HID Kits CONFUSING: need help.
HID Kits CONFUSING: need help.
I am installing black projector headlamps (none cheese graters). I would like to also install a 6,000 HID/Xenon kit. Have been reading and getting confused.
Seems that there are plenty of gripes about the various kit manufacturers.
Question 1: What is a good kit manufacturer or brand name ?
Seems there are various complaints about flickering.
Question 2: What is a good kit that would not flicker, and what additional apparatus would prevent flickering ?
Seems that you can apply the kit to any of your lights.
Question 3: Are the low beams the best to use with a single kit ?

There are a few companies with HID kits. There is a sponsor on the board HIDextra selling kits for $44. You have to let them know you need the error canceling capacitor to avoid flickering. You could also go with ijdmtoy, ddmtuning, or the best HID kit MTEC (they will run you $300). Yes use them for the low beams. I'm using HIDextra in my healights and fogs.
