what's up guys, i just bought my '09 ss with 25k miles on it yesterday...i freaking love it. but i've got terrible headlights right now...i wanna buy HID's.

they worth it? which are the easiest to install/the best?? i'm sure there's a thread like this somewhere, but i'm hoping you guys can help out a new forum member!!

thanks!

 

Get some quality projector headlights before getting HID's.

 

Honestly man save your money and look into getting some retrofit headlights

 

D2S: Morimoto Elite HID System - HID Component Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc

 

whats your money situation look like? if youre not too tight on your wallet id just fork out the money for retrofits from BUYHIDs. i think theres supposed to be a group buy coming up soon keep an eye out for that. black retros with 6k hids, hids in fogs, few leds like reverse and license plate lights. youll be good to go. will run ya around $500 on a groupbuy. you wont be disappointed

 

go with BUYHIDS.com when there back up

 

I just purchased some retrofits with 6K HID's cant wait . Was gonna be "cheap" but I know headlights are something you should pay some good money for and it will come out way better with retros. Excited to get mine in

 

i got 6k fogs and headlights LOVE them plus the slim ballasts and the life time warranty are a good thing

 

VVME and DDM tuning, best prices IMO. If you want to be as close to stock as possible. I'd suggest blacked out stocks with 6k hi-lo HID kit

If you want to spend more money, get projectors/retrofits with a 6k hid kit

 

He doesn't need to be blinding people with HID's in the stock headlights.
Retros or Gen 4 projector headlights first.

 

Ran 6k hi-lo kit in black stocks aimed right in my 2.2 for 4 years. Got flashed maybe once a month? And probably not even because of lights to be honest

 

I ran 5k morimoto bulbs in mine for over a year and never got flashed

 

^ just cause they don't flash you doesn't mean you're not blinding them. I was going to put HID's in my stock fogs and decided not too after reading so much about retrofits and projectors. It's one of those things that's "do it right or don't do it at all" . I know it may seem a little expensive, but I just ordered mine and can't wait for the install

 

Your stock fogs are projectors

 

I ment my stock headlights lol Sorry, little tipsy from last night :P

 

Ditto. Some people are just nice.

You probably had them aimed at the ground.
Joking aside, fact of the matter is the light just scatters too much without a proper projector setup.

 

Nah they were aimed just fine, not that it matters now I have retro's

 

thank you everyone!! sounds like retros are the way to go on BUYHIDS....money isn't too big of an issue, so that's what i'm gonna look into, ANYTHING is better than what is on there now...truly bad. lol
