    I had been waiting these for awhile... they were at port waiting to get let into America. Then they came in and I was in the cities... well today Shane @ tintmasters put them in. One of the best mods I have done. :cool:

    Here is a pic I took midway through the install...

    oh you can... I'm pretty sure they can get a kit for any vehicle. Price is really reasonable too.

    Did they have to peal off your existing tint and retint? If so, can you pm me how much they charged you?

    so did the kit come with new housings or are you using the factory halogen housings... did they figure out a way to control the beam patern... a while back i put 2 audi hid's in my car and the result was blinding othere drivers

    ^^^^ But did you re-adjust your lights after you installed the hid's? I am running jdm projectors (rhd) and I don't blind on-coming traffic. it is all about how you adjust your lights. Even adding a higher wattage bulb to the stock housing will effect how the light comes out of it.

    I am wanting to upgrade to HID's as well, if you could let me know how much they cost and how you went about ordering them that would be great.

    thanks

    The thing about using HID in the stock bugeye light housings isn't the aiming, it's the scatter. If the kit has a reflector that fits in there and fixes that somehow, then it would be great, otherwise, just a bulb conversion is going to have major nasty light scatter that will be blinding to other drivers.

    This is why factory HID lights are in projector-type housings.

    It's 400 or 350 if you want to do a 10 person group buy. One year warranty.

    You can pick up a set of X5 HIDs (the ones me and driftin240 are using) for super cheap.

    Check www.hid-lights.com and Click X5 8000/9000k

    They can do a group buy also. 169 for a single set. And if you order 3 sets you get 10 dollars off each one. Also, a one year warranty from hid-lights.com
