Check out Hidextra.com. They are a vendor here on the forum. $60 shipped for a kit. Many people on here have ordered from them and have written some good reviews. Check out there thread down in the classified section.

Got mine in the mail yesterday from HIDextra, will probably install them this weekend!

HIDextra FTW. They're a great vendor...I haven't heard any bad things from the large number of customers that have bought and installed their systems here on the forum. Plus, you can't beat the price!

I got HIDextra 8000k love em so far.

Ryanmatt135 02-18-2010 11:51 AM

for the people with HID kits installed...What K value do you reccomend? i want one with the brightest light. i was thinking 8000k or 10000k, which would you reccomend from HIDextra.com?

8000K - 10,000K are a lot more blue. the "whitest, closest the the sun at noon'ish" are the 4300K.
6000K are very close as well. Lower than 4300K & the color starts going yellow to orange to red.
HIDXtra has a chart for color temps. in the thread here or at least a link to it. Google
works well.

I ordered 5k, will post pics after I install them.

There are a couple pictures in my gallery of my 8000k to compare.

Will looks like HIDExtra is were ill get the next kit thanks> Also any one know if the kit can be hooked up to a toogle switch instead of using factory harness

Rottidog 02-18-2010 06:30 PM

HIDxrta's are PNP - Plug n PLay, they hook right up to factory harnesses. Why would you want headlights on a toggle?

Benedict1337 02-18-2010 06:38 PM

I have 4300K on mine and mine are preditors from ddmtuning.com they are bmw HID so you know they are good.

BlazerLS 02-18-2010 08:36 PM

Rottidog> the only reason is that when i put high beam i want low beam to stay on too for offroading at night so i guess hids should work fine on a toggle switch

Rottidog 02-18-2010 09:42 PM

nah, theres a thread ummm something about a headlight bypass, it consists of splicing into or using a 3 way connector & ground a/the yellow wire i think, from the headlights so when you click on the high beams the low beams stay on

do a search for headlight bypass or ? & you'll find it ;)

"i want one with the brightest light. i was thinking 8000k or 10000k" <-- 8000K aren't what you want if you the "brightest, whitest light" http://www.h-i-d.co.uk/ <--- scroll down, right side of the page, that gives you an idea of the color/intensity of the K value.
trust me, 8000K is blue, I've had them for 8 months or so & they 'burn in' a light blue after awhile. I like it, love it for the street/in the city, but highway I'm getting 4300K or 5000K for the high beams.
