BuyHids Retrofits review

So since our cars stock light output is horrible I wanted to work on the lighting. I bought BuyHIDS 9007 kit with their fog light kits and installed everything in stock housings and while it improved the lighting I wanted more. So I spoke to mkulrey13 about improving the output and at that moment he had a set of retros he was selling. He informed me that there was a blemish in the housing when he painted it, but I didnt care. As I went to send him the money for them someone else snatched them.

He then offered to do me a new set which included everything for the same price. Really? A non blemished set at the price for a blemished set. That is a WIN!. So I sent him the money for them and he got to work on them, mind you this was during a group buy so he was busy and it still only took 10 days to get them. Great work. Install was all plug and play and the light output is amazing now. Its amazing when I pull up along side other cars and my headlights output goes out another 20-25 feet than their HIDs, and I'm not talking about civics with HIDs in their stock housings. Im talking about the new fords, Dodge, and Audi HIDs.

Im going to post some pictures of the set of retros I have. But I want to thank mkulrey13 and BuyHIDs and eveyrone that works there. They are a great company to deal with and they keep their customers by providing GREAT customer service.

looks great man i cant friggen wait for my retros, i had to go big or go home because buyhids did want to do the bigger projectors which i can understand, they are 100x harder to install and much more time consuming especially at the time of a GB.

I just sent my lights to Nate from TRS, going with modded FXR's 50w ballasts and im trying 6000k bulbs because im still in love with blue output, yes im familiar with color flicker but i still like the output to be a bit blue. it should be awsome when done.


But if i wanted mini h1's id definetly go buyhids!!
