RE: NEED HELP BEFORE DARRRRK! HID Install
i had an HID kit on my 300zx , as long as you dont go to onea of the NJ state inspection centers, and go to a privately owned one you should be ok. The official state station in edison i think failed me instantly, but then i went to a local shop that tunes mustangs and other domestics, i passed w/ no problem.

RE: NEED HELP BEFORE DARRRRK! HID Install
Man that is a nice kit...hey spartan will you take a pic of those for me at night? Those are very appealing considering the price...I might have hids sooner than I thought! Anyone have more descriptive pics of what the harness looks like now and how that is all hooked up? Any help appreciated!
I personally would probably go with the 6000k because I don't really like that blue blue blue look...but I'd like to see what they look like at night...wal-mart had the perfect bulb for my running light to replace that hideous looking yellow little bulb!

and if you blow a fuse in the process, #29 and #30 in the engine fuse box are for the lights.

SpartanX!
That looks great!
Does this kit cover both the low beam as well as high beams?
What are you going to do with your foglights? leave them as is?

Hey spartan you will be fine putting in whatever kind of lights you want in your fog lights...the headlights you can't put any other bulb in...personally I spent 40 on a set of sylvania silverstars for my fogs and got almost no difference...for 30 more bucks you'd be able to get another set of hids...I'd get those!
Hey spartan to be a pain in your ****...could you get some different shots like below the main beam above the cut off and what not...I really want to know what they look like...only cars I see with hids are either stock cadillacs or pontiac grand prixs which look like regular blue bulbs...I just want everyone to see the hids coming down the road because they look brighter than halogens...I also want them to appear stock and I'd imagine 8k wouldn't fill my wanting hids...also is the blue irritating after a while because it seems they are more blue?

Yeah that sucks man...hopefully they only get like 1k because to me 1500+ doesn't sound right...I know the car is awd and what not and it is a jag but 1k sounds cool...well good luck and I'd appreciate the pics....does the blue tint of the headlight irritate you? Well be driving to Madison Wisconsin in October to her brothers and well be driving at night...I have a feeling the 8k would get irritating after driving all night....

So from the sound of it I would have to do some cutting on the headlight wiring in order to get the kit to work properly?
What bulbs does this kit use I am really thinking this is the way to go. I just dont want to butcher too much up as far as the wiring is concerned.
THANX Again

The kit has an option of 6k, 8k, and 10k. I have 8k because the lumen output isn't too much dimmer than the 6k IMHO. There's a few cars with 8k stock, so that's what I went with. HOWEVER, 8k is as high as I would go. We've had this discussion here before about 10k+ and it's not recommended, as you won't be able to see anything. Not to mention 10k is just too much like a blue light.
I'll be posting more pix tonight so everyone can get a better idea of how 8k looks.
