So on ebay, looking for the hid kit, 8000k for sure, any recommended brands, theres alot for 36 bucks, but i heard from someone on here there the ****ty cheap ones. What your guys call?

 

heres the kit mines been working for 2 years now















it must be ...us seller ..and iceburg blue ...some of them have a pinky look to them make sure it says (ice burg blue)

 

okay, how much did yours cost, do you remebr the name of the brand

 

are there any problems with these kits regarding frying your wiring? also when you install these kits do you have to install and inline fuse in case of a surge of power?

 

I heard mydepots is a good place to get hids. I was going to get the slim line, for tighter cars. Its not that expensive and seems like a fun and easy mod. Can somone post the high and what not how to allign the bulbs? Making sure they are level and what not.

Thanks!

 

Jim, with our cars, because the headlights/fog lights are powered via a relay, you can wire up the HIDs to the factory wiring with no issues. Other brands, this is not the case and can lead to long term reliability (yes, it will work initially, but you are overloading switches and whatnot without the addition of a relay). As for an inline relay, the factory wiring already has the relay in there for you. So, no need to add a fuse either.

 

what is happening on ebay is that there are alot of kit witch look blue in the pics but they end up pinkish alot of the slim kits are like that ...if you want to be safe and have a good product which last for years ....sellar hidmedia

 

okay, becuase i was drivng in the rain today, and i noticed tht my drivers side light dosne't even go as half as far as the passenger side, should i have that checked

I am personally buying form a local seller for 79 dollars today. I will get then in about 2 hours and i will post some pictures ;-)
I decided to get the 6000k. The my depots is pretty cheap in price, go to the uk forums and read there too. I know later today ill have my own thread or be searching around for a tutorial on how to install the hids.

 

check my thread i have a write up some where on this forum or roadfly...if ypu need help were here

 

Is it possible you can post a link? I looked around, Also the balasts u need to connect directly to the battery right? Also do you tap into the factory existing harness on both sides or just one? I was reading somewhere you only do one. Please let me know because i should be getting my kit in an hour and i want to install right away ;-)

 

gupdah, as long as you are wiring the HIDs to your factory headlights in your Jag, you can wire them directly to the factory wiring with no problem. With Fords, Chevy's, etc, you can not do this as they wire the headlights directly to the switch.

If you need more info, let me know. I will see if I can find my write up for the foglights. The headlights are going to be very similar.

 

Guys I installed on side and now I am doing the battery side. I remevoes the battery and as I was taking out the holder there was a hollow pipe that was under it and came loose from somewhere I guess. Where does it go? I am scared to start my car bow. It's very thin, like a pencil. Where does it go. Please respond asap.

 

Gupdah, that pencil thin tube connects to the battery to divert the fumes built up by the battery. You should have a small plastic elbow( same thickness) on either side of the battery to connect it to.

 

alright ill see what i can find. THANKS for ur response. Turns out that one of the ballasts were faultly, tommorow i should be getting it replaced and then make it work. Ill post some pictures soon.

 

what shop did u get them from

 

I got them from a person on craigslist, he sells them and i think he owns a dealership or something. Look on craigslist for your area and search HID kits or something. Check my thread out i posted some pictures. If i was you, and there was no local seller, id go to mydepots. I have heard good things about them.
