HID Conversion?

I really want to add some BRIGHT HIDs to my car. What kinda do you suggest? Where to get them from?

Yes, I searched. But, all of it was old, just trying to get some more recent advice!

If you want bright HIDs, get 55W ones. The stock HIDs in most cars are 35W, so 55W would give you better output. If you want to know where to get some, just send me a PM and I'll link you.

^^ About as useless as wanting "Bright HIDs" for the coolness factor. I'm sure someone will come back with "brighter HID's so you can see better" retort, but we all know it's for the coolness factor. There are other options besides just putting the brightest HID's into your headlights so you can see better.

-Maybe your headlights aren't aimed properly.
-Maybe the housing is dirty and needs cleaned.

Etc.

Okay moron. I drive on a lot of dark roads in the middle of no where, and im tired of turning my brights on and off when cars around.

and 15hp? Dang, I was only thinking 10. Do I have to be tuned for this?

-Maybe the factory halogens suck?
-Maybe you should contribute some useful info?

Anyway, try these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Super...mZ330266034905

They is cheap yo' but they actually look nice. The difference in the added visibility is huge. I have them in TSX projectors but are nice with stockers too.

I want HIDs for coolness so take that coolkid.

A car with HIDs looks 100x better than one without them.

I just swapped out my stock HIDs with some 8000k HIDs from ebay. I think they were like 35 or 40 bucks shipped. All the need is d2s bulbs
