Lightbulb MobileHID HID KIT INSTALLED (8000K)


Had I done the install and all of the shots at night, the pictures would be much more dramatic, and it wouldn't only look as if I changed the stock Halogen's out with some PIAA bulbs

Ill be posting quality "After" night shots including output pics later this week, stay tuned...

The install was fairly easy and only took about an hour.

Overall, the lights are night and day different then my stock halogen lights. The light output seem as good if not better then stock...

Needless to say, I am very happy with them thus far and recommend this mod to anyone who's vehicle didn't come from the factory with HID's but has contemplated doing an install...

i just installed my 6500K this weekend too. I knew that it would be significantly brighter, but I can drive without the fogs and still fill out the road pretty well. Now that i have HIDs and LED city lights, my fogs look like crap.

I agree... I'm contemplating just going "max yellow" now on the fogs VIA new yellow fog bulbs myself...

I also went with mobileHIDs. 6k lows and 3k fogs. Once you get the fogs ppl heads be turning when you drive by them.

I believe they go for $180 brand new...

However, I bought them from ankurman20 who was selling them for $100 shipped...

I also bought a bag of 14" zip ties for $2.49 and a couple Rubber grommets for the hole I drilled in the "access covers"...
