Just f.y.i. All factory systems (ALL) use 4300k bulbs for maximum lumens output. If you *think* BMW's, Audi's, Mercs are blue/purple, it's because the colorband at the cutoff shield of their projectors is causing a slight distortion in the color. Some older cars with HIDs project a blue/purplish because their bulbs have colorshifted to higher temperatures. So there's your baseline in terms of color/performance.

Aftermarket HID kits do not have a standard gauge of temperature. What one vendor calls 6000k, another vendor may call 8000k. So keep that in mind.

 

^^ very true.

 

Where did you buy the kit from??? and how did you install it

 

If the lights only turn on when you click the high beams it means you tapped the wrong wire...since our cars have a 9007 bulb, that has both high and low, you need top the low beam wire.

The ground/3rd wire will not change, its the hot wire you have to change

Not sure about your other problem unless somehow it's connected to the bad wiring job...it's possible you moved something else when you were mounting it

double check your work or worst comes to worst just unplug the whole kit, and try your car then

 

i bought a few kits off ebay..all are great..

 

well 8000k is goin to be more of purple than blue... my car is white and im planing to get 6000k on it... its kinda white but has a touch of blue in it... here is a link that has HID for cheap

When I installed my HID KIt I lost my high beams all i have is low beam but its so bright and clear I realy dont need the high beams I contacted the company and they told me that I would loose the High beams

 

Yes, all the 03's came with the Hid's

 

well its been a couple weeks since I have installed my HID's and I notice that the passenger side lights look whiter than the driver side lights. Does anyone else have this problem? Why does it do this?

 

bought one on eay.. one side (bulb) lasted 8months.. i was gonna warranty it.. ut dint have the time and needed mylights asap.. ended up buying another kit off a local store..

i was happywith my ebay kit it was just that i prolly got a bad left side set..

 

So I'm new to the HIDs. I've been browsing on Ebay and found many different kits costing anywhere from $30 to $120 before shipping. Does it really matter because all of the kits look like they come with the same equipment?
