HID Help
i was just wondering what type of bulb would be suggested? I see many types. I know what temp i want, 8000k. But what type of bulb is good? 9004, 9005.. H7, H8, H9 etc...
ah ok.. wow i feel dumb haha.. yeah im using stock housings. long day at work lol.. thanks guys
EDIT:
oh.. i also heard somewhere that when using HID's you should remove your day time running lights fuse. Im assuming to protect the HID's especially if you hit some light and dark patches in a short amount of time. This a good thing to do? or is it like some kind of myth?

most people have to pull the DRL fuse bcus on some newer models the daytimes run the highbeams at a lower voltage... and ballasts dont like that so they flicker and bitch out.. i think on the 05-06 models only the parking lights are on during the day so its not a big deal if thats ur cars year...
but please dont put HIDs in ur stock headlight... ur an asshat if u do

whats so wrong with putting them in the stock head lights? I actually like the stock lights. i use to have the 1 gen halos, but i just grew out of them. Plus i plan on blacking out the housing.
They wont blind you but they will blind the guy who crashes into you head on...then guess whos liable not him well unless hes wasted or has a cardiac arrest moment, oh and dont forget about the guys baby in the back seat who you blinded and made crash into a wall or somthing :-)
hey, if you're gonna put an hid kit in anyways, and you're gonna crack open your stock lights to paint them. Why not put in some plug and play retros from buyhids.com. This way you will have the stock headights, projectors, hids, and you will not blind anybody. These projectors fit directly into the stock housing and basically just screw in. They come with a relay harness ready for full plug and play.
