HID lights
i dont really know much about the headlights and bulbs in cars. ive been on other HID posts but i dont understand the low beam and high beam bulbs or something. do i need to purchase 2 different bulbs? coz i current have xenon bulbs installed.
i was planning on purchasing an auto platonium HID kit on ebay for $96 bucks but i dont really want to install them myself. i was wondering if i was able to contact anyone who is able to properly install and adjust them and how much if i do decide to purchase a kit? and also if anyone has a cheaper kit or bargain please? i was wondering are they illegal? will 8000k be legal?
sorry if there was a double up on this post.

Re: HID lights
yeah they are two different bulbs.
when you're on low and high beam, is there a colour difference? easiest way to tell.

Re: HID lights
Mate I just installed my HIDs, and they look great.. haven't been picked up yet (fingers crossed), iv got 8000k, but as far as I know they are illegal and can get defected.
If you get a set I'd be happy to help you install them, where abouts are you located?

Re: HID lights
And usually youll only get pulled over if your being a c**t on the roads... or if u got a mad ricer car... if u keep your car neat and non rice u should be ok and if your not being a total douche on the streets.

Re: HID lights
