RE: just won hid kit on ebay!!!
UL just means that they are found to meet certain standards set in the industry for electrical items (christmas lights to TVs to appliances (anything electronic)). Just means it has been approved as a safe electronic device.
Wikipedia Article: " Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) is a U.S. not-for-profit, privately owned and operated product safety testing and certification organization. Based in Northbrook, Illinois, UL develops standards and test procedures for products, materials, components, assemblies, tools and equipment, chiefly dealing with product safety. UL also evaluates and certifies the efficiency of a company’s business processes through its management system registration programs. Additionally, UL analyzes drinking and other clean water samples through its drinking water laboratory in South Bend, Indiana. UL is one of several companies approved for such testing by the U.S. federal agency OSHA. OSHA maintains a list of approved testing laboratories, known as Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories." |

Trust me when I say this. I hope that NONE of you ever have to go through a UL or CSA certification process! I was just getting into it when the engineering department was restructured, after which it was no longer my responsibility. Man was that a HUGE sigh of relief!!

RE: just won hid kit on ebay!!!
Good deal gr81. I am just going to plug them in the way they tell me. I don't want to risk messing them up. These are the same way. I just plug in the stock harness into the opening and it relays it through to the new harness with the hid bulb. I wish I had a sponsorship so I could get stuff for free[&o]

I wish I had a sponsorship so I could get stuff for free[&o] Sponsorship has its ups and downs, you just have to do alot in order to start getting stuff!! So basically if you are an offroad lifted guy I will tell you now its harder for you to get any sponsorships unless you go all out, I got lucky cause my friend has his own business and we been friends for 10yrs so thats how I am getting my stuff for free!! ( alot of back scratching and promotion help) |

You could also mount them like this so they get plenty of cooldown:

RE: just won hid kit on ebay!!!
I haven't tried putting the headlight covers on yet at night, I will have to try that and see how they work with them on, and if there bright enough I will just keep them on!! That was my only problem with them is that they are so dark you can't see the headlights out in front of you very well at all!!

Blue is the hardest for our eyes to work with. For the most light output, you want 4300k. 8000k is also more prone to glare due to its easy refractive nature. |
RE: just won hid kit on ebay!!!
Well when I installed my hid's my buddy who I got them from has 4300 in his frontier and we went and compared them and mine lit up the area more then his. Maybe its what we thought and were wrong but thats what it seemed like when we compared each others! Either way you look at it hid's are sweet!!:D
