For the few of the early 2003 that doesn't have Xenon lights as standards, would any of the cheaper aftermarket HID/Xenon Kit do, (~$75). I looked at it briefly and since the car battery is located on the rear left of the engine bay does those kit require wiring to the battery?

Do these cheap aftermarket burnt out fast?

please advise.

thanks,

Hi BKZJAYY718

http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p...=101&parent=85

OPTIONS
Wattage 35W
Bulb Type H1
Bulb Color 5000k oem color?

is it possible to do it myself? do i need extension wires to the battery in the back? please elaborate I just want the oem xenon look which i don't have...

 

Wondering the same thing... what wattage should i use? For my H4 fogs, should i use the Hi/Lo bulb? Im only going to use it for my highs anyway because of the glare it causes. I have 03 sedan lights. Thanks for the help and the site.

 

I have 8000K hids in my fogs the glare is only if ur standing up looking at the car from a distance, it won't glare oncoming drivers sitting in their car though, it looks sick with the same color top and bottom

 

Fogs, by design point downwards anyway. So glare should be minimal.

high beams are a different story...but every high beam shines....well...high

 

Did you use 35w or 55w kits? I was going to go 8000k but i dont want to lose that much light output, so 6000k would probably be better, but i also want the color. A 55w 8000k will have similar color to a 35w 6000k.

 

Color? no. 8K is 8K and 6K is 6K

With the 55w kit there will be more lumens of output, but the 8K will still be dimmer to the human eye

Says that Was just wondering what kind of wattage i should use.

 

I dunno why they say that. That's like saying blue halogen bulbs are the same as HID light.


Stock OEM HID systems are 35W.

You could use 55W, but the main concern would be heat and current and may be a fire risk in some install situations. If you run a 55w kit, you should set it up to use relays and run direct off the battery and make sure you mount the ballasts in a nice open area.

I'd stick with 35w systems

 

fellas, stick to 35w ballasts. 55w is asking for trouble. Sure, looks brighter, but risk of fire and anything of that nature, no thanks. Seen a couple horror stories where my buddies used some 55w ballasts.

Don't go higher than 6k. Trust me. Been through so many setups of lights. 6k is the best if you want any color at all. If not, stick to OEM, 4300k.

 

im not sure how many watts mine are i just typed xentec hid on ebay and bought em off there

 

most likely they are 35w

 

Hi, blkonblkGsedan

Last time I also tried Xentrex, it was a regular size kit without extension wires. How do I set it up? do I need anything going into the main battery in the back of the vehicle's engine bay?

im not sure cuz i did not install mine, i paid my friend to do it. But everything that comes in the kit is all you need, my ballasts were zip tied in the engine bay
