Just get the HD harness and then some silver stars.. (or the other cheaper lights. they are alittle brighter than silverstars but dont have the whiteness that the silver stars do)

Also, if you havent allready, buy some new housings for the car. That is probably the best investment. and the car will look better too.

kinda what I thought
thanks..but no thanks..
I`ll get new glasses..ha..ha

 

[oldyak]

add..I have new lamps...that`s why I don`t want to screw them up!!
thanks
p.s.
your right,They do look cool...

no.. whoa.... wait a minute...
what xenon bulb are you refering to? the ones that say "H.I.D" on the pack? or an actuall HID kit?

the bulbs just plug in.. no modification. But the output of these lights are worse than stock. They do look brighter, only because they have that blu'ish tint to them.

The HID kits on Ebay wont work with the sho's headlights, since our lens are fluttered(the ridges). it will blind other drivers....

If you want better light output and visability, stick with Silverstars or the Ultra stars, or even these http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-23577.cfm which is what im going to run, and put the HD harness on. That will increase lighting drastically.

Thanks for the link SASHO91, I was actually going to try to find a HD harness tonight in my free time, but.. there ya have it!

 

[SASHO91]

no problem... take a look around their site... lots of good bulbs and other stuff too!

So how does this HD harness improve the lighting? Does it act as a relay that is getting power directly from the battery? Or is it just heavy duty replacement wiring for the stock headlight wiring?

 

[SASHO91]

both..

to put it simply.

If you know how to crimp a few connectors together you can save yourself some $$$ and time on shipping by making your own wiring harness. It worked out for my car! http://www.officialshocal.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=777&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

thought i should add this, I just bought a set of silverstar ULTRA's they just came out this month & are alot better then anything eles thats non HID.

Most Xenon bulbs are just painted blue, & not worth the $$$,,HID is the real deal & usually sells for $500+ alot of people get the two confused.
