Smile Upgraded my Headlight to a HID

I found a HID kit on Flebay for 35 bucks. It comes with the HID bulb and Balast. It was "plug an Play" and it is unbelievably bright and clear! I cant imagine how I drove at night before having this!

I also took it one step further and upgraded my spots to 55 watt bulbs, now I can be seen a long long long ways away!

Well worth the 50.00 total for the upgrades!

Do you have a link to the vendor you purchase the kit from?

That's a great price, do they make HID kits for the spots too?

Where did you put the ballast? Which color temp did you use?

I could not find the spots in HID. The balast was "glued" to the side of the nacell. 34K, I believe is the temp that I got

So the ballast is fairly small? I'm running out of room inside my nacelle.

I just hooked one of these up today. The hardest part was finding a place to ty-wrap the ballast to.
