I've had them in for a year already, lol, I still don't think it's bright enough, during the day they seem yellow, and when i drive behind someone with HID's my **** looks dim...could also be my Battery is ****tin out on me...I just wana get HID's with Projectors, otherwise i don't see the point...

*madmatt* · 02-28-2006, 11:11 AM

LOL no, its prolly not your battery, cause mines pretty much brand new, and they are still dim as hell. Im GOING to get HIDs someday. Maybe sooner than later, as there really isnt anything else I really want other than to put in the longtubes. Ill take some 6k's though, I dont want those damn blue ones.

floppy · 02-28-2006, 11:16 AM

i've had hids in my car for a couple months... not one person has flashed their lights at me. and i can finally see bumps in the road before i get to them. like i said earlier i had piaa's which are supposed to be the best bulbs but it really makes no difference, they only change the color of the light.

Well lemi know when you do, i got a guy that sells them for 200 flat...if you break the bulb by accident he will also throw in a new one for free...dunno bout the hook up though...hopefully he's still around when i go to buy mine eventually...

spike_africa · 02-28-2006, 12:10 PM

Yeah whoever said a halogen buld is just as bright as a HID setup is a moron.
ANd i would agree i would use the 6k kit rather then then crazy blue 8k kit but thats me. Its also something i would like to do one day in the future.

*madmatt* · 02-28-2006, 12:25 PM

Lately, Im beginning to not care about more power because I want to be able to see at night. Grimmz, Im pretty sure im going to go with the kit MT sells, as Ive seen quite a few reviews of it, and everyone seems to be having good luck with it.

*madmatt* · 02-28-2006, 02:15 PM

I dont care anymore. Im sure as hell not spending more than a grand for headlights. Thats rediculous. JMO though, ill expect to see Matt anytime now...

roushrider81 · 02-28-2006, 02:18 PM

yea does anbody know what the number is that nissan maximas come stock with....i ordered the 8000 kit what do the maxima's have??? anybody know?

spike_africa · 02-28-2006, 04:21 PM

do any automakers come with more then 6k thats the real question. I think everyone i have seen is 6k kit not the 8k or 10k kits that are out there. I saw a local guy in orlando with them he had the 8k kit whihc is very blue when close (not really my style) but the light pattern was pretty darn good with the stock 03 housing. I think if you just get the HID plug and play kit you would be very happy madmatt thats what i want to do when i see a good deal on ebay i am gonna do it.

*madmatt* · 03-01-2006, 07:23 AM

Yea, there is another site that sells the 6k kit for 299.99, so I think when I discover the money tree, Im going to order one. We'll see. I want em bad.

LoL it's not a looks thing, Projectors spread the beam out better, and focus it in other places correctly...withouth them, people were sayin in the stock lights they seem off by a little bit...

FLoppy how do yours look?

i have no problems. i dont have crisp lines but its not that bad either. there are hotspots in the center. 100x better lighting than stock. i've had them for a couple months and could never go back to regular lights. i dont care what anyone on this board says. nobody has flashed me because my lights are too bright because they're aimed down enough to not get in anyones eyes. but yet i can see further down the road than ever before.

Milos · 03-01-2006, 11:19 AM

I use the Silver-stars for the headlights and the equivalent for the fog lamps and I get high-beamed all the time...

What about the Xenon series?
