you would match those kits to real HID kits, would they be same? That's my concern.

[chacha]

good thought...im not sure...it's true, but what is the material "PIAA" is using...and i need more info why we should go with something like that...can someone also talk to this company...autobarn to see if we can get a good deal for HID KITS (group buy)??

[chacha]

now im having second thoughts...remember that saying..."you get what you pay for..." well, anywho, i stumble across this:
GERMAN HID KIT

Do you think this is legit...

[chacha]

okay...im really thinking too much here...i saw the kit...and then there's the Conversion Kit....which one is it that we need and do explain the differences between each for me...plz...

[Supersprynt]

Hella is some of the best, if you have the $350.

Kit, Conversion kit, same thing.

my last comment here....check out the info about hid and lights in general...talks about the looks of how the lights beam out and where you want to go in the ranges of 4000K+...i thought this was very interesting...

and I asked them about the diferent color options, too.


Yes,sure,you can pick the color temps you like,the price is the same for
different color temps.

the funny thing is that the price does not include shipping, but I think we'll get it for the same 140

I told them on my reply that if it's not 140 shipped we can't make it, so I'm waiting for a reply.

[Culpable04]

well, I got the answer from them and the price will be 140 SHIPPED, but only if we get at least 10 people. If we don't get 10 people I still can order sets for us but I'll be a lil more ~ 20-30 more dollars but we don't wanna get there.

I'm gonna start a new thread for this so everybody can get the message.
