hi guys, im wanting to change up my factory headlights on my 2010 ss Im thinking i wanna get projectors with an hid kit. is there any brands that i should stay away from or is there any that i should consider? Also most of these kits are low beam only. So what does that mean for the high beam? is it just the factory bulb?

 

Need more info

1. Money or no money?
2. Benjamins or Jacksons?
3. High roller or cheapskate?
...

 

lol ya i would rather spend a little more and get something decent!

 

what i meant is, what is your budget?
less than 200, 300, 400, or greater than 500?

 

i didnt realize they changed that much but idk roughly up to $300ish

 

Dont waste your money on projector headlights. Pay someone to build you retros or save some money and do it yourself. Aftermarket projector headlights have garbage light output. The stock reflector housings are better.

 

on that price range, here are your options
all can come in silver or black

you still need the h7 bulb for those and the hid kit. get a good one for right output and color.

400+ are for retrofits, that are the best but you need the dough
and customizable

Really ok I just liked the looks of the black ones. Not sure what u mean by building my factory ones but u suggest just putting a good hid kit in the factory ones?

 

check the second link i post and you will see what he is talking about.

 

this were my retrofits ^facebook pic lol
basically, projectors install inside the stock housing

 

I'm half asleep but I didn't see a price for the retrofits? U got anymore pics?

 

Retros for sure and so you get a better idea of how they look

 

Retros are a diy project? I guess no one sells complete units?

 

There is a few guys that make them Bass_waves made mine. But you could make them

 

like a i mentioned, they are 400+

 

Yup but totally worth it

 

That is pretty pricey. I ll have to check into it thx

 

You gotta pay to play. You can either get sketchy projector housings for cheap or retrofit stock housings for a little more and make it 10x better than anything you can get oem or aftermarket

 

Think about it this way spend 200 now then not be happy then spend 400+ later. Now your 600 deep when you could of done it correctly once and saved some money

 

Honestly i have had fantastic experience with 35 Watt digital slim DDM Tuning HID kits in factory housings. Granted this is my first Balt but I have put those kits in every car or motorcycle i have ever owned and in about 8 family/friends cars. The kits are super cheap and every piece has a lifetime warranty. (I have zero affiliations with DDM)

Personally I plan on pulling my housings apart, painting them and dropping a set in myself.

 

Ya I have ddm in my truck and love em !

 

Once you experience retrofit light output. You won't go back to hids in stock housing.

 

^ And he should know he made mine

 

Do not ask for advice, then go against it. Don't be "That guy" who puts HID's in OEM reflectors.

 

Not cheap but they are fun to make and boy is the output better, more reliable and better looking than anything ive seen otherwise
