Stephen Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 good luck with the cheap HID kit.. You will be buying another set with a couple months cuz the on's you got now are cheapies Hopefully the cops dont bug you either for them, anything above 10k is illegal in all states.. When these puke you should really buy from future vision hid! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...p?showforum=142 And all smd members get a 10% discount. Well worth the money, they are the best kit i had so far, and havent failed me once yet! hid is illegal if it is not OEM to the car Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

t-money Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 This is what I was basically trying to say in my previous post lol I seen those plug n play kits on ebay for like $100I found this on ebay for roughly $77. Does yours look anything like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-9006-HB...sQ5fAccessories The thing is with my Impala, it has day running lights. Not sure if the HID's turn on during the day because if they do, they'll burn out faster. normal halogen last 400 to 600 hours i believe. and hid last around 24thousand hours. idworry about the transformers giving out first Quote 2002 ford focus hatch pioneer DEH-P8400bh infinity kappa 6.5 components front and rear XS Power D1200 Shuriken BT-100 audioque 120.4 2 15 inch audioque HDC3 D2 2 audioque 2200d big 3 mechman 220a alt with external regulator 479-418-3056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k3n12ock Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 You have daytime running lamps? If you do, does it use the "other bulbs" ?

audiofanaticz Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 hid is illegal if it is not OEM to the car unless they are DOT approved... If you wanna get tideious (sp) any mod you do to the vehicle that isnt factory is illegal. (ie mud flaps lol) but with a 12 k kit, which is pratically purple, your gonna draw lots of attention to yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 id worry about the transformers giving out first Thats the biggest problem with these cheap flea bay kits. The ballasts crap out. Either because they are made with cheap parts and cheap quality, or they are not weather tight. After your kit blows, and you buy another, you could of spent that money and got a decent kit from the get go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie mud flaps lol) but with a 12 k kit, which is pratically purple, your gonna draw lots of attention to yourself. lights might be appoved by DOT but most people put them in a housing that is also DOT approved but for halogen. anyways halogen projectors with hids are better than halogen reflectors with hids Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

Well worth the money, they are the best kit i had so far, and havent failed me once yet! Futurevision is incredibly overpriced, even with the 10% bullshit, I'm not really about all that... I tend to believe you get what you pay for but I have installed several plug n play HID kits and when it comes down to it, all the ballasts are made over seas and the 65 dollar ones hold up just as well as the 160. Bulbs are a bit of a different story but either which way HID headlights are very affordable these days. Edit- And stephen what are some cars out there with Halogen projectors, I almost want to say the 04-07 denali's have them?
