Super Silverado Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I am interested in HID's for my '03 SSS. All I know if that they are better than the stock ones though. How much should I expect to pay? How hard are they to install? I'm not good with wiring or electrical, so should I pay someone to do it? Thanks guys!

12'SROCK Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 they are really easy to install, depending on which kit you get they all vary in quality, warranty and performance. i sell them as well if you follow the link in my sig and ask fellow SS members who previously purchased these kits from me and they will tell you how great they are and the quality they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawgbone Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 yep 24/7 for any car truck SUV Do these kits come with high beam ballast and bulbs as well? Can I keep my hi/low harness that I currently use to have my low beams stay on when using high beams? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-CHEVY-SI...emZ380065702333 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawgbone Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 yes you can still use your hi/lo relay harness with HID high beams or low beams Kewl...Thanks To do the whole truck, I would need 2 kits...$450... correct? How well does the HID high beams work when you flash your high beams? It looks like they fire fairly fast, but does it hurt the ballast at all? Is it even recommended to use HID high beams? I know most factory HIDs just use one bulb and rely on a shutter for hi/low... Sorry for the questions, I'm just wondering if I should even bother with HIDs... I live out in the boonies and drive long, dark roads... with the fall/winter weather coming, so do the deer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champion201 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Isstall is cake. The most time consuming part of the installation is figuring out where to mount the ballasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocoop Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Theres a bunch of good places to hide the ballasts, I bet you cant find any of the 6 I got in mine. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrtbeat1 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Theres a bunch of good places to hide the ballasts, I bet you cant find any of the 6 I got in mine. haha I've only got 4 but it would be hard to find mine either. I found a really good place to mount them. My passenger side headlight support broke the mounting tab, when I took the front end apart to replace the support I found a nifty place, the radiator support has three mouning bolts on either side, my ballasts came with a bracket and guess what they fit perfectly. Two on each side near the ends of the radiator support on hte lower side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Has anyone the HIDs 30K's yet? They only come in purple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Has anyone the HIDs 30K's yet? They only come in purple? just a little HID 101. . .the onley TRUE colors of the bulbs are 4300K, 5000K, 6000K, 8000K. . . . .everything else is not a true color. . the 3000K and 12000K are coated bulbs in order to filter out certain colors to generate their respective color. anything else anyone else tells you is bullshit end of story. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
