I want the HID lighting, but I like the stock headlights so can I throw like 8k HID bulbs/lights in the stock housing?

thanks

 

Sure, but many here won't like you for it.

 

lol who cares if they dont like it. Alot of members have done that. No big deal

 

I know, lol. I personally don't care, it's his car, but there's a fair number of people here who like to bitch about HIDs in stock lights.

 

Ha ha tell me about it

 

wait until u get blinded by some ricer with 8k HIDs in reflectors on a one lane road.

 

Isn't it hids on stock bulbs that people like to bitch about. Not hids in pro's

 

yes it is. reflectors=stock. (the mirror like bulb surround.)


projectors=aftermarket

 

It's dangerous and against the law in a lot of provinces/states. If your going to do something, don't do it half assed... do it right and get projectors or retro's.

 

What your looking to get are some retrofit headlights using stock housing. These can be a little pricy but you get what you pay for. And they will look 10x better than HIDs in stock reflector headlights. Here are some that I have done:




PM me if your interested.

 

id say go 4 it. just prepare to get flamed. im orderin ebay ones end of the month. i know a kid that got em and they work great for 50 bucks

 

$50 projectors? never seen em that cheap

 

could i get pulled over for this?

and ive heard a bunch of different things so just to make sure, i can just buy some 10k HID bulbs and simply replace them with the stock bulbs? nothing else?

and if its reallly that bad i would probably just tint my headlights

 

Just do it have a little fun. Its ok to blind people right lol. Dont worry about what others think if you wanna do it do it. Just let me know if you live around me so i dont get blinded by your lights. :-)

 

Not $50 projectos, $50 plug and play HID kits that you can put in your stockers. Iv seen 2 poeple with em and they are bright as all hell. And the guys said they installed easy and they love em. Im lookin forward to em.

 

Yup. I'm doing those too but I'm getting them at vvme.com. My only problem is that I'm currently working on a project with stock headlights. So I gotta see which headlights I'm gonna like first and then choose my hids

 

^thats a bad ass price. Cobalts take 9007 right?

 

yea but I think HID is H1/H7

I got 9007 projectors and had to drill a bigger hole for the H1 HID kit.

 

well i mean what size would you recommend for stock housing. Only size i remember for HID said was 9007. You think H1 or H7 is the right size?

 

no for stockers its a 9007 and if you still want a high beam then you gonna have to get a bi-xenon kit. h7 is for the 2nd gen low beams and h1 is for 1st and 3rd gen low beams

 

^now that sounds like some legit information. Bi-xenon are still as bright as the regular single HID right. I dont really understand how those ones work. Are the high beams a filament bulb from them?

 

yea there is actually two different types of bi-xenon thou. they are both just a bright but one type has a small halogen bulb made to the hid bulb and the other is just a hid bulb with a lil mechanical hood over it that slides back when you flip the high beams on so that the whole bulb shines.

sorry there is actually three types. one actually has two hid bulbs built into one.

 

^good info right there. Thank you sir

 

i have the ebay kit for $50 looks great............................................. ........ better be sure to adjust the beam or you might cause an accident

 

no problem man. just know that bi-xenon cost a lil more that a normal hid kit does. on ebay they are around 40 more.
