Default New HID Lights in my T/A





I have the EuroLight conversion housings in the low beams, and I bought an H7 HID kit. I dont have the money or time for the projector setup so I have this. I was actually pretty surprised, they are bright as hell but not obnoxious to other drivers.. it lights up the whole road down pretty far. They're 12000K in the low beams, and the HID fogs are 10K, but I have a feeling they shipped me 8K, idk!

I'll have some night pics up later I hope, I cant find the damn cable for my reg. camera

Definitely looks like 8k. Hell those dont even really look like 12k either.

I for one, am more of a fan for 5 or 6k

Well just to prevent anyone else from asking in the future, I got them off of ebay for $80 shipped. Type in HID slim and you'll see!

By the way I've bought from two different sellers and they were both the same manufacturer for the HIDs

Yup, the eBay kits look about identical to one I ordered off of here, mine was a lil more pricey though, oh well! Your fogs look like my 8k fogs/lows look, and your lows look like 10k, 12k is alot more purple, looks great tho!

Thanks everyone! Do you guys know how to adjust the headlights?! I know there's 2 torx screws but I loosened them all the way and it still seems like my headlights should face down just a tad bit more

The torx screws are all I used to adjust mine, it made a substantial difference, I don't think they are even out all the way. If you need them lower you could get a longer screw/bolt to replace it (obviously doesn't have to be torx) so you have more room. You may need a longer spring too depending how much you need them to point down to keep them from shaking around.

They're all the same damn thing unless you buy an actual Phillips brand kit. Some people just prefer to make their money thru volume rather than charging $250+ for the same exact kit you would get on Ebay for $80+. Sounds like a pretty good business to me. So long as you read the auction listings for warranty details and choose a good seller, they'll warranty it for you.
