Got my spec-d headlights.. now I need HID.

So I got my spec-d’s and I’ve heard it is best to go ahead and buy HIDs to put on before you install.

I am a noob and don’t know much about HID kits or where to install them.

Any links or help?

Thank you! Merry Christmas

Ok so I have done some more research. If anyone knows what they’re doing could they recommend one of these? Also if it is the morimoto could you tell me what options I myst add on?

I think you picked the wrong kit. This is what you want

H11 for the low beam. You don’t really need the optional things.

Sorry ignore my previous post. I believe the spec d has a different housing.
I don’t have those lights.

No, you should call TheRetrofitSource on the phone and talk to them. The stock projectors in the Spec-D headlamps aren't as nice as the ones you can buy from TRS.
