HIDs or HIRs??

[zebra]

thanks a bunch, Christian. they came in today while i was at work. everything seems to be in good order (except that i need to find a ring terminal to ground my relay harness - there wasn't one there after the extension got soldered on). the even better news is that i just found out i've got tomorrow morning off, so i'll actually have time to put them in before next week.

i decided to do a quick plug-n-play on one side whilst there was a smidge of daylight left & WOW what a difference! it made me realize even more how bad i need to clean the inside of the projector lenses.

thanks for putting up with eleventy billion PMs - you're a good person to buy from.

I wish I got a bonus for this sale lmao.

so i got them installed today & they definitely make a world of difference. the only complaint i have is that Duct_tape said these would be whiter than usual kits, but they're definitely just as blue as every other 35W 6000K kit i've seen, which ain't what i wanted.

Sorry about the harness, I custom make them and must have forgot to put the ring terminal on. If they are too blue I will exchange them for a set of 5000K bulbs, just pay shipping. Just let me know what you want to do. Get some pictures!

considering the only camera i have access to ain't all that great and trying to get a decent white balance & exposure was a real pain, here's a couple quick shots...




i added in my fogs for color comparison - 55W H3 halogens
but ya know what? after lookin at these 6000Ks for a while tonight, i reckon i'll stick with them. they ain't blue enough to be annoying - just a little more than i was expecting.

the color they look in the dark picture is what i was going for, but they're actually slightly more blue than they look with the flash.
i tried to get a few shots against a wall, too, but none of them turned out right - it's almost 0200 & i'm really tired, so i quit trying.

don't worry about the ring terminal, i'll pick one up at the hardware store later (surprisingly i ain't got none laying around, but i did have an extra scotch-lock for now)


ps - yeah... i know my 194s are faded as all get out. i'm fixin to replace all the corner bulbs when i do my DRL -> blinker mod

They look good bud.

That looks sick! The 6000Ks are a little bluer at first, but as you get some use out of them they will become more white. Let me know if you need anything else!

way on down the list is doing a HID conversion on my fogs too...

I bought my hids at ddmtuning.com also! I am very satisfied with them. Good product and great price.

i actually ended up getting mine from Duct_tape123. almost 2 weeks in & no problems so far. i'm almost wishing i'd went ahead & got a 55W kit, but these are still a huge improvement over the halogens
