I ordered the MTEC HID conversion kit for my 98 GS3. I will post up some pics before/after.

 

I just connected some projectors to my ballast to see how much of a difference it would make with them. What a difference between my aftermarket HID plug and play and the projectors. Great cutoff and more usable light output. At least I'm able to use my ballasts and ignitors from the plug and play kit I bought but I should have done the retrofit from the beginning but you live and you learn. Happy I'm going the retrofit route now.

 

kanedl25- show us pictures man!!!

 

I still haven't gotten the retrofit done. I have to buy one more headlight. I just plugged the projectors to my ballasts to see how it would look. But the difference was amazing.

 

I just installed some cheap *** Ebay $135 HID kit on my SC and works great. 5 min to install, kit didnt require a ground or a separate battery power nor relays. Very simple plug and play.


I have a nice cutoff too (96 SC300). My buddy had a 95 SC300 and his cutoff was fine too.

 

LOL! The above post is mine. I guess my friend didnt log off my comp and I posted with his name. Haha. Anyways Ill update after a week or so of how the kit is holding up and if you want to know what kit i bought I can link you.

Ive sold HID kits and installed them on various cars and if you have a projector lense it usually has a cutoff. The main difference I noticed when mixing and matching and testing various kits is the cheaper kit ballast might be a tad bit weaker. Like a phillips or hella ballast gives a tad bit more brighter intensity but works basically the same. Im testing this ebay one to see how well it lasts.

Also I only recommend 4300K because the other colors make it harder to see. Max I would go to 5000K, 4300K seems the best.

 

k guys im confused....wut is better, 4300k or 6000k...maybe i should start a poll?

 

Lower the K rating, the brighter the output. 5200 and lower is OEM

4300k for clarity, 6000k for coolness.

 

exactly

once you go below 4300k temp though, it starts to shift to the yellow spectrum of light. the 3000k kits are yellow for something like a foglight setup.

 

ok got it!!

 

i choose to be a blind cool guy then lol

 

Why not get a 5000K that way you get good light output and slight hint of blue. I believe the lumens for 4300K is 3200 and for 5000K is like 3000-3150.

 

I have the 200 headlights on my SC3 With a simple plug and play. My cut off is awesome and i have a blue tint to the cutoff and als im running 6k HIDS no probs so far. 4 months and counting.

 

could you give me link to where u bought ur kit?>
