cheo Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 i have an HID kit on my 99 5.3 i went with the 6000K Pilot, gotta go with Ebay =D....http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j314/paleterocheo/?action=view¤t=fotoS041.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rausche Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Yeah, I know how and where to get the actual kit (as far as bulbs and ballasts go), what I'm having made is the housings, so I can get TRUE hid projectors retrofitted into my truck... It will be a truly unique thing (because nobody else is dumb enough to spend $1000+ on headlights)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkt71 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 DAMN $2K for HID projectors? Thats a lot ! Imagine if your front end got smashed up... insurance probably wouldnt even cover that unless you had additional coverage. I like HIDs... but for that kind of money I would just get the HID kit from bgdsub for $100 or so and call it a day !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes out to around $1200ish for the housings, the actual HID kit i'm looking at (ballasts, bulbs, wiring, relays, etc.) is only like, $300ish, and that's for a 50 watt kit...

You know what, I guess I didnt read your post the right way, for some reason I was thinking it was $875 for EACH headlight.. lol. That price is something I would expect then. Still a lot of money for headlights though, but then again... how many people would have them? That would be pretty killer to see true retrofitted HIDs on a Silverado!

Badkarma Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Any progress with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rausche Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 None yet, I'm building up the drive-train before I go crazy with cosmetics... It'll prolly be another year before I get around to ordering these... I really want to order them, but right now the money is better spent elsewhere...
