Hid i d recommendations? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Vincenttam · 11-05-2013, 02:57 AM

So I'm think of getting hids but i don't know what to buy. I'm set on some 6000k but I'm not sure how much i should be spending. I see some that range from 30-220$. I have some vendors book marked on this page cause i obviously trust it more than ebay or amazon. Any recommendations guys?? Should i get hids first or reverse / licensee lights?

Don't cheap out on something you'll use regularly.

I have the Meng Motorsports V2 kit in 6k and love it. Get compliments on it often. I think its just over $100 (I won mine at a meet, so idk exactly). Retrofit is the proper way, but as long as you bend the squirrel finders and adjust the lights a PnP kit is fine.

if you want someone with great quality service and HIGH Quality with warranty then go with HID_Powerhouse... they are fricken Awesome - no flickering for mine and my ballast went out and they replaced it for me ASAP

Please do, and some pics of your car if you have the free time.

It feels like most people are happy with their 100-130 hids. I don't think im ready to drop 300$ into lights seeing how im not expert in them to know what im getting. Probably if i ever want to build a show car, but thats a long way from now.

If you're not comfortable making your own decisions, try researching the pros/cons of using a PnP HID kit versus the correct way of retrofitting HID projectors.

I'll send you the link and some pics when I get off work about an hour or so, I felt the same way about dropping a lot of money but these are legit, no problems what so ever.
