Default HIDs

Was on ebay and amazon and saw hid conversions for like $40. They worth the money and are they hard to hook up and everything. Saw that they had them for lows, highs, and fogs. Anybody got pics and a DIY for them?

well i see a lot of plug and play kits and they are seriously that easy. Mine wouldnt turn on when i bought a kit a couple yeares back and all it was was the the wires were backwards so i flipped it and i was all good from there. You plug your kit into your existing harness and thats really it.

I can vouch for DDM Tuning, they're like 20mins away from my place and never had problem with their customer service and products. $35 well spent.

Im not trying to create a debate, but please if you havnt looked into HID kits yet in great detail, you will find your 40$ 100$ and even few hundred $ kits to do this..



A good HID kit will not have that glare, or Blind oncoming motorists
which is not only a concern for other motorists but a concern for you as you will have trouble seeing the road too!! and well its your safety we would all be concerned for.
