Thinking about getting this item i found on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

I know they are not true HID's but has anyone had any experience with them?

 

I would not do it, it may get the lenses too hot and melt, forget about the harnesses. 140 watts?! NO GOOD!

 

seems like crap to me....

 

hell man try it......people aks questions about that kit all the time and no one has tried it. be the geunny pig! if it starts to melt take it out it might acually be a good system. no one know, i doubt it but hell go ahead and try it.

but just to say nothing compares to a real hid

 

I doubt it will look anygood. Just save up for a real HID kit.

 

i doubt they will to but least once of the orgs questions will be answered.

 

Don't waste you money dude.

 

If you want better lighting, you simply HAVE to get HID.

 

hidforums.com

if you want something worth the money, read up on that forum.



That stuff just looks like crap...and consider the fact you're buying a 70 dollar "HID" lighting system while ppl have spent time and good money into theirs (300-500).

...altezza world? boooo

 

i would like to know if they work. i will not buy one cause i have hid's but i do wonder how and if they work good. i know it will not be like real hid but it could be an inprovment if it does not mely ****, which most likly it will.

it just looks kinda interesting

 

"Don't waste you money dude."

No! You don't waste ur money at all. You just get what you pay for. Yes, not thing can compare to HID, but it's way better than what so called Xenon or super white plasma bulbs that cost you $ 70-$80 buck; such as PIAA. I've bought lights from this seller twice, and I'm very pleasant to buy from him again in the future.

 

So you have this? If so, can you post pics of the light shineing on hte wall or ground?

 

yea i wanna see it if you have it.

 

this would be interesting...I would like to see this!

 

looks like junk to me... all it does is increase the halogen wattage which isn't safe... even 100/80w halogen bulbs aren't safe, eventually the stock 9004 wiring harness will burn out... don't waste your money.

i'd say, save up $300 for a McCulloch 5300k kit on eBay... u don't want anything over 6000k. Those HID kits are junk...

 

i'd take piaa's over these anyday.

 

Pretty much thats a bulb with a blue condom over it. No way in hell that "HID KIT" will have better lighting over a true HID kit.

 

yea go lower than 6000k i am at 6000k and i wish i was at 4100k cause it is not "as hey look at my hid's". and the light seems more useful.

 

Yeah! It looks like crap on my 95 due to the old yellowish lens and housing, but you will be surprise when you see it on my sister 03 Camry SE or my 2k-4Runner (Sold). I don't have a D-cam to to take a pic side to side with my other 2003 Max with REAL HID. I'll ask my boss to borrow the company D-cam tomorrow, then I'll need someone to post the pics for me, b/c I don't know how. Again, No things can compare to HID. So, save up for a real HID kit or just stop drinking at the bar one night and treat yourself a WANNA BE HID, atleast that's what I did.

 

try this site for the HID KITs

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that HID kit is absolutel garbage. That picture proves how much glare you sending off in every which way direction (more importantly, into the eyes of everyone coming at you).

HID KITS WITHOUT PROJECTORS ARE GARBAGE. YOU CANNOT USE THEM SAFELY IN A REFLECTOR HOUSING. CARS WITHOUT PROJECTORS AND HIDS INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY HAVE REFLECTORS SPECIFICALLY BUILT TO CONTAIN THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THEY PUT OUT. OUR HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR IT.

McColluch kits are CRAP. Do NOT buy them. They are one of the worst brands you could ever possible buy and I cannot believe people actually spend money on that sh|t.

Redteam I DARE you to take a picture of your beam pattern at night. Drive up to a white wall 15-20ft away and take a picture of the light against the wall. Seriously I dare you.

And I have to mention, you paid $389 for that crap? I paid $350 SHIPPED for TRUE HIDs out of a Mercedes, PROJECTORS AND ALL.

 

If you don't mind me asking formz, where the he!! did you get the e55s from? I've been looking friggn everywhere and no luck.

 

Email Davide Shannahan at ptcfact@bellsouth.net I got them from him, as well as a few of my friends as well. He's a great guy to do business with.

SO true. I had HID's in my car too. I am back to stockers and actually happier than when i had that massive amouont of uncontrolled light. Its all about quality verse quantity, but some people are just "blinded by the light" No pun intended.
