HID Install

[H2 007]

Just some pics I took today of the HID install I did today. I haven't been a big fan of the bug eye look projector HID's so I figured for $89 shipped I'd give these a try and see how they go. So far they seem to be OK.

I also did some testing with line voltage at the factory headlight plug. Some of the kits recommend a separate relay harness if the voltage is low. Other vehicles I've had have shown up to a 2 volt difference at the light socket .vs at the battery. The H2 was exactly the same voltage at the headlight as it was at the battery.

Figured I'd post some pics for others that may be interested in doing the same mod. Total time was about 15 minutes.

Are they the bi models with both high and low beams.... Where did you get those for $89 shipped???? Sounds like a killer deal, are they plug and play as well??
Looks great....sorry for all of the questions.

They are the single, non high beam type. I never use high beams to begin with and I've heard with these you'd use them even less. Total plug and play also. 15 minute install total.

I got them off of eBay after doing quite a bit of research. Found some good HID articles that indicated that most of these kits are produced by the same companies and some just sell them for more.

One article had a review of a kit that was $100 and a kit that was $600. They were the exact same thing, inside and out with a different label stuck on them.

Here's the link to the eBay seller. Another deciding factor was that this guy has a 100% feedback rating with over 2300 feedbacks.

Cool lead! Was going to go the Xenarc full replacement route but $89 vs $439 might just sway me, plus these do look nice!! Still happy with them??

Thx,
Joe
