Which hid kit?
« on: June 28, 2016, 03:57:48 pm »
Which hid kit is the best to go for? Ordered some depo projector headlights so need some for them.  Also looking around some are 35w and others 55w which is the one I need?

The ballast i screwed underneath the headlamps, the wires and the other square bits I managed to push down and also place towards the bottom of the headlamps.

Personally I'd go for a 55w 5000k kit as it'll be a bit brighter

i ended up going for the metal base h7 35w ones at around 5000k. I did the 6 oclock mod though which was fun with the metal.
