IMO HIDs for reverse lights are a terrible idea. Just because of the time it takes them to warm up. might as well burn out the clutch.

I bought my entire package from Ken at HID_Powerhouse and couldn't be happier. The HID kit was pricey, but the quality of the lights and the ballasts is outstanding since it's german made. The DRL's look wonderful and I compared the bulbs to some cheap ebay ones I purchased for 7 bucks... no contest in difference. The G's DRL's were a lot brighter. I got the rest of the package as well for the interior light, license plate, and reverse lights. They're all very bright without overdoing it to an extreme.

A+ for a full solution from HID_Powerhouse. Customer service is outstanding.

Edit: Forgot to mention I got a trunk LED that's freakin sweet too.

Depends on your Prudence for lighting. I myself am going to install 6000k HIDs and 6000k DRLs. The higher you the more blue you get.

From the HID reverse site: "nor do they take long to come to power".

How long are you planning on staying in reverse? LED's come on at full brightness. The reverse ones from HID_Powerhouse are plenty bright.

Here is a picture of the package I bought from HID_Powerhouse



Don't go low quality on the HID's. I'm very glad I put the money into the Euroconcept HID's with the high quality, easy to mount small ballasts.

Interior dome LED panel, reverse LED's, license plate LED's, trunk LED, DRL's, and the two HID's

I bought my DRL LED and TURN SIGNAL AMBER LIGHT from Concept Three. Great product, very happy with it. Fast ship, ordered on Monday, receive my items like Saturday. Have great conversation about questioning the product with Concept Three through PM, good service.

I bought mine from TrueStreetIndustries. Great sturdy fitment. I've had them in for over 4 months now with no issues.

Best HID kit was from DDM tuning. Had 2 vehicles with it for under $50. Both have not given me any problems. As for as DRL got it from concept three, and they sent me some lights with no protective packaging so it got damaged in the transaction. Had to send it back for exchange, and they're refunding my shipping costs. So when I get the DRLS I'll let ya know.
