Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Interesting HID Read For Those Considering Them...

hey guys i told my friend i was going to buy a philips hid kit but after reading this i'm skeptical on buying a hid kit. Don't want to blow a lot of money on something that would be junk. But here's the article. I only read the part on misconception. That's where it tells about the faults of hid.

interesting read, but i'm completely satified with my HIDs i bought on ebay!

thats why i love my OEM HID kit. it may not be as blue as a 8000 kit up close but they made the nice etched lense to give the prism effect seen int eh beemers. that and its amazingly bright. thats why enyone lookign into a kit, i advise if you want blue for looks get 6000 or 8000 at the most, but if you want visiblity get a 4300 kit I personally want to up ym 4300 ome hids to 6000 for a tad bluer color

I have the OEM kit as well I love them.

i just glanced the site, and i think it talks about aftermarket HID on stock projectors and the problems with glare.
that is true, but the cure for it is switching to valeo projectors. they give the OEM look and fix the glare problem and give the oem look

i was gonna buy one of those ebay ones. Besides the glare which I could care less about, will it actual put out less light ouput then a halogen bulb?

it was a good read for thsoe lookign into it. whitceli what are you thinkign of getting? 4300, 6000, 8000, or 12000. i belive 8000 puts out less light then stock. but obviously it looks better in blue i would highly sigges tnot going past 6000 if you want brighter

hid's are better them celica stock oem bulbs..

Very good info

i was either going for the 6000k ones or they have those 5000k ones. Don't really want blue but more of a super bright white maybe with a tiny tinge of blue

wel if you want superbright light then ger 4300 thats waht all stock HID cars have
