    Which HID setup to use

    Which HID Kit is the best to use and could i use them in my headlights without having to fit a projector in there? Also has someone done a write-up yet on how exactly you wire all this together?

    you dont need a projector..

    if you have OEM housing you need a 9006 capsule.
    projector housing = h3
    jdm housing = h4

    ill write more when i get out of class..

      Hm...well I am assuming that you already used the search feature using HID* as your search word. Most HID kits are plug and play though and come with all necessary wiring and even instructions. You can use your OEM housing as rebels has described. Just make sure you get a 9006 HID capsule. Honestly though there are a number of HID kits out there. I had one at one point and it is much brighter than stock, but not nearly as luminous as my retrofit.

        true, but you'll look like a rolling stadium with flood lights everywhere and just blind on coming traffic.

            Well, that's for two reasons, 1- most people have gotten use to HIDs being so bright and your average driver has no idea how HID lighting works, they just know expensive cars have them. Most think its a bulb you can buy at Walmart, and dont even bother anymore.

              if you adjust your lights correctly and install the kit correctly, you won't get anyone to flash you. you can also get the reflective shields that reduces the glare problem.

              i would say use the HID's in a stock housing or JDM housing.. don't use aftermarket projectors.

                    All OEM manufactures, BMW, Acura, Cadi, Ferrari, Lambo, Mercedes, Ford ect use 4300K from Phillips or Osram/Sylvania. Anything above 4300K is worthless, you lose lumens the higher you go up in the scale. In other words, you won't see jack shit like you would with the 4300K. You would actually see better with the Slyvania Silverstars.
