bbsal Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 Looks awesome. I have the exact same thing you have.i bought mine off a honda ricer kid. it's used, but it costed me 200 bucks. this is one of the best mod for our cars. yep i agree hid is one of the best mods to our year cars. mine was very easy to instal just plug and play like sk's.they sell 9005 on ebay also if thats all your car will fit but keep in mind that 9005 kits are made for high beams so the beam of light that the lights put out is not the same as 9006 i would imagine.you might blind people on the road if its made for high beams but im sure it could be modded.good luck
juan01 Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 lol, yea I thought about that... I will be getting new headlights because of my accident, so I'm hoping that I will be able to get the HID's you and sk have. Let's hope.
skippy Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 can't find the ultinon hid kit on eBay, and suggested retailers?
col_panic Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 B) those look great! is there a howto on clearing the front and rear light covers? i really need to do both
9tRaY_ES Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 that looks sweet! how did you clear your sides btw? i read one time you had to heat it in the oven. is that right? and if it is, and after i have removed the lens, what do i use to mold them back together?
SKperformance Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Glad to see you search the old thread but there is a few with specifics on making the lights front and read also bbsal is not around anymore
coolwater Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I envy you, too! $500 for one complete set of headlights, right? Not just for two HID light bulbs, right? LOL I have bad night vision, so maybe I will consider switching to HID headlights if one of them goes out someday.
SKperformance Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 $500 is the utmost max i would ever pay it will come with ballasts and bulbs it may use a ballast with 2 wires to attach or it can jkust be a oplug and play set up useing the old sockets for the bulbs to power tehm as originally the bulbs are 55w but hid's are 35w
xplicit420 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 thank you!yes thats were i bought them from.i paid something around 470 shipped.they are philips 6000k bulbs and ballasts.awsome kit and the ballasts have a molded plastic around them to protect them from the elements unlike alot of other kits out there.There are cheaper ones but i didnt want to risk it to save 50 bucks!all in all they work great and im happy even though im almost 500 dollars under!lol ← quick question did you do a retrofit kit ?????????? what did you use ????? hit me up miaautoconcepts@yahoo.com
SKperformance Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Please define all 3 of your questions with some more detail of what you want to know and to whom?

I installed the kit but it dosent point straight @ all it points to the sides instead of seeing whats ahead of me i see the signs on the side of the roads..I have tried aiming several times and have even gone as far as taking apart the headlight again...to my dissatisfaction it didnt work.... so now m stuck and I dont know anyone that knows about this stuff.....I noticed that on the inside of the projector there are 2 shields one comming from the top and one comming from the bottom ...I assume that is were the cutofflione starts?????????? but as i said im not sure! Do I have to modify the projector in order to get the needed light output...........is there a certain way they are supposed to go in?????????? or do I need a diffrent hid kit alltogether?????????? Should I do a retrofit???????? and if so from what car would be the best?????????? Im sorry I am asking you so many questions But I would appreciate your help with this as I am extremly frustrated with this .......Thanks a million and I will find a way to repay you !!!!!!!!!!!!
SKperformance Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 UMM d2r's or d2s's will not fit your car you have 9006. LMAO now i know why it won;t work. You need 9006 HID's not oem style above.
vcv10guy Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 SKperformance, Is this what you and bbsal bought "Philips Ultinon D2S 6000K bulbs and Philips LVQ-212 Electronic Control Units "? That's what I found on ebay and I'm considering getting them if that's what you both purchased. Thanks for your help.
SKperformance Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 not what i have that is a type of bulbs so it would have to be purchased seperatly and have a rebased bulb to fit 9006
vcv10guy Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 ya the one i found on ebay actually says it's 9006. what brand do you have installed?
jahon Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 BEAUTIFUL! Wish I had the money to add Hid to my car <_< but props on yours! :D
mZp3Rv Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 BEAUTIFUL! Wish I had the money to add Hid to my car <_< but props on yours! :D ← damn..yeah id wish for the same thing. however..christmas is in the next month..hmmmmm...maybe i'll hint to my love ones :P
charley240sx Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 hi there everybody, im new to the boards. i am actually thinking about this and what do i come to see, someone installing hid's. i was thinking about the 99' & 00' es300's that have the hid, why cant we just swap over the headlights(because they already have the projector and it is oem) and ballast from those year lex's? also, what style bulb does the 97 have? Charley

vcv10guy Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 wow, that looks really nice mburnickas. where did you mount the ballast on your ES, and was it pretty much easy to install the kit? also, did you get your kit off of ebay too? thanks

It took about 35 minutes to install and I got them off http://www.projectimport.com/ but I do not think they sell them anymore You can still buy them at http://www.xenondepot.com/. I paid like $420 shipped back in 2002
vcv10guy Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 all right thanks for your help. probably will buy this kit before the end of the year.
