Need help HID's

Hey guys, I have a lancer 09 ES sport....im looking to purchase HID's ive been searching the forums and googling but since i dont know anything about cars and seeing that this is my first car lol idk anything about anything....can someone point me to the best HID kit for my ES...idk if they're hard to install or w.e case may be but i can get someone to do it for me....

Ive been reading and i see that DRL's which i now finally know what it means can cause issues on HID's can someone direct me to a fix, or what the best HID's that wouldnt cause any issues would be....in terms of spending Im looking good quality cheap price, who isnt, anyways ill spend I'd say around $200 for the lights maybe $300....but I'm looking for HID headlights and looking to decide wether HID foglights or xenon need help there...

also whats the best Cold Air intake to purchase for my car if someone can direct me ...and a website to purchase LED lights for the inside of my car...I had one but I lost the site...I'd appreciate the help im snowed in East Coast so trying to do alot of stuff today

$63.03 shipped for mine, anf I live in FL (theyre located in CA)

your low beams are 9006 connector. Get 35 watt for the low beam, 55 watt for highs.

also, I suggest 10K (nice blue) for the color for lows/highs, 3K for fogs (yellow)

lol what i said before IS the HID kit......i think you are talking about projector headlights....you dont need them, but they are a great improvement over straight HIDs, somethign about focusing the light better, idk much about them exactly, but all you neeed to HAVE HIDs is an HID kit, which is waht I mentioned earlier. your low beams are 9006, highs are 9005, fogs are H11

I don't think you need to worry about HID installation too much. It's pretty much straight forward. If you can install a cold air intake kit, then you can install a HID it. It's almost as simple as changing out your head light bulbs.

Try to spend time in figuring out what color you want. The higher the K, the more blue/purple your beam is going to be, but you're going to sacrafice brightness for color. Personally I think 6000K is about ideal. It has a cool blue light, with great intensity.

If you get the 35W HID kit, you won't need the installation kit. It's a direct plug and play. You'll need the installation kit only if you're going to run a 55W HID kit. Your head light connection is not going to be strong enough to power the 55W kit. Therefore the installation kit is designed to get power directly from the battery and uses the headlight connection as a On/Off switch.

I have been debating on 6000k or 8000k. do you have any night pics of your car with 6000k bulbs.

thanks
