My friend is selling his MCColluck (sp) HID's, 6000k, used for 5-6 months. He asking $200 for them. Is this a good deal? What do u guys think?

 

MCColluch kits are crap! Get a retro!

 

 

i would get em, $200 aint bad at all

 

Get'em from www.umnitza.com

 

Personally I hear they are of poor quality. After buying my HID kit I do not think I will want to touch another poor quality kit again. Try to find a Philips/Osram 9004 kit. I hear http://xenondepot.com/ is a good source, though expensive.

 

Phillips/Osram doesn't make kits.

 

Well they sure as hell make the components for them...I know 2 guys with them.

 

Just don't join the group of people who think its an okay tradeoff to have "HID" at the expense of blinding most everybody else on the road...

... No really I like it when my rear view explodes in a fury of purple, blue, or whatever.

If you get hids, do it right, get the projectors off an A4 or whatever fits in your housings and work from there.

 

obviously you only heard of bad comments. Here's a positive one. I've had my kit for over 6 months and no problem yet.

 

I was doing some research and it seems the generation 4 and above are good quality. Generation 3 and below suck.

 

i've got the 7000k by McCulloch, and i love it

 

No Phillips and Osram makes Ballast and D2S burners. They don't make rebased bulbs.

 

No, I have a 6000K kit in my car and the results are no where near OEM quality. Yea they light up the road a lot better than halogen, but the glare is terrible plus you lose you high beams. I learned the hard way, that's why I'm going to do a retro.

 

why didn't you get a dual beam kit?

 

Do you mean one where a halogen bulb is glued on to the HID bulb?

 

i've got the 6000k by McCulloch, and have no problems either... going strong

 

yeah me too. I just got this 7000K Mcculloch kit thats old school even with the 2nd generation ballasts that everyone talked bad about and he nor I have had any problems.. He gave them to me after over 6 months of use and still going great and no flickering whatsoever.
I think maybe the people with problems either touch the bulbs during installation or their ballasts get wet, but my McCulloch ballasts are waterproof.. I guess either I have good luck or the people who hate on these sweet HID's have ****y luck

 

where can i get a set of rebased bulbs?

 

I want to eventually get HID's once the hype of people stealing them dies down

 

I was wondering if anyone with HID's have replace their fuses under the hood with 2 20 AMP fuses... Right now I have 2 15 AMP fuses in their and have no problems... I always thought that this would be a bad idea for harnhesses, ballasts, bulbs because if there was a short somewhere along the connection the fuse would trip the power..
IF anyone knows what i'm talking about, got any insight?
Thanks in advance..

 

keep the fuse. short circuiting is a pain in the ****.

Try Ebay. I sawthem there for cheap.

 

Yea but your harness is suffering and eventually will melt.

 

Those guys rip you off. OEM D2S bulbs go for about $75/pair. Those f[]ckers charge over $90+shipping. Rip off for ****ty lighting

 

naa you wrong about that.. I uprgraded all my harnesses.. Nothings gonna melt..
