Pros-They look good, bright

Cons-Glare, no highs, glare, glare, blinding everyone else on the road with glare.


There is a reason why most HIDs come in projector housings. It is to aim them better...the stock housing was never intended to.

I suggest getting some projectors of you want HIDs.

Any eBay HID kit will do

I have one, and have been using it for months with zero issues

That is what high beams are.

You are going to blind EVERYONE with them and will fail inspection in most states if you have no highs.

The cops aren't to privy on it either.

If you are not going to do it right, don't do it at all IMO.

You will have no high beams if you you put an 9007 HID conversion kit on you car.

Just low beams.

I suggest running some blue looking regular bulbs.

Go to Advanced Auto Parts or AutoZone.

Buy some 9007 bulbs called Cool Blues.

Put them in.

Any of the aftermarket bulbs won't last as long as a OEM or normal Halogen

Still the shortest time I have had an aftermarket bulb last for me is like 7 months so you should be good

Rating is usually used for HIDs only.

The cool blues aren't very bright...but are pretty blue.

If you want less blue more white go with silverstars

Ehhh...I wouldn't say quite as bright...

The stockers in our cars actually aren't half bad.

If you are worried about brightness, silverstars are more white/blue than blue...but put out more than stock.

The cheapies aren't half bad either.

Silverstars will give you that color

Not quite as perfect as that color but close.
