hid look headlights

**TRD tC** · 02-03-2009, 09:45 PM

i didnt know where to post, so i did it here

i tried couple of hid look lights (couldnt afford real hid conversion. lol) in my past few cars, and never got the look i wanted. i was hoping for that ridiculous blue look. lol. my current headlights cannot take hid lighting due to its housing? at least thats what i was told. so im in the market again for hid look lights. i see ppl at night that have hid look lights (i can tell its not hid) that looks super blue. lol. its not that blue-ish white look. its just straight blue. anyone have these lights and can point me in the right direction for my 09 tC?

any help is greatly appreciated.

just get them, they should be 9006 bulbs, i just installed some in a buddy's TC, no problem whatsoever

**DeeAOne** · 02-03-2009, 09:50 PM

if i can put HIDs in a 1988 integra, then im sure you can put them in your 09 TC.

**TRD tC** · 02-03-2009, 09:50 PM

i got different headlights than 05-07 tc's.. 08-09 tc's got projectors so they'll melt with hid. i dunno much but thats what i was told.

**slostang** · 02-03-2009, 11:00 PM

projectors were designed for hid's. technically hid's are illeagal when installed in a non projector housing!

Any HID setup not installed by the vehicles manufacturer is illegal. ALL aftermarket HID kits are illegal.

^^^ YOUR sig is HOTT!!!

**G.C** · 02-04-2009, 08:21 AM

What? How will hid melt the projector or the housing?? HIDS are meant for the projectors.

If you want quality hid kit, contact Nitro.He's a member on this forum and his stuff is the bomb.

**TRD tC** · 02-04-2009, 10:46 AM

^ thx for replies guys. but i think im just gonna stick with some hid look head lights. lol. and all this illegal stuff ppl are talking about. jeez. i already have too many tickets! lol.

**RBS** · 02-04-2009, 10:52 PM

silly you, HID kits cant melt your housing.. if that were true then regular halogen bulbs will set your headlights on fire

**Atlblkz06** · 02-04-2009, 11:03 PM

^^ I agree. HIDs use LESS energy than halogen. There is no way they can do any damage to you housing.

Go HID

**DC2NR** · 02-04-2009, 11:17 PM

I thought halogen lighting gets hotter than HID lighting.

**ksniperfox** · 02-05-2009, 02:24 PM

already PM nitro?

PS-buy a different car. problem solved.

ouch.. less than a month of ownership

lol.. i love toyota's tho. thats why i bought it. didnt buy it thinkin i'll be going fast or anything. also didnt have money to buy an is-f

(what i really wanted.. lol).

anyways, back on topic. i dont know anything about electronics, especially car electronics. so thanx for info on how hid's are cooler, temperature wise! always learn sumthin new from you guys. better driving performance is my priority on modifications. so maybe later down the road, i'll grab a set of hid's after my performance modifications. i only wanted some hid look lights to quickly improve my tc's looks for 20 bucks. lol.

thx again for replies!

**white_rice** · 02-05-2009, 02:26 PM

pm nitro!

**Black4DrEK** · 02-05-2009, 03:21 PM

www.ddmtuning.com ... HID's for the low...

every kind

**oneSLOWex** · 02-05-2009, 03:31 PM

i wouldnt worry so much about getting pulled over with HIDs as I would buying "blue" bulbs. Plus you are not gonna be able to see a damn thing with blue bulbs...

**TRD tC** · 02-05-2009, 06:19 PM

^ lol. thx man. its my first car that i financed.. so it was a new experience. hectic too. but it was all worth it!

**JITB** · 02-05-2009, 06:22 PM

buy the dam hids nothing will break you will be fine..the chances of you getting pulled over is amazingly slim..

**ksniperfox** · 02-05-2009, 06:39 PM

20 bux on fake ones...and taking chances with ebay product...or i think nitro does them for like 100. and hell even put them in for you? dont quote me on that price..

**TRD tC** · 02-05-2009, 07:19 PM

^ pretty cheap.. we'll see..

**steedracer** · 02-06-2009, 01:59 AM

talk to nitro he can help you out with real or fake ones i think. he is the one to talk to when it comes to lighting on cars.

**Blitanicle99** · 02-06-2009, 09:31 AM

To all the haters, I have been rocking HID look alike bulbs for like 2 1/2 years now on the same set, I passed them through my vehicles. They still look like HIDs, and still give out great light.

These are the ones I order every time.

HID retrofit. The right way. Not cheap, but there's a reason.
