Gen 3 HID's??
I bought these from a local buyer.
They appear to be in great shape, and i fully intend to repalce the HIDS with a set from buyhids.com but do you guys think they look okay?

They are super dirty plust the light from her garage is weird. I asked the same thing and she confirmed they were clear. Just to confirm the wires are all considered the "relay" correct?

I have different HID ballasts but the connectors look the same. And yes, we have the same headlights. I have had mine for 6 months now and haven't had any problems at all.

Awesome, thats always good to know. And I'll just buy a decent hid kit from buyhids.com, one that comes with the relays. Best $50 I've spent in a while, lol. Appreciate the info GS, your set up looks pretty sick so I'm excited.

Ohhhh...one last question - what temp and ballasts are you using, and are yours high and lows or just lows? I'm really lost with this stuff. I want bright blue lights with high and low beams, what set up would you recommend?

I have 8K, 6K are white, and I think 10K are too blue. I have just the low beams. You will need two sets of HIDs to run highs and lows for these lights. If you're looking for normal headlights I would go with 6K but if you want a nice look with a little more attention then 8K.

No problem, I have never seen those in gen 3's. For them to be exactly what they are now just converted to hids you will need 2 sets. You will be happy with the 8k
