Default 10000K HID Kit and LED Map Lights installed.









The lights are bright as hell, blue, but still bright. Just the way I wanted it. The LED's I got from a sponser. The rear dome light that was sent didnt work. It uses a diffrent kind of light I guess :-(.

The pictures dont do the lights justice. Yes I know the glare..the glare..blahh blahh blahh. Ill fix that in a few days. Next up is the 885 50W Xenon Foglights HID look.

I think red LEDs would compliment your car more, with the red exterior.

I got the lights from LS1_SS www.ledgauges.com

I got the HID Kit from a non sponser so PM if you want that info.

Install was really easy. Took me all of 15 minutes to install. It comes with a wiring harness that plugs into the ballast's and the ballasts plug into the back of the lamphousing then you plug you factory plug into the harness. It comes with a relay and inline fuses. Really quality kit! 270$.

I plan on using some high temp paint to make a cutoff line so that it doesnt affect people that look directly into the lights.

Anything over 6000K is a waste of money, IMO.

According to the website of the seller, from 4300k to 10000k it is the same price for the HID kit which is 230 bux.

HID retrofit kit which includes:
2 HID bulbs (xenon)
2 Balasts (water proof)
All neccessary wiring and hardware
Detailed instalation instructions

You pick the HID bulb temperature color. Please specify when ordering.
4300K
5000K
6000K
8000k
10000k

*Please note: The brightest temperature is 4300k, higher temperature means bluer color of the light.*
