one of my headlights is all messed up and i was thinking of going ahead and doing the HID conversion (Phillips) i know it's expensive... but hey... true HID is nice am i right?... just wondering if anyone out there has done the conversion... and if so how do you like it? worth it or no? thanks...

 

I have the philips kit on my 98 SE and it is great. However, you might have to adjust your headlight beam once you install it. I had to pull it down a bit because i was blinding oncoming traffic. Now i have the HID KIT installed with AQUA BLUE CAPSULES. The color is white/blue. It will not look like OEM HID color if you choose to upgrade, but the road output is awesome. You will see the road reflectors light up farther and all the road signs. Its a great improvement although you will lose high beams. If you want TRUE HID color than you need to purchase the AQUA BLUE CAPS straight from JAPAN.

 

is the hanabi 6000k kit true HID?

 

Just get the Hanabi kit from Freddie (97GLES). I have it and I love the light output. The color is about as blue as a Mercedes CL600 or the new Acura CL-S. The kit sells for about $440

 

How much is the Philips kit? ... just for comparison

 

Hanabis acually make all the other stock HID's look white.

 

can someone explain what these lights do exactly.....are the replacements for the regular halogens or are these made to be used with the kits?

 

those replace regular halogens u can tell cuz it says 9007 on them

 

Not make to be used with HID kits. Our bulbs are narrower and longer than regular bulbs. Plus, there no blue tint on the glass.
