Best HID's

[gtofast]

Looking to put HIDs in my headlights and foglights, where would everyone recommend?
Any Pics?

i dont know which are the best , but what i have seen, is melted head light bulb plugs due to the extra heat and current going to them

thats highly unlikely HID's run way cooler and use less power than regular bulbs Infact I can put my hand right next to the bulbs and its not that hot at all

I have 6000k's in both headlights and fogs and they are perfect. Talk to Raul or Gcop they both have good info

Someone must have REALLY messed things up for that to happen HID's are much cooler than halogen, and only draw about 3-4 amps of current and 35 watts of power, far less than halogen as well.

GCOP or Raul, but some of use have been having problems with running the HID's the harness may not have enough amps to turn them on, on the low beam setting. I moved mine over to high beam and so far so good.

Its not so much the temp, but the amps are too much for the stock harness

yes the replacement bulbs that use more wattage will cause all that but actual HID bulbs with the ballasts and all actually use less wattage and hardly generate any heat
