saw this hid kit and it seems to be a real good price considering it includes the conversion housing and the hids..

Price isn't bad but you get what you pay for. Looks like older style magnetic ballasts and the housings are older style as well. It will have a nice color but output will be pretty bad.

That ebay kit is $90.
Or for $10 more, you could get high quality pieces from a site sponsor and aftermarket housings that will actually redirect the light correctly.

These high quality LEDs are from a site sponsor for $40:

And since no sponsor offers replacement housings, I figure I am safe showing you these. They will dissipate the light much better than the drilled out factory housings the ebay kit uses - look at the reflectors in the housings, they are very different than the ebay version that you could drill from your own housings - $30 each side:

$100 total and 100% better

^ do you have these? they seem much much better

I personally do not, but I've seen people on here who do. They are on their way for me! You can put the DDMs in the fogs too (check out Ebay for fog replacement housings with glass lenses, reflectors and the metal housings. They come with halos too if you'd like at no additional charge). Amazing stuff.

9006 are the low beams. It's what I have with 6000K HID's and I love them.

Just installed the LMC housings in my TA and they are awesome!! VERY good quality and very clear lenses. I haven't put the HIDs in yet, but here's a couple pics with just the halogens.

how much did all 4 run you for with shipping? they include the bulbs an wiring right?

APG12

iTrader: (25)

I just bought the lows not the highs. They are $35 each and include the bulbs and wiring harness which is plug-n-play. Shipping was a little pricey but it came to $83.xx for the two. Well worth it for the quality IMO.

that's not that bad considering it comes with the bulb and wiring... but i really don't care for the bulb they come with since i am going to be putting hids anyway.. so it kinda seems like a waste to get them and just toss the bulbs it comes with.... i was thinking of making the hids fit into my sealed beams but dont know how to fab them up.. any ideas?

APG12

iTrader: (25)

Well that's my plan as well, just haven't gotten to it yet. As for the sealed beams, it's been done before and from what I've heard, hasn't worked out too well. The LMCs have a good cut off and take the HIDs pretty well.

You already have the idea. Just cut, then make sure to use a sealant to keep the water out. The problem you will run into is not having anything to direct the light correctly like the LMC housings. I have "cut and pasted" sealed beams right now with xenon bulbs and they work well, but for HIDs, these housings are a much better choice.
