If ur a tool you deserve fire!
1. So how do I know which ones to get for the headlights, aside from color?
Are you talking about the bulbs? There's a kit that is just one single beam, and then the hi/lo beams. These bulbs are a H13.
H13-3 / 9008-3 Bi-xenon HID Conversion Kit (Hi & Lo)


2. Also which for the fogs?
The bulb for the fogs are a H10 bulb (6,000k) H10, 9145 Xentec Slim Ballast HID Kit ). For the V6 Pony package it's a H11 (smaller fog lights) (6,000k) H11 Xentec Slim Ballast HID Kit .

3. Read many threads in the early days about HID kits melting shit in the headlight enclosure.
Never heard of anyone having that problem. Not says it hasn't happen, just never heard of it.

You forgot one thing about the hi/low beams there are 4 types of hid lights.

#1 the normal low beam only you dont have a high beam option hitting the high beams will just momentarily turn off the hid's until you deactivate the high beam on most hids
#2 hi/low bulb with xenon/halogen light. Regular HID for low beam and then for high beam a very small halogen light *note the halogen light is significantly dimmer than the hid "low beam"
#3 Dual HID hi/low, This kits typically include 4 ballasts but the main problem is that since they have 2 hid/xenon tubes in the bulb the beam is not 100% centered and they tend to be off sight somewhat (mostly for show in my opinion)
#4 telescoping hi/low This uses a single hid/xenon light strip on the bulb and has a mechanism to move the hid outward (where the high beam filament would be with a regular headlight bulb) to illuminate a broader spectrum and farther away.

same as any other hid system that just replaces the bulb and adds a ballast. Prob chinese made; this kits in bulk go for $32 normal ballast and $39 per kit with slim ballasts.


At those prices they are prob made in china - haven't heard anything good about them yet.

Single beam system - I like the Hi/Lo beam system myself and that's what I have in my car.

#2 hi/low bulb with xenon/halogen light. Regular HID for low beam and then for high beam a very small halogen light *note the halogen light is significantly dimmer than the hid "low beam"

#4
This is the type that we have. It works great and I don't have a problem with this type system or driving at night with them. Also read post #13 what blacknlte posted.

The brand is called Xentec.

Half the kit is started to be put together in Taiwan, they ship the un-finished ballasts and bulbs to the US, where they are then finished, connectors are added and all bulbs and ballasts are tested then deemed for sale. Defective rates on Ballasts and Bulbs is only about .03 percent.

Replacements do not ever need to go through the manufacturer, contact me by e-mail or PM and any bulb or ballasts that becomes defective will be replaced at no charge to our customer.

It's nice to see you selling these kits because I am considering the fog kits now.

I have three of the same kit that Hawg has (I can't remember the manufacturer but I can look at the box tomorrow). They are 6000K temp. I only put one in my car and the other two are for the future spares if needed. Wife didn't want them. They are all the Hi/Lo version with the dual element bulbs and they are rotated or indexed to a mark rather to position the beam correctly. They do spead well and look nice. There's no oncoming blinding glare either as long as they are on low and properly indexed.

The reason I called (haha) I have the Roush package and need TWO DIFFERENT kinds of HID fogs. The factory center grille pair and then the lower much smaller (does have removeable bulbs) Roush version as well. I imagine by now you know the numbers. When you get a chance please PM the prices. ALSO I would like to know if your kits have a DOT number on them? Mine don't but I run them anyway. I just wonder about the chance of getting checked and if you have the DOT assigned versions for sale.

Thanks

made in taiwan?

http://www.alibaba.com/member/us100904348.html

He is announced on alibaba.com the main side for chinese goods... I think they are just renamed hid kits. With most suppliers if you buy 2k or more you can put whatever name you want.

Those are not the slim digital HIDs like the ones I sell. Those have the big ballast and I rather not sale those.

Actually, these kits are half assembled in Taiwan and assembly is completed in the US. All Bulbs and Ballasts are fully tested before they are deemed for sale and are made only with High Quality Electronics. Kits you buy on e-bay are either Chinese or Japanese Made and are useless.

We offer the best kits on the market at the moment, with built-in Digital Relays so they work on basically any car, truck, van or motorcycle on the market; even off-road vehicles.

Saleen HID's are not as bright, waaay more expensive, and require you to buy a new housing, and when they go out is Saleen going to replace your parts free of charge ? ...... I doubt it.

If our kits were $39 cost, we would be selling them a lot cheaper.

Any questions may also be directed to me through this thread or PM's.

I just received my kits today, fog lights and hi/lo headlights. I may have a question on the hi/low kit, but my car is getting a new clutch etc. this week so I can't install this stuff until next week. From looking at it I think I have it figured out, except on the control box for the hi/lo. Once I get my car back, if I have questions I'll PM you.

Thanks!
