HID Conversion Kit

[Ldub]

What Triathlete means by BAD is, cheap/poorly designed HID kits are bad...the good stuff, like what Tone is currently selling, are great & when properly aimed, there are no issues with oncoming traffic.
I've met countless police vehicles at night & have never been "flashed" (hi beams) or pulled over.

tysamigo,

I agree with Ldub, if you are going to go with HID - either go with Tone or a local reputable dealer who will be there to help you out and provide excellent warranty service like Tone. Those cheap one on ebay may fire up a few times, but I can see them dying fast. Either the ballast will go or the bulbs will die (I'm pretty sure Xenon bulbs have a finite number of times they can fire up as a piece of metal is used up over time as it ignites the gas- like a cig-lighter flint). Then you're probably paying top dollar for replacements - IF you can find them.


HIDs are one of my favorite Mods because it brings the headlight technology up to date with the styling. I think it helps make the car look more like a 2007 or 2008 model. A few cops here I've talked with think the HIDs are stock because the truck looks so new.

As for blinding, I've been blinded numerous times by BMW and Acuras with stock HID - and these are lower cars, so I'm not worried about that issue. But re-aiming is quite easy.

Colour may be an issue, however, too blue or purple might get you into trouble with the law. Tone's diamond white are perfect I think (5500K ?), I have 6500K and they have just a hint of blue.

Good Luck.
