Kit will be $249. Trying to get custom boxing made so I can ship nicely as a kit.

Here's a link to the ebay listing and a picture of them installed in my firebird. The quality seems pretty good to me and the price is right. As for the relay kit just wire up a relay to feed the lights. This is how I wired mine.

HID kit
 
Try Nathan Shue @ www.HID-source.com he has retro kits for most everything, and has been on LSITECH.com for quite some time. I've installed 3 of his kits (my 06 Solstice, 93 4 runner and my 68 Firebird).

M.R., could you detail the differences between these kits and yours? For a fair comparison.

Musclerodz 10-25-2007 01:37 PM
The HID kits listed there are true HID on LOW beam only, and halogen on high beam. The HIGH and LOW beam HID kits are illegal for street use on older vehicles because of the motorized bulbs. Only legal on new vehicles that I am aware of. You also have to use a non-DOT lense because it will hit the reflector in DOT lenses.

Our H4 kit is a DOT halogen kit with relays to give nearly as good of light as the HID. Our kit comes with everything you need to install. The HID kit above you still to buy lenses.

We are working on a true HID kit, but it will be awhile still. I won;t sell them unless we can get them to work in our DOT lenses.

Actually, the E-bay kit does come with glass lenses, you just have to read down a bit further.

All the initial description says is the sealed housings are DOT approved.


I have an e-mail in to the seller asking of the lenses are DOT approved. I'll try to get to the bottom of this!

QSPres 10-25-2007 01:53 PM
Well, HID-source is out for me. $375 for the low beams, $375 for the highs....


Must be gold in there...

I was not speaking of the ebay kit, I was commenting on the HID website. The ones on ebay are similar to what we have. I can't even buy the lights at that price and they are scewing you on shipping at $26.

Agreed on the shipping... But it's still a rediculous deal if everything checks out.

Thats where I got mine. Everything was good.
