kwk39018 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 nope 8500k blue blubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20SS07 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 How's the light output on them? Brand? Typically those blue bulbs that claim a color temperature have bad light output due to the blue coating over the bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwk39018 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 The light output is about the same,but the light is bright. The mini quads have shit for light output any way,so that is my biggest issue.It is beatter stock. Nokia is the builbs I got.I also have a set in may cavalier.

Venom Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 silverstars all the way.

Venom Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 If you check that thread, there are a lot of guys on that site that use that kit and some have for over a year with no problems. I couldnt believe the price either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 i may go ahead and order a kit and try it out then. at that price it really wouldn't matter if it only lasted a year. thanks for the link, may turn out to be a really good buy/product. if i do end up getting it i will post up and let you guys know how they are.

20SS07 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I'd be leary of any kit that cheap. But for that price, I guess it doesn't matter. As long as it has a relay harness so you don't fry your stock wiring. Personally I HIGHLY recommend getting a kit from http://www.higherlevelauto.com Mike, the owner, is a sponsor over at NAIOA.com. Many members there have used his kits and everyone is more than pleased with them. He also has great customer service. In the off chance you do have something go wrong he'll make sure he makes things right whether you get a bad bulb or have a ballast malfunction, etc. My kit actually somehow got lost during shipping and he sent me out a new kit ASAP no questions asked. And at $150 it's still a very good price IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I was kinda wary because of the price also, but like I said earlier there are a quite a few guys over a V6Z24.com that have the kit and are very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20SS07 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yea, as long as there's a relay harness then I guess there's nothing to lose. I just took a quick look at it and it looked like it comes with one so I guess it's worth a shot if someone doesn't wanna spend alot. Regardless of the kit though, once you go HID you'll never go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 i am about to order it. the bulbs i should order are the 9006 right? i have a '91 Z34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20SS07 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Can't help ya out with bulb type, but what color temp are you getting? I wouldn't get anything over 6000k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwk39018 Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 yes 9006 low, 9005 highbeam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 though so, just wanted to make sure. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Can't help ya out with bulb type, but what color temp are you getting? I wouldn't get anything over 6000k. i am going with the 6000k. now something odd is that it only allows you to choose one size bulb. so i guess i will order the 9005 and use them on my low beams, because i rarely use highbeam as it is. i know nothing about these kits, so if you guys know anything, please let me know if i am about to order the correct parts. this is the kit.... http://www.vvme.com/product/detail-20023.html and i am going to choose 6000k for the temperature and 9005(HB3) as the bulb. am i correct in the options i am choosing? btw... sry to have derailed this thread guys.

CSI_MuNkY Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Fuck why didn't I see this sooner... next pay check!! mediabandit, I'm pretty sure you have the right kit picked out, I know you do for a Grand Prix, and I can't see GM being one to change bulb types on a similar car, it costs too much money to change a plug When you get them, take the cover off the back of the ballast (yes its safe, just don't touch anything) A good quality HID kit you will not be able to see the electrical. It will almost look as though once the electronics were put in it was filled with silicone. I'm sure there are other things that set the expensive ones apart, but I know this makes for a very weather proof system. I'm also sorry for the derail.....

mediabandit Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 cool, thanks Jamie. i am going to order it right now. i will let you know how it is when i get it. thanks for all the info guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20SS07 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Goodluck. Install is pretty straight forward. And it would have been a waste getting them for the high beams anyway. Let me know if you have any questions about the install once you recieve the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwk39018 Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 9005s will not fit in the low beams , different monting. It looks the same but it wont work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Technically none fit in mine, they had to be glued in place. I have the Sylvania (sp?) Cool Blue headlights in mine, and both highs and lows had to be glued in place. And FWIW, Q-ball did silver stars at the same time for double the price and they were just as effective. However mine now suck ass once again. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
