Junk period end of story.

Point 1. Look at their pic, poorly chopped car onto a stolen pic which I believe was from HIDPlanet or Xenon King origionally and everyone uses. That cars tail lights would be as big if not bigger than a line on the road.... I think not.

Point 2. I wish they would sticky my post about HIDs and lighting because it sums it all up in there. Basically you can get a better bulb, and by the looks... those are still 9007 bulbs with some fancy wiring etc. If you want better lights understand that the lower the kelvin temp ie 4300k is a great light... as you go up it goes blue to purple up to 10000k losing LIGHT output as you go up in place of COLOR.

Point 3. If you are going to do HIDs or want the look with the performance, retrofit is the ONLY way to go... 9007 based HID xenon bulbs thrown into a reflector housing = dangerous for all other drivers. Your headlights were designed to use halogen reflectors and reflect the light in a specific pattern... which is safe for other drivers. That being said putting a higher output bulb in there throws light in different directions causing glare to other drivers or blinding them (similar to driving with your high beams on).

If you have ever looked at a true HID bulb and a 9007 halogen bulb, you will see one is longer or even the 9007 HID bulbs.

Final pointsPick what you want)
Color and Output = HID retrofit with projector and OEM bulbs/ballasts
Color = Some colored bulb that claims to have color and better output but realy will just have color
Output = Silverstars not 100% Clear, but best aftermarket output I have seen hands down.

haha thats no hid kit. Its halogen bulbs with a crappy blue cap and some wiring.

I ended up getting a retro done like and its a hell of a lot better than putting a hid kit into the stock reflectors.

Well I believe there is a reason why a true HID system costs anywhere between $250-400, and this kit costs $70 ... You get what you pay for.

Drocher, they will probably over-power your fog lights, meaning you will see a lesser effect on the road by your fogs, because the HID's will be brighter. Unless you want HID fogs as well, which is on my list of things to do.

since HID is intense, wouldn't fog just be reflected more and have no purpose as fog light? just liek when you have a high beam on fog???

just a thought....

some HID's i see say low beam only, is that because they're so bright you dont need to really use high beams?...and iono if this is on every car but on mine high beams dont allow you to even have the fogs on

Somewhat off subject but what is the deal with their customer service? I just ordered some tail lights from them and now you have me worried.

H.I.D.

These are NOT H.I.D. bulbs. They are very high wattage halogens with blue tint. I believe they are actually dual filament bulbs, and do not have a high beam. Note the relays are dual output.
DROCHER wrote:some HID's i see say low beam only, is that because they're so bright you dont need to really use high beams?

Most H.I.D. kits are for low beam only because an H.I.D. bulb has only on and off. There are no filaments, so you can not get high beam and low beam out of the same bulb. The exceptions are the bi-xenon bulbs, which are still just a single bulb, but have a motorized shield that changes the angle of light reflection within the housing, giving you your high beam and low beam settings. I found a very good 9007 kit out there, and I can't remember where, but it has the correct shielding and fitment for a good high beam and low beam retrofit. It's pretty big bucks, but as said a million times on here, you get what you pay for. Don't go cheap. You will always end up spending the money one way or another.

I don't use high beams on mine any more, and I have the seperate bulb for each.
