i have a 93 SC400

 

I would recommend going to www.vvme.com and ordering from them. I have 2 of their 55W HID kits. 4300K low beams in the projectors and 10000K in the foglights. EXTREMELY bright. If you are new to HID, which I assume you are, you need a relay harness for your specific bulb type in order for the HID kit to function properly since HIDs did not come with our cars from the factory. An HID relay harness pretty much just draws power from the battery directly when you turn the headlight switch on and powers the HIDs continuously with juice/power from the battery instead of putting a drain on your electrical system by drawing too much current from the stock headlight harnesses. Go on eBay and get a relay harness for each bulb type, in our cars the low beams in the projectors are 9006 bulbs and H3 bulbs in our fog lights. Each relay harness are about $10 shipped and are VERY self-explanatory in hooking up if you know basic positive/negative electrical work on a car. My advice to you would be to either go to the website I listed above and order that way or look on eBay and search for '55W HID Kit' and order that way. You can get the 55W HID kits for like $55-60 shipped in 2-4 days via DHL from that same VVME.com company I mentioned above. They sell their kits sometimes cheaper on eBay so I would go that route. Trust me though when I say this, once you go 55W HID, you NEVER want to go back to 35W HID. The light outputs just do not compare to one another. Keep in mind though, that color temperature often has a misconception on brightness. The higher the number in kelvin (K) the LESS bright the light is. The lower the number in kelvin (K), the MORE bright the light is. The only difference with higher color temperatures is the color intensity. As you can probably tell, as you increase the kelvin (K), you will see more bolder/deeper exotic looking colors. It sucks that you can't have both brightness and cool colors, I know, but with 55W HID it really doesn't matter too much what color temperature you get because 55W is dramatically brighter than 35W standard HID. But anyway, pick the colors you want, definitely go with 55W HIDs in the low beams and fog lights, get relay harnesses to power the HID kits, and buy from the company I said above; you won't be disappointed. Hope this helps you.

 

I recommend going with a Volt kit from our vendor Xenon Depot. They have great customer service and stand by their product! https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...much-more.html . Steve will answer any questions you have.

 

^^ woo!! Great post above! Answered all of my questions that I couldnt find the answer too, and have been too afraid to ask cuz I'd get lit up on the boards!

 

quick question, how reliable are the kits on those sites?

 

hey rooticon, i looked at the website you posted up and it looks really good. i was looking at the relays harness's and there was a box checked for 5000k temp. I didnt know what they ment so i figured ask here before buying. definatly cheaper than some other places.
I did find another site and was wondering what you guys think of it.

thanks

 

My father and I both have the volt Hid kits for our fog lights and they have been reliable. I haven't seen anyone with problems with the volt kit on CL. Besides with xenon depot's customer service if you have any problems with anything, you are sure to be taken care of.

 

I'm biased but can guarantee you that our Volt kits priced at $94.99 (for a limited time only) will be the best deal you're going to get on a kit.

I would stick with a 35watt bulb/ballast combo!
