Hi, i was thinking of putting some HID lights into my car and i was wondering how i would do that. I am a beginner at cars so please bare with me. Would i have to get a ballast if i was to install the lights. And would the HID lights be considered as the high beam since it is more brighter then the normal bulbs? And if i was to replace the normal bulbs with HID bulbs would i have to get some high beam HID bulbs too if there is such a thing? Heres the bulbs i plan to get or something similar, http://www.streetunit.com/product_p/lhw.htm, thanks in advance.

for those bulbs...
Nope you dont need any ballast and they plug directly into where your exsisting headlight bulbs are located.
...
KDM/JDM market. Using a premium coating creates the deep blue appearance which makes for a clean white light simulating HID, which simulates sunlight. The coating Luminics uses ensures consistency in color and accurate projection.
...
As they are not HID's!

Insted of posting in the exterior mods section, I think that you need to spend some time trolling the newbie section. There is a lot of useful info in there that will answer a lot of your questions. Just remember, the biggest thing in cars, in general, is that you get what you pay for. $30 headlights are not going to give you the same light as a true set of $300 HIDs

The HID upgrade is possibly the best money I have spent on the car. Not the most fun, but appearance and performance wise they are so much better than the stock lights.

I would seriosuly go with the HID upgrade. But I also understand. Many people don't want to fork out that much money just for headlights.


I think it's worth it though. Just know what K bulb you want to go with and check out the site sponsors (don't go above 8000k though. or you are wasting your time). They offer lifetime warrenty's which is a MUST. godo piece of mind incase a ballast goes out from malfuntion, which can happen.

The install is easy as hell. IF you are at all familiar with the removal of the front bumper and so on it can be done in about 15 minutes if even that long. Th eonly thing that took a while for me was becasue I made the hole in the dustcap a bit to big so I used silicone sealer for the gap to seal it better. So I had to wait for it to be try.

Probably the easiest mod to do that I have done so far. next to the lcd's
