Winjet headlight HID fitment question
 
My winet headlight is being hipped and in a mean time I'm trying to get new H7 hid from eBay.
Any feedback from eBay HID?? I'm trying to get

http://m.ebay.ca/itm/141387751670?_mwBanner=1

This opt7 hid kit. Would it fit to Winjet headlight?? I've personally never heard of OPT7 brand but their pricing is really good for hid kit.

Thanks in advance

Well based on what the ebay fitment selection says, it wont fit the FRS bulb socket. The kit you're looking at is an h7 and we use an h11 for the low beam. I'm sure the winjet being made for this car will use the same bulb/socket. You may want to look at something plug and play for this car so you wont have to be crimping, splicing and or sordering wires like you'll have to with that Ebay kit. Check it Diode Dynamics for better info, they have excellent kits and have the best customer service around. Honestly speaking i would be scared to use a $33 HID kit, but thats just me.

Winjet Headlight uses h7 bulb for better light output (it says on their website lol).
I'm using $40 dollars ebay HID kit for my stock headlight, and not a single problem so far.
But i need to talk to Diode Dynamic vendor to get a quote first. I heard a lot of complinemt on their HID Kit.

If thats the case then you're good to go, the only thing to wire is the hid bulb to the oem socket. Im no lighting pro so i dont know much about types of sockets for the different bulbs but as far as compatibilty the HID kit will match your bulb type for the headlamps, the only thing is the universal hid bulb wiring that needs to be mated to the oem bulb socket. Maybe you could use the harness Winjet uses for the h7 bulb to oem socket to connect the HID bulb to oem socket. Hopefully someone with similar modification could chime in.

Diode Dynamics HID kits are very well built, and have a full 3 year replacement warranty on bulbs, ballasts and relays...

I have a bunch of their LED stuff on my car!

Ordered DDM tuning hid kit. Will update when they come in and installed on my winjets

I have an opt 7 kit. It used to be my main bulb but had flickering issues and would only come on every once in awhile I've had to had ballast and bulbs replaced in the 6 or so months I've owned the kit.

Honestly customer service is a+++ but the product is crap. Save up some more money and buy a better kit I regret buying mine.

We recommend running a better quality HID kit to avoid any flickering issues or having to replace bulbs more often. A well-engineered HID kit should last you a long time (at least several years). :thumbsup:

I just picked up and installed a DDMTuning HID kit on my Winjets today, I went with the H7, 35w in 5000k. Install was straightforward, plug and play.

After lighting them up for the first time, the angle was extremely off but I was able to adjust it with a 8m socket like in this video:

Here's a picture of the cutoff and pic of it installed.

I've used DDM kits on all my cars so far, they have lifetime warranty which is convenient for me since they're local to me.
Output is much brighter than the H11s on the stock headlights, but also depends on how you adjust and angle the lights.
