HIDs??
 
What HIDs a
Is everyone running? I can't stand these halogens with projectors... Also, what high beams is everyone running or the the low beam a dual bulb? And last but not least, day time running lights? What's everyone running?

I ran TRS Morimoto Elite Hid kits in the past but interested in these new LED bulbs but need to see them in person.
Any reviews on this?

These i guess are new because i haven't seen them listed before. Lumens aren't listed but i just wonder if they are reliable and bright enough for low beams.

I'm probably going to go with this all in one HID kit, its 3400 lumens as opposed to 3200 on the HP+. Not sure what the gen2 are but maybe some from there can chime in with the answer.

The LED kits have good reviews on Subispeed which is the same company as FT86SF. I just don't know if i trust them yet and thought about buying a cheaper pair like this to see how they do.

If they suck its only $50 compared to $120

see the way i look at it is... $50 is more than $20/30... if its more than $20/30 i better be happy with it. hahah. i dont make as much as a lot people do, and i almost live pay check to pay check while paying this car off... my commision checks are how i pay for my parts :/

My LED DRL bulbs were like $29 and they definitely aren't bright enough for low beams. I would go with a decent HID kit to be safe if i was in your position.

ive read it, but it doesnt help me with the fact that im trying to see what HIDs people are running. i wasnt looking to run LED bulbs for headlights, just not worth it after reading that thread... trying to see what kits people have gone with an their reviews on them....

I have the morimoto x35 I think. I've ran both 6000k and 5400k and I'm super happy with the 5400k. At about 135 or so, they're a bit more costly than other kits, but they're top notch quality and the retrofit source is amazing with customer service.

Low beam and high beam/drl are two seperate bulbs.
I run HIDs on low and LEDs on high. LED cancels out high beam functionality, but with HIDs you never need to use high beams.

For your HIDs you need a H11 35W HID kit.
Then you pick your color. (5000k is white, 6000k is cool white, etc)

You can get them online from sites like Diode Dynamics, The Retrofit Source, DDM Tuning, Amazon etc.
I actually run DDM Tuning HIDs, they are cheap (prob cheaper quality), but I live down the street from their store. I have had them for 6 months have had no issues at all.
