where can i get a hid kit for my 98 civic ex has to have a ballast. this guy got some off ebay and they looked really clean...not sure what k they were but looked stock. he said for around 75 bucks..any suggestions on ebay products maybe a link would be nice. thanks

 

also what K would be the closest to say a BMW HID but i know they probably wont look as good

 

not sure exactly what it is your looking for in the kit by your first post but most factory hids are around 8k

 

I thought BMW had 4600K as their standard.

 

talk to basbal123 he might be able to help you out and i thought factory where 43000k-5000k?.. 8000k seem abit to blue to me to be factory.

 

maybe, now i think about it i think its 8k everyone goes with when putting aftermarket in

 

yes 8k is...your correct. any websites or what not for best deals?

 

He sells them for mobilehid.com they're the same as mine.

 

most factory HIDs are between 4k and 6k. 8K seems to be the most popular choice with aftermarket kits; I believe 7k is the highest you can go before you technically start losing visibility. I have 8k's and I love the things personally; I'd have gone with 6k but I'm a ricer and I need the blue lol.

Also, I believe oznium has a link to an HID sales page (technically oznium doesn't actually sell them) which seem to be decent quality.

Also, just so you know, putting HID lights in halogen reflector housings is going to create a lot of glare and more or less blind other drivers; keep that in mind.

 

i have a old set of HIDs from my 99civic. i upgraded to some bixenon hids and no longer need them...
ill let em go for 60shipped if paid thru paypal and in the US 48states...
they are 8K HIDS from flowlighting that i bought from oznium awhile ago. the bulbs have very little use on them since i switched to 8K hids last winter and havent driven the 99civic much. and i also had one ballast replaced thinking it was bad but it wasnt it was a bad bulb but i already swaped out the ballast so i sent them back the old ballast and bad bulb thats when i switched to 8K bulbs.


the glares not to bad at all...
i would suggest adjusting your headlights after installing the hids mainly turn the bulbs down alittle.
this is the only pictures i have of my 8K and 6K bulb comparison. the 8K hid is on the drivers side. and the 6K is on the passenger side.
