Anyone know of some bad a** 6000k HID kits for headlights and fog-lights for a 98 Lexus es300?

EEngineer

no such thing lol.
but yea, Philips ones are considered one of the best.

Exactly. They are all made in China anyways.

Just get the cheapest one you can find off Ebay.

Personally, I would also add a relay just to be safe.

With the amount of HID kits out on the market nowadays, you do have to be a little more careful. The best thing to do would be to educate yourself and ask questions rather than buying a kit strictly based on the cheapest price you can find.

What is the failure rate on the ballasts? What kind of warranty is offered? Does the company have good customer support and list a phone number on their site? Do the ballasts run on AC or DC current? Are they true low draw? etc... These are just some of the questions you have to ask when selecting an HID kit.

Also, be careful with the "Philips HID kits". Philips actually does not even make an aftermarket HID kit so those "Philips HID conversion kits" are not made by Philips and do not use true German parts.

DDM Tuning are awesome. i was sketchy at first about buying them because it was only $40 for a 35W 6000k hid kit but I have been more than impressed with them. extremely bright and the perfect color

Yea I have what you want in fogs and headlights from ddm tuning and there dope!! Definitely recommend them

I recommend DDM Tuning as well. I have the 6000k slim ballast set on my 2012 Hyundai Sonata

The most impressive thing you can do is a proper projector retrofit. I'd recommend the Morimoto H1 projectors for a "plug and play" hid system

EDIT: I did it to my girlfriends 01 Camry

How much work is it really? And by that i mean costs...

I'd like a retro and have been eyeing the MH1 for a while now [v 4.1 is the best?] but can't seem to bring myself to buy this stuff.

I don't trust myself with baking these lights open and then dealing with condensation.

I got the set on sale (v3) so total it cost me like $150 including the kit and harness to power the bixenon. Took me about a week since I had to sand the fluted lens on the headlights. If there are no fluted lens, it'll take a few hours at most. All you do is just put it into the bulb hole and tighten it into place. The special adapter plates usually ensure a great fit so its minor tweaking if needed

As for the condensation, I sealed it with butyl tape, silicone, and RTV sealant. Also threw a few packs of silicant inside for back up. Been through many rainstorms so far and they're holding up great still

not a fan at all of DDM....


on the flip side, my XenonDepot Volt kit has been running great for the past 2+ years

EEngineer

+1 on the projector retrofit.
however, i'm not a big fan of the morimotos. too small.
here's the retrofit I did on my previous car, 94 camry with Mercedes Benz E55 Projectors

Glad you're enjoying the XenonDepot Volt HID kit PureDrifter! It's always nice when people post feedback years after they have had a product installed =)

I'm using Garax 6000k HID kit on my fog lamps.
