New HID kit

Someone should try putting 3000k kit into the fog lights. Would make a pretty cool contrast with 600k or 8000k in the headlights.

Same bulb 9007 but the Hi/Lo kit comes with an actuator inside the light bulb that will slide the bulb in or out (can't remember) to shift the beam of light inside the halogen lens which.

It's a single bulb that shifts the light beam.

This is 9007 Hi/Low HID bulbs

Watch at the 0:47 mark it's real quick where you can see high beam flick

That's what I thought.

You need to do it the RIGHT way and get a HID kit that has two 9007 bulbs in the same socket, one for Hi, one for Lo and 4 ballasts.

Actually the right way would be to retro fit a projector with an HID bulb. Real HID projectors do not change the power/light output, when high beam is activated a shield inside the projector moves down and allows more light to pass through, that's why real hid vehicles have a very defined light cut off. This is only the cause with Bi-Xenon projectors in which the vehicle does not have a halogen high beam setup.

HID Lights

Thanks for all the great discussion on the HID lights. You have convinced me to dumpt the halogens. I ordered a kit today. Can't beat that sale price. :)

Sorry for the lack of update but the damn fog lights are a pain in the ass. Seems you have to cut up the stock connector and glue it together to the h1. Then you have to pull the fog light housing out and maybe modify it to carefully insert the hid bulb if you don't want to break it. I still haven't found time to finish them.

I should of listened to the one guy who said a 9006 fits with only cutting a tab off, stupid me..:mad2:

Heres my MM with 8k & stock fog lights before I butchered them. The car behind has 10k hids.

Heres the Ninja done with 8ks, I also added a blue nose bulb, looks damn good.

I just put my kit in today. Does anyone else have an issue with only one headlight turning on sometimes?

Double check all your connections. I used the passenger plug for the main turn. If you still have the problem switch the bulbs from each side, if the bulb that worked works in the other side but the other side doesn't then it is a bulb issue if there is no difference and the same side lights up it's the ballast.

Did you order a single beam kit or the high/low kit?
 
I also used the passenger plug. I'm going to check all connections again. I ordered the hi lo kit. Other than that they look great at night. Ill post pics tonight

Not true you still have to modify the housing, yes a tab is removed but the bulb is still to wide to fit. At least the standard halogen bulb is, not sure about a HID bulb.

Just a very BIG tip to anyone that has HIDs in their headlights DO NOT turn them ON and then turn the car ON. Doing can spike the voltage to the ballast and over time it will burn the ballast out.

Always turn them on AFTER the vehicle has been started so for everyone that leaves your lights on AUTO I would advise against it. Just a helpful tip, not that it's happen to me but just something I have been told as a wise idea to prolong the life of the equipment.
 
Soooo....are there no negative comments for these lights....if so I can smell a new item being added to my christmas list :D

Only negative thing I have is that the positive and negative for high/low beam are reversed with this kit but I figured that out and was simple to correct. Other than that no complaints from me about it.

Since i dont feel like reading 10 pages, has anyone else had this issue with reversed wires?


I'm probably going to be ordering this kit for the truck, if it breaks im blaming you :P

It sounds like they are better than the $60 HID kits my friend got for his crown vic off ebay, sometimes they wouldnt want to turn on lol
