I need an opinion!!!!

I just bought 2 hid kits for my clk one for my headlingts H7, and the other are H1 for the fog lights. I did it like this because i want all my bulbs to match so far is good but I still need to change the bulb on the high beans sinse i dont think i will be spending in another hid kit for the high beans and daytime runing lights. (but i need to change it so the whole front will match) Here is the link of the kits i got http://www.gohid.com/product_1748_486.html 9000K Ultraviolet Purple its what i bought sinse the color of my car is burgundy it will look better than the blue-ish HID's now i need help on where to get a regular H7 bulb but i has to be purple so it will go with the headlights and foglights as well. I spend so $698 on those 2 HID kits.

I should br getting these buy wednesday of this week i will post pictures once i install them so you guys cant pick at it and flame me lol.

They usually have bulbs on ebay but I just checked for 9000k and they dont have any. I've actually never seen 9000k's before. Good luck.

I just ordered them and the armrest for mine.

Jerry said the door handles he should have within 2 weeks

they are suppose to pop off and the new ones just pop back on .. or snap on ...

easy to do from what i am told.

Ill post pics when i get them

Door handles are literally pop off, pop on. 1 minute per side. The wood armrest just sits on your factory vinyl armrest (yes, it's vinyl unless you have a Designo interior) with adhesive on the underside.

sorry but, i gotta flame... why would you get 9000K HIDs? there will be so much glare, and not much luminance...

oh, Also, since you have a '99 CLk430... you need H3s for your foglight... not H1s

hope you can return it...

.... ok dude... first off, that site is retarded. clk320 and clk430 have different bulb type. h1 and h3. maybe you should check a more reliable source before you start to


so on you

Damn, why are you guys being so hard on him? He ordered what the site told him to order. I believe that it takes the H3 but I'm sure he can return the H1's in exchange for the H3. I also think that 9000K would look better on his car than say a 8000k. I say this because his car is a burgundy color and wouldn't look right if he had "bluish" lights. Dont we mod cars to be different anyway?

it's just the internet...




but about the color being 9000k.. that's ridiculous. it's not like they can see that the car is burgundy at night.. it'll just look like another dark car with purple lights.

I dont know about where you live but we have lights on our streets so you can see the color of the cars driving at night. I'm not going to argue about what he decides to put on his car because after all, its HIS car. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. Theres no point in arguing over this!

well said... they are our opinions. i don't live in the city where lights are all over the place but like most places, the street lights are orange and they make the car look darker, regardless of color.

Ok. I just install the HID kit yesterday with the help of blackbenzz. looks better than those 8000k and no glare what so ever just to let you know. I will be installing the H1 kit for the fogs on monday, then i will take a picture so you can see that there is no glare at all and they do look a lot better than you think.
