Stitches040 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Btw, what bulbs are those in your DRL's? And how the hell is your license plate so reflective? DRL - Amber DRL - Sylvania Silverstars 3157 AST ($10.00 a set) I also have the same bulbs in my Turn signals. Borrowed Photo - License Plate ... All the new series Massachusetts license plates are reflective. That is truly just the right camera angle. No trick photography, but just the right timing.

I wish my license plate was that reflective.. help against that damn photo radar lol Edit: Here is how I routed my ballasts, under the (i guess its called) the rad frame, I got a little lazy with the wiring on the passenger side but you get the gist. You can't quite see the ballasts themselves except thru the holes, but its directly under the bar with the zipties on it. First 2 are passenger side, last one is drivers side.

Cramer Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 all hid bulbs are rated at the same . so the only difference in kits is the ballast . all hid bulbs should be able to handle 60 watts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stg313 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sorry its taking me so long to get back to this......... Wow that is a huge plus, are there mounting spots on it to tie zip ties to? Because DDM slims don't have any holes or anything anymore and its a big piss off when hiding the ballasts. There are plenty of places to zip tie to, as long as your using small zip ties. Ya I wish they had the 55w kit. I would buy em right now for sure. Good source for hids tho. Thanks for sharring with us. I will probably be gettin a kit or two in the near future because I want to get them from a place that will have them for years to come. How long till the 55w kits come out. Jw I just sent him a PM asking that, I will update as soon as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stg313 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just noticed an ad on this site advertising $49 HID kits. Anybody buy one of these kits yet? How is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not a bad deal at all, plus it's a supporting vendor. I may grab a kit for my Infiniti FX35 fogs/driving lights ... EDIT: They don't have my bulb size or temp ... (H8 w/ 4300K ... I want the temp to match factory) ... Edited February 22, 2011 by Stitches040 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypton-Josh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Hi Guys, stg sent me the link over here, I just wanted to straighten some of you out. all hid bulbs are rated at the same . so the only difference in kits is the ballast . all hid bulbs should be able to handle 60 watts. Yes there is a difference, if there isn't i'm getting screwed... If you were to look at a 35W HID bulb the "globe" in it would be smaller than the globe a 55W HID bulb. Not sure where you got your info but for my company it is wrong to the guy that said hes with stupid ^ see above Edited February 22, 2011 by Krypton-Josh (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypton-Josh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just noticed an ad on this site advertising $49 HID kits. Anybody buy one of these kits yet? How is it? If you are talking about DashZ I think it is at the top of the page, that is not a supporting vendor, that is a google ad that pics up keywords in threads and targets the audience that way. If you post about ponys you might see a my little pony ad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypton-Josh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Im not going to be selling these without a relay kit, the 55W kits can damage stock wiring... and I dont want lawsuits. With that said cost for these 55W kits is going to be $80 shipped (with the relay kit) (inside the US). Sorry to any mods here, im not trying to "advertise" just trying to get the facts straight so these guys are on the same page and informed. If this is unacceptable please delete my post.

Krypton-Josh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Also, can someone point me in the driection to seek advertising permissions here? I dont see a "Vendor" upgrade and I dont see anything about sponsoring... depending on how these 55W kits go I might come make a stay over here.

Krypton-Josh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 All this being said guys... you dont need 55W in my opinion. The 55W's should be in nothing but Off road vehicles OR used in a projector housing in a street vehicle. Im saying this as I am about to add another grand in 55's to my order from the factory... I dont want to be stuck with them but people keep asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunswicks SS Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 so theres not much of a difference between 35w and 55w? and how blue is the iceberg blue cant really tell. Im stuck between the diamond white and 8k blue. what do you like better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) so theres not much of a difference between 35w and 55w? and how blue is the iceberg blue cant really tell. Im stuck between the diamond white and 8k blue. what do you like better? There is a huge difference between the 35w and 55w kit. The 55w kit is 40% brighter than the 35w kit. I have used both types in my truck and definitely prefer the 55w kit. I have had 55w kits in both my headlights and reverse lights with the factory wiring for over a year with no issues at all. Also the 55w kits run a lower color than the 35w kit. So an 8000k 55w kit will look like a 6000k 35w kit. I currently have the 55w 8000k up front and the 6000k 55w kit in my reverse lights. Just an FYI my brights are not on in the first pic. These are just my lows Edited February 23, 2011 by Silverado777 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
