Hids On The 95-97..

[JimsGX]

Well Sir I might have to since no one will talk to me!

What do I have leprosy?

Does anybody have any experience with Xtreme HIDs? Looks like a nice Bi-Xenon kit for $140, w/ 1 year warranty.

35W 5000k

Ok so here's what I'm looking at now...

The XenonDepot H4 / 9003 5000k Bi-Xenon Xtreme HID Conversion Kit. 35W

Regularly $499.99 on sale for $219.99..

Comes with:

2 x 5000k Laser Calibrated HID/Xenon Bulbs

2 x Xtreme HID Digital Ballasts

2 x Complete Wiring Harnesses – 1 per side

Separate fuses and relays for each side.. Sounds like a very nice kit. I've heard very good things about Xenon Depot too.

this is definately a dumb question but uh whats the difference in BI-xenon and xenon??

[jcrome04]

HI beam + Low beam HID

The bulb itself mechanically pulls back with a magnet to create a high beam pattern. So you don't loose your high beams. Better than a dual filament HID.

Remember, the only dumb question is one not asked! ;)

ahh okay, thats what i was thinking but i wasnt sure.

soo what would i need H4, H13? i have no idea what the difference is

i was thinking abuot going with the 6000k (diamond-white)

[jcrome04]

You have a 96 i see? You'd need an H4 as well.

Fogs = 9006

HI's = 9005

low/HI = 9003/H4

6000k would be significantly blue. 4300k-5000k for the brightest, best output.

~3000k golden yellow

~4300k natural sunlight

~5000k pure white

..

Here's a good link for the color temps

yeahh i see. but it says it would only be a light hue of blue to it.

and thanks for clearing up the hi/low and fogs.

have you ordered yours yet?

[jcrome04]

5000k is a pure white. just BARELY any blue noticeable.

6000k is much more blue. Kind of like the tuner halogen bulbs with blue glass... Mostly white, but a lot more blue. Oncoming traffic will see them mostly as blue.

6000k is cool if that's what you want. Anything over 6000k really has horrible output. I personally would never go over 5000k cause I love the pure white look. And it get's the most light on the road.

I haven't ordered yet. Want to soon.

[Tommy_B]

oohhh jcrome i might not have to get a new alternator, it may just be the trunk wiring thing. :D

ima gonna be sure to check that first atleast.. im glad i looked around up here

[jcrome04]

Trunk wiring is the best fix ever B)

My old 91 LS got to 186k and never needed it fixed. (luckily)

Keep us posted on it, whether it fixes or not.
