Hid Kit

Which one of these kits would you guys go with (stock headlight assembly)? I know nothing about these kits and am very skeptical becuase I hear most of them burn out fairly quick. Would like some other opinions. I have searched other forums but have not seen these two.

Do not buy any kit, as you will just blind everyone driving towards you on the road...

Buy the ones that NoLongerJeepin posted, I ran them in my truck with no problems. Jwool15 is actually running my set. When I bought them they were like $120 shipped, looks like they've came down in price.

That's funny because with the right headlights and aimed properly, you won't blind anyone even in the rain.

I think im leaning towards the plug and play Bi-xenon headlights from Euroeffects. Lifetime warranty on bulbs and ballast plus the seller has been around for a while. Anyone have these?

I bought a bi-xenon kit from flashplus on ebay and I love em. I got flashed a lot initially because my headlights were aimed way up in the air. Now that they're aimed properly, no one has had any complaints. Friends even note that "they're not that bright" although in the truck its like daylight.

Go for it.

This is the kit you want. You will still have high and low beam, just pick the color and you're set. I am running this set in my headlights and a 9145 kit in my fogs. My color is 6000k, look at my gallery for pictures.

2k miles on the interstate with them at night, still haven't been flashed once to this day.

So because SOME people complain doesn't mean that everyone on the road will get blinded by them. I have never once been flashed. if you aim them properly like Thump said then you won't have a problem. Some people go outrageous with the types of bulbs and other things to get the extremely bright output. Those will blind people, but just because a forum with people complaining doesn't mean all HID kits blind EVERYONE on the road.

Are you serious? That's not going to be biased. All of the members over there are SERIOUS about their lighting and won't settle for anything less than a full retrofit kit. So what do you expect?

The funny thing is, even vehicles with a full retrofit and a proper projector blind others too. I drive mostly interstate, and cars with projector HIDs are always hitting bumps and dips, creating a blinding flashing ever dip they hit.

Then trucks with HID kits go by and are often less blinding than those vehicles with the projectors. The glare really isnt bad at all.
