I just got HIDs 2 weeks ago. I bought the kit that fits into the stock headlight bulb socket (9007). I really really love them.

Hands down best mod I have ever done.

But... the only shitty thing is the company I bought them from I wouldn't recommend them to anyone because I got shafted with broken parts in shipping.

But its all good now.

Best retro I've seen yet. Costly, but if done properly will look like it came from the factory.

damn you hak....everytime you put up pictures of those, it reminds me to start saving up some cash. Pm me and let me know what you would charge for making me the same kit.

CT_SRT · 11-23-2005, 02:00 PM

go with the hacknslash route... BEST looking ever...IMHO...plus he knows his shit...

I bought a kit, but I have no high beam... it's so annoying !!!

And sometimes when I'm driving, and hit bump, the drivers side light will turn on... actually happens everyday.

I LOVE the light it puts out..but I don't like the way the actual headlights look. Oh well.

This is the kind of input I like to read. It allows me to make what people out there desire. Why make something people don't want right?

So you love the excellent output these units put out but would like to see it in a different look/style. What would you like to see or what style? Chrome housing enclosure similar to stock style? I have material that is like that yet its very unforgiving to work with. Maybe we can build to suite in custom applications....

I'm all ears. I have even thought of making a color matched housing to see how it would turn out. What do you guys think of that idea?

That's the way I would go. Mine would be silver so it wouldn't be that drastic. Red, yellow, or blue color matched would be interesting.

i'm doing a e55 bi-xenon retro right now with a lot of advice from haknslash. the projectors are mounted in the depo replacements but i haven't sealed them up yet.

it won't be completely mounted til the spring as it's winter here and the car is stored.

I think the lights in the picture look great. How much do you charge for a set of those?
