    H.I.D.

    Im lookin for and H.I.D. kit but i cant find a kit that has high and low beam. i always only find one or the other. Do i need the H4's? One of my team mates has a civic Si and he has high and low beam H.I.D.'s on one bulb and he said they were h4's.

    Most h4 kits I believe have the option of having one bulb that has a HID low beam and halogen high beam. There's also a bi-xenon HID kit that operates low and high beam. If you're running a stock housing, get 4300k or 6000k at the highest so you won't be harrassed by the cops, some 8000k kits or higher are too blue. Search around on ebay for a few kits.

    It really depends on the brand I guess. 4300k and 6000k has the highest... lumens, I believe it's called, so they'll light up the road a little bit better

    yea my team mate has 8k on his and he has been pulled over 4 times in 5 weeks because his lights are too blue. I found one kit that is 6k and has high and low beam, the bi-xenon but it costs an extra $140 for those. im kinda iffy about the site. Does 6k h4 bi-xenon kit for $369 sound right to u?

    369 for HIDs is a bit pricey, i paid $110 for my set but they arent bi-xenon

    I think high beam HIDs are a little pointless IMO. I say just get the low beam HID and high beam Halogen. I have 6000k HIDs for low beams and I really don't even need to use my high beams which are halogen.

    If it's aimed right, you'll be okay with the stock housing. I mean.. HIDs aren't really made for it, but you'll see 10x the improvement anyway with them. Your halogen high beams will be fine. I really don't think you'll use them as often with the HIDs

    hold on im confused, i can have H.I.D. low beam and halogen high beam on the same bulb? not two different bulbs?

    Yeah 8000k would be too blue. The 6000k is just right, it's pure white with a very small hint of blue. I even have a blue purple cutoff line on my projectors from them, it's pretty sweet. Oh yeah, I have the same brand of HIDs I posted in those ebay links

    If you want HIDs you should contact Jesus from Miami Redline Motorsports, he is a TGC Member and can provide probably the best customer service to boot.

    Infact here is his selling thread from our vendor forum.

    The kelvin bulb temperature is ALWAYS the same. The wattage may vary.

    8000K is perfect, IMO.

    Visit the Group Buy forum. There is someone selling them for something like $175 shipped. https://thegalantcenter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59567
