HIDs

[MZ-N10]

i have a hid low/halogen highs and its one of the best mods ive done(rite next to rearview camera). make sure u check ur local law to make sure hids r legal. ive had a few friends pulled over for illegal hids in CA.

MZ still can't type using complete words.... guess he never will.

Technically it is illegal to change to HIDs if the vehicle didn't come with them but with a clean install, no one would know, certainly not the popo. There is talk about excessive glare because the reflector was not designed for the HID but what they don't understand is that the arc that produces the light is in EXACTLY the same place as the filament in the quartz bulb. Plus our enclosures have reflectors in front of the light source to control glare there. I seldom was hi beamed with correctly aimed lights. Once you have HID, you'll never drive with quartz 'candles' again.

ok, I hate to be the noob, and I feel embarassed to even ask it. But I will be the last to feign being a "car-guy" or knowing car jargon ("cargon" if you will). Anywho...HIDs...what technically are they?

I've seen the mod on Tones site and wondered this for a while, but this thread has really piqued my interest.

There are lots of places on the web dedicated to HIDs, here is one to start you off: http://www.hidplanet.com/main.html

Ok, correct me if i'm wrong, so there are basically 3 different setups for the HID.

1. Low beam HID
2. Low Beam HID and High Beam Halogen
3. Low and High Beam HID

1. If the above is true, which one will fit the Vx
2. Tone, which one do you sell.
3. Is it a direct swap, remove the old bulbs, replace the new bulbs?

Thanks for the Info.
