They look great on the smart car, not as much glare but also not as bright as the ones on my Z

Bought some HIDS 3 years ago from 03TRD for $270 with install, they've worked great since
so $200 with install for HIDs 3yrs later seems ok id imagine prices in general would have dropped more

I did not know that the ones at crystal mall had no warranty.
I bought mine from tspny.com and they are great quality. Digital hid with 2 year warranty.
Havn't had any problems with them and one of the best kits I'v used. Got 2 kits from them.

for most cars out there u can aim the headlight housing lower so it won't be as blinding. I'm not saying its not blinding, but its a lot better if u aim the housing correctly (to the right and slightly towards the groud)

If you don't get a retrofit into your Yaris, you're going to glare like a motherfucker. and I'm going to hate you, and drive behind you and turn on my highbeams so you know how it feels to be blinded.
Go to powerbulbs.com, check out their wide selection of replacement bulbs and you're set. Free shipping as well, iirc, they are based in the UK / Europe, and I've made a couple purchases from them before with no hassle and free shipping, AND they give you 2 free parking light bulbs.

i got a set of bosch. theres something wrong with the conmection wiring. the right one would suddenly turn off. but when i adjust the wires in a different position it works again.
anyone have this problem? im too lazy to go back and have it replaced. because hidoutlet might just decline my claim because its once in a week kind of thing. help? Posted via RS Mobile | |

Buy online from American sites. Local stores do charge quite a bit more. Learned that the hard way.

HIDs can get you a ticket, a tow, a VI...
Edit: oh yeah, and you're far more likely to get a ticket for HIDs, vs. just a warning for high beams.

HID on reflector headlights
5000K, height adjusted to spec (a bit lower than normal halogen)
No blinking, no DRL disable needed, turns on every time even with Mercedes stock wiring.
Plug and play !! But took me more than 1 hour to properly drill the holes, electric tape it, drill, screw, ziptie the ballast.

just because its pointed lower doesnt mean it's not blinding people..
its the output directly out of the housing that is blinding, not the light itself
