would it be ok to just put hids in the stock clear headlights?

has anyone tried that? how would the light output be?

i want hids but dont wanna get depo projectors because some members seem to have problems with the depo.

and what type bulb would give the whitest look? 4300K? or 6000K? or 8000K?

 

i used 8k headlight and it looks awesome

 

i got Carlab HID 8000K, for my Benz and my friend's 99' Accord, his light output is dark blue... and my is just plain white, but my is a lot brighter than his

 

i am selling 6000 K in the classifieds...

MB uses 4300 K in their stock bixenons b/c its the whitest and brightest light. The higher the temperature, the more blue the light becomes and the less bright.

I am selling a 6000 K HID kit in the classifieds which has nice blue hue, but not as blue as the 8000 K its. Although it is brighter than the 8000 K kits.

i've tried to read throught most of the xenon/hid threads. one of my concerns is the error message. i was wondering what brands/ kits people have installed sucessfully WITHOUT the R/L headlight message and without flickering. I was going to go with the HELLA ballast/philips bulb. (BTW want to install into an 06' Clk350). thanks in advance.

carlab one has no error message

 

can u put a carlab hid kit in the stock headlights?

will the light output be good and not all scattered all over the place?

 

it will be good... the projection line will not be as clean as a bixenon kit... but it will get the job done. the kit i'm selling is from carlabs and should meet your needs if you're insterested.

 

yea i'd recommend the carlab kit because it has really nice light output,
i don't really know why but mine seems brighter than my friend clk stock hid
and bluer

 

how much is the carlab hid kit?

 

contact darwin, the price is pretty fair i think

 

I'm new to the forum. who is darwin? is that his member name? also is carlab better than the hella kit?

 

Try checking Carlab in the Sponsors link, Darwin is from Carlab

 

Hey guys I am thinking of getting some HID's (6000K) for my fogs. Been thinking about it for a while, but the other day I saw a E55 and C55 with HID fogs and that just convinced me completely. I have heard a lot about Darwin, so I searched the forum members' listing...all I could find was Anthony, JLee, and John from Carlab...no Darwin.

Btw, how much does the CarLab HID kit usually run for? $265?

 

u know if i bring him a keg of beer he give u extra discount

btw, u will need city light too

 

city light is just a bulb right?

so does darwin carry both the h7 hid and the 9006 hid kits?

 

on my 07... it works perfect after xenon=present

 

thats nice man. what temp u got?

6000K?

 

yes

 

if you want to get new you should order from darwin... but mine is almost new and i originally purchased the kit from carlabs so its the same thing if you feel like saving some $$

 

I will need a new citylight? I mean...I already changed my city light to kind of match my bix's. All I need are HID fogs.

So when are ya planning to throw a kegger at CarLab?

Oh yeah...so how do I exactly get ahold of Darwin?

 

Here are the carlab HIDs without needing to change xenons to present.

 

I've also heard that Carlab HID throw obc error on some member's car
So, doesn't necessarily mean, if you get carlab HID, then you won't get error msg. If you have bad luck, you might still do.
Also, tech1hid shouldn't throw obc error, at least mine doesn't throw one.
so check it out.
I would recommand 5000k, I think anything above 6000k is a little too blueish and might catch too much attention.

 

Darwin told me with the version 5 that they won't flicker or need them set to present.

 

i think i have version 4 or 5 , not too sure, but it does not have those problems at all
