Headlight ?

[blueGT00]

hmmm i just put new bulbs in the foglights cuz one was burnt out for like a year ...i want the best color and the best light for the money...i like the 5k but i like blue too

 

[Poil336]

8k is sure bright enough for me. and for the look, i definitely wouldn't trade it. i get high beam flashes enough as it is. doesn't make sense to me, mine are wayyy brighter, they can't win at my game if they're not on my level... oh well

 

[blueGT00]

haha...high beam/low will both be HID then?

 

[Poil336]

depends on the kit. mine isn't. most other people's are, and they paid a third what i did lol. shoulda shopped around. but if your lows are still halogen, there's a really simple way to wire your lights so you can have brights and foglights on at the same time. you wanna talk about light output, i probably looked like the sun coming down the street

 

[blueGT00]

how do i do that?...is DMM both low and bright?

 

[Poil336]

i'll see if i can dig up the write up for you. it's just a simple jumper wire in the glove box. ddm, i think it is. i have a different kit, but i asked if people turn their hid's off when they pass people and got some weird responses lol.

If you are going to go HIDs then I would recommend 5000K. I have had 4300K, 5000K and 6000K. 5000K was the best of both worlds. If you really want better light output then the projectors are the best way to get it. DDm should have the hi/low kit. If you get the low on;y, then the high beam indicator will be dimly lit. Also be cautious when using HIDs in the factory fogs. Some have experienced melted lenses.

 

[Poil336]

do you know of any good aftermarket foglight housings?

 

[blueGT00]

ill prolly get 5000k...gonna get a nice tax return this year so maybe more mods who knows

 

[blueGT00]

got some better headlights...my other ones were TERRIBLE...got these for 50 bucks ...didnt want to get to fancy(kid on the way)...but ill prolly order the DDM kit to get alittle better light output!

 

[blueGT00]

ill get 6k from DMM...but im not sure at all what kit to get...ive got a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 4-door

 

[dpzelenak]

im right there with yal im looking to get hids
the ddm kit i was looking at was the raptor kit 9007, 35w, 10k
but now i found this one on ebay and im looking into this one
hid kit xenon VVME H1 H3 H4 H7 H11 9006 9005 9007 - eBay (item 250693701861 end time Apr-05-11 10:33:58 PDT)

 

[blueGT00]

i want to use low and high beam also

 

[dpzelenak]

can gps do that with only having one buld?

 

[blueGT00]

i believe so...gotta get the right kit tho

 

[dpzelenak]

oh ok, i dont realy care about my highs, but im hoping that the hids are bright enough so i dont have to worry about needing them

 

[blueGT00]

so u just want to use low then right?....i really wouldnt matter to me but i just like using every function i can....so anybody got the part number for ddm?

 

[dpzelenak]

yea i just want to run lows
i think im gonna order a kit from vvme instead of ddm

 

[blueGT00]

ys that cheaper?

 

[rbtucker09]

Because they are crappy halogen bulbs.

Go here for hids: HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning

I'm wanting to install HIDs from the link you posted in my 2000 Grand Prix GT and I came across this thread. My question is, what is the difference between the 9007/H5 and the 9007/H5 Hi/Lo bulb options?
