Just got finished installing an HID kit that I got from a guy I knew that just got these new HID kits from Japan. They were highly recommended by him and I got it for $380, so I said "What the hell, why not?"

I installed them, and let me tell you, I have an Philips HID kit on my Millenia right now and it is no comparison to my new HID kit.

I have taken pictures already and showing you the intesity and the color that they put out.

I still have stock fog lights in there, trying to decide which bulb to get to match the HIDs, but also am contemplating modifing the housing to fit a H7 or a 9006 bulb. The H3 just does not give give the color or output as a 9006, H7, H4, or any of the normal bulbs. Just need ideas on how to do that.

I think YellowStars look good with my HID's. Might want to consider that.

! Yellow = rox!

I would consider getting yellow fogs b/c halagon bulbs wont match HID. like the xtreme whites, they will look a bit yellow compared to the HID.

What brand are they? How bright are they compared to stock low/high beams? What came in the kit? What did it take to install? Thanks in advance.

Only thing I know is that they are made by VISION. They are atleast 300% brighter than my stock low/high beam setup. I knew this since I already have one installed in my Millenia.

What came in the kit? Well two HID H4 bulbs, two balasts, two igniters and a rack of wiring. It did not take much time to install. I mean you plug in the stock harness into the wiring and connect one end to the batter and the other to the ground. Main part was just tidying up the wiring to make it look nice. Took me 20mins to install.

Not for $380 you aint getting no High Beams. But I dont care for High Beams since the Range on these HIDs are further than your Stock High Beams.

If I need to communicate with the drive in front of me, I will just turn on my Police Strobes, and I am sure the buddy will move out the way then!!!

Sounds like someone got the "Panasonic" Hid Vision kit like hogan was selling. You only paid 380 though?!?!?!? God damn that is ALOT less than everyone else paid. And yes i agree these are the best hid kits available, especially for only 380!!

I asked the guy if I could buy more and he told me that he was only selling them at this price during his promotion being a new distributor. He will sell them for now $450 and above.

But I think that is too much.
