HIDs for my Low beam Depo Projectors/Fog Lights

bahasad · 05-04-2014, 04:00 PM

I bought a set of Depo headlights from fishcake321 to replace my halogen non-projectors recently. Overall I'm satisfied with the angel eyes, light output, and how it looks, but the halogen bulbs don't fit in well with the overall look. Since the lenses are projectors, I have no problem upgrading to HIDs therefore:
Can anybody recommend what kind of HID setup I should buy and where?

They offer a good product and good customer service so that's my vote.

But the depos look good

How about ddmtuning.com - their prices seem about $50 cheaper.

Ive bought a bunch of HID kits from DDM tuning. Ive have nothing but good things to say about them. I would definetly recommend them. Shipping is a little slow. Takes about 1.5 weeks to get to me (NY).

I recommend not getting the slim ballasts. I have had both kits and never had a problem, but ive heard that the slim ballasts aren't as robust. And then regular size ballast really aren't that big and can be easily hidden in our engine bays.

Also i would reccomend 55w kits for the headlights and 35w for the fogs.

For the headlights if you want an oem look go for 5000k color if going with 55w. Or 4300k if you decide to go 35w.

That being said....
I just ordered a set of LED conversion bulbs from HPB. Great price. Great quality. Super fast shipping. And the customer service was incredible. So really its your call.

I have fishcake depo headlights. Mine are paired with Morimoto Elite HID system (3Five ballasts, bulbs, and canbus adapter). I am very pleased with the light output.

With the depo headlights, did any of you guys have a problem with the high beams? As in, when you guys push the stalk forward does the high beams stay on?

Xenon drop in kits in halogen projectors will still glare.

Do it right and put in some real xenon projectors.
