diggerdan11 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 These are what im going to get (little broke right now). I have heard lots of good things about Rikensport HIDs Rikensport HIDs are simple plug and play, the only thing extra you might want to do is replace your 10amp fuses with 20amp ones. I have had HIDs before and they are super easy to install, the only thing i would say is stay away from cheap one I bought cheap ones the first time and i had them in all 4 lights but the bulbs went out faster than they should have and then the ballasts went out when it got cold (-10*). So my advice is to spend a little extra and stay away from the cheap Chinese ones. The Rikensports are still inexpensive at $140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSplaytoy Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I have had my hids since DEC 03. I have changed a few bulbs and a relay, but my ballasts are still running strong almost 6 years later. The ballasts are Hella but it was a Meccatune kit with 8300k bulbs. You can't find them anymore tho. I payed almost 375 for them back then. A good kit will still run 150-200 now. Just do some research and the install is super easy. And you shouldn't have to up the amperage on your fuses either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
