Opinions & Pics on Best HID Kit for 00-01 I30
For those of you who love HID headlights, I'd love to know what are some of the best quality kits available these days. I'd love to see you guys post some pics of your HID's in action. I'm in the market for a good kit myself and would love to see what others are doing. At the same time maybe we can get good ol' competition goin' with whose headlights look the sweetest.
ps...doesn't have to be just 00-01 I30's either. Thanks!!

www.hid-online.com has some really nice, all Philips kits. I've had them installed for over a year and a half now without any problems. The output and beam pattern are great. I just recently adjusted my lamps, (they were both pointed too low) all I can say is WOW! I thought I moved them too high because of the amount of light I am putting out, but I have not been flashed once since the adjustment... Well, by fellow motorists in protest
I know I have a better pic that this, so Ill update it when I get back home:
BTW, nice hijack King haha

On a different note, your picture reminds of how much I hate having to have a front license plate. It looks WAY better without one.

Not sure why 2k+ wouldn't show up. Just make sure to order a 9006 kit as that is the type of bulb we use.
I guess I'm just a rebel Unfortunately the car came from the dealer with the front plate so I have two little holes instead. I'm pretty sure we are supposed to have front plates here in cali too, but I dont like them... Now that I think about it, I may put my extra plate in the trunk just in case someone has a problem with it.

He can retrofit OEM HID projectors (best)
He can remove the HIDs and stick with his halogens (better than blinding people)
He can attempt to use a headlight with a strong cutoff, something with an E-Code or like pattern like Cefiro headlights.

We also have no idea what the glare is like in a real world situation. All we have to judge by is one picture which may very well have been taken on the ground in the middle of the beam. It is very difficult to take an accurate picture of a strong light source.
I dont have OEM HID reflectors but my cut off is still pretty clean. While it isn't a perfect projector cutoff, neither is the OEM HID. The amount of glare has most to do with the quality and accuracy of the OEM reflector (which is pretty good) and the quality/ accuracy of the HID kit you buy.

Hey, i own a 2000 i30 i just bought a set for my car. I got 12000 K's. I know that 12000 is great because i used to have 12000k's on my older 99 i30 and i loved them. I used to compare my 12000k's with stock BMW 740il's & Benz S500 ( my friends cars) and guess what? My lights did a lot better then the stock. Also, i bough my set from a guy that provides you with a warrenty for 3 years on the ballest & bulbs which is rear. If your interested e-mail me.

They are Mecca Tune. I didn't get them yet i should be getting them next week. I will take pictures as soon as i plug them in. Color is a preference, the output is what was the difference. I have been told by some people that you should get lower Kelvin number for more output but what's weired is that with my 12000's i was able to see more then with stock BMW or Benz. As a test i left one of my friends drive my car with my 12000 while he had stock HID's on his car.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for 'em? I found their website selling them for $500 bucks. Thats quite a bit more than McCulloch or Philips.

Burnt out HID
I own a 2k i30t and one of the HID lamps went out. I've already got the OEM replacement part, I just need some instruction on installing it. Or, is this something I should take to the dealership to get installed?
#40
Hey guy's, i installed my lights didn't really have a chance to take a good pictures with a good camera. But i did take a picture with my Treo 650. Quality is ok, but i don't know how to upload the picture to this form, someone tell me... Btw, in the picture i have my lights (12000) and my friend's 2004 IS 300 stock HID's. Oh... and the lights are great on the road.
