What do you think of these HID's

[bullitt 5561]

I was thinking of ordering this HID conversion kit. Not sure why, I used to hate these, but my neighbor has a blown 99-04 with HID's and they look sick and are very bright. Will this for sure blind everyone in my path or can adjust these correctly. Take a look.

Well, I think that is the same place my brother bought his from. I know he said they were from Hong Kong and he got them in 2 days. If so, they are pretty darn bright. Real easy to install also. He got the 4300K kit. Looks sweet at night. I was thinking about getting them also but I don't want my fogs to be way off.

no one else, are they crap or should I go with Stangmod Blinders?

HID's in a halogen reflector headlight = GLARE

They look very nice I have the 8000k in my car and it looks amazing and they are very bright. Its pretty easy to focus them so you would be fine with that .

8k is not "bright." OEM cars use a 4300K bulb.

FWIW, the higher in the light spectrum you go (more K's), the less usuable light output you get.

Driving with 8 or 12K in rain or fog won't be much fun.

I got the 8000k for the looks and they are still alot brighter than normal halogen lights. I like how the blueish beam kinda matches my car

go with a trusted manufacturer and not an ebay store.

they aren't much more and i believe shipping is free so it would actually make them cheaper

If you put them in a stock headlight they will glare and blind people.


Some people don't care, but i've always considered doing this very selfish and inconsiderate of those who you share the road with.


I actually own an 8000K HID kit, but it's not installed for the above reasons. Maybe one day i'll do a HID projector retrofit and "do it right"

cool, i have 5000k with projector headlights in my car.

Get the 4200K temp... i wouldn't go above that.

Since this picture i brought new projector headlights and the spread is way better. I dont have a picture though. The ground is pretty much white with my new projector but still has abit of blueish which i hate. Im going to order a 1 piece set of projector headlights with a ultra clear lense so it only shows 100 % white on the roads. Thats another reason why my next pair will be 4200k's

You can see how much the hid spreads out compared to my halogen aimed the same- View attachment 391273

If those are in a halogen projector headlight, they'll still have glare but just not as bad as in a halogen headlight. They don't look too bad though if they are.

The only real way to have a true HID cutoff line is to retrofit an HID projector into your headlight housing.

yep, they have a small glare, but its not blinding to other drivers like a halogen housing.

The only real drawback I see is that the projectors don't have any width to them. There's also a hotspot in the middle, most likely again due to the halogen design.

But, overall it's much better than HID bulbs in the stock headlights.
