Been looking at them for my 4 wheeler and the '96.

A couple guys I know are running them and they do look sweet!

$66 {that includes shipping} for the 10,000k kit for the Polaris ;Sweet

And the same price for the 9007's for the FORK :D

does that mean you have hids in both high and low beam?

does 140 bucks buy everything you need? Direct plug and play? Work with the factory switch still?

Any problems? Are they quality? Pictures?

big difference in night time driving?

I just bought a set of 6000K Hids for my 1993 F250. I didnt get the high/low ones so i wont have high beams.

I also ordered a heavy duty headlight harness that pulls power directly from the battery. Is that needed with HIDs?

hmm alright then. So i shouldnt install the harness with my HIDs? that sucks i bought it because i thought i would need it with the HIDs haha.

What do people use the upgraded headlight harnesses for then?

The us the upgraded harnesses for REGUALR bulbs, HID's don't pull as much and isn't needed, BUT, you can use it if you want. ;Sweet

My HID HI/LOW kit pulls power straight from the battery ;Sweet

so your ballasts connect to the battery on your kit?

My kit just plugs into the stock headlight plug on one side then thats it. I think im going to use the headlight harness anyway and pull power direct from the battery.

How do you like the HIDs? i had a hard time deciding between the 6000k and 8000k. I wanted a white light with a little bit of blue...and i didnt want to go ricer with way too much blue so i decided on the 6000k. Do you get alot of people flashing their lights at you or complaining your lights are too bright?

That is a problem.... Depending on your kit, you should be able to hang them off of one of the supports for the header panel....That is where I put mine ;Sweet
