reliable HID kit?

udienow · 10-30-2009, 07:58 AM

Every year that I take my car out of storage to drive in the winter something always goes bad with my lights... usually its bulbs... but then I start to think maybe the ballasts just suck and cause the bulbs to go bad all the time. I am kinda tired of replacing **** every year... is there a decent kit at a decent price sold somewhere? I havn't been in the loop on this site for a while so idk whos selling good stuff nowadays. Where do most of you guys go to buy HID kits? I am looking for D2S 4300K in perticular. I have custom made TSX projector R34 headlights.

I bought mine from Operatic about 14 months ago and have had no problems with them.

I recommend you buy OEM bulbs. Kit bulbs suck! You can get some 85122 or 85122+ bulbs on ebay for like $50.

if you're looking for a hid kit, i'd suggest looking at DDMTuning.com. they have a hid kit for $40 AND it comes with a one year warranty. their rep seems pretty solid.

I have been looking into this company as well. The $40 kit is Raptor brand and I've seen only good reviews. It's $40 plus shipping. I'll be buying from these guys soon.

Oem hid parts ftw. Aftermarket hid is almost made to break.

OEM. And do a retro.

Don't use those chinese junk bulbs. Philips 85122 or nothing. You can use ebay junk ballasts with it, or you can buy a pair of OEM ballasts. It's cheaper to buy a $150 set of OEM bulbs and ballasts and use it for five years than it is to burn through a $50 chinese junk kit every year.

In my opinion, this is the best site for your retrofitting needs:
http://store.theretrofitsource.com.
They have brand new Phillips 85122+ bulbs for 75ish + shipping.
As for ballasts and ignitors, I got the 3rd Gen Matsu****as ballasts with igniters for around 160ish a pair. Comes with pigtails and mounting brackets.
A word of warning though: When I got my set, It said black was positive, and red was negitive. I went against that and went with my own experience. Red was positive and black is negitive. Other than that, I had no major issues with it.

I'l probably be going for the FX-R projectors sometime in the summer, unless someone wants to gift me
