Best headlight upgrade

Real HID light systems are about performance. The ones that come in assorted colour temperatures are cheap crap.

So your telling me the color temp has nothing to do with HID's? Pretty sure you waste your time and get your so called performance HID kit and i will bring mine along and the results will speak for themselves..

I've been considering a set myself. It looks like you can get a 12v 35w set for an F4i for about $60-$90 from a number of sites including ebay. From what I can tell you can get any color temperature bulbs you want and the main difference between them is the size of the ballasts. For about $80 you can get an H.I.D. kit with fairly slim ballasts and a 1-2 year warranty. I checked YouTube and there are a bunch of videos of people installing these kits and using them. They look pretty good to me and are much brighter than OEM bulbs. Not to mention the cool factor of getting to pick a different color(although visibility goes down as the color temp goes up towards the blue and purple range).

I have a 2000 model honda integra type R. I'm from Australia. I ordered my HID lights from Xenon Depot in Canada. They are 4300K which are the brightest in white on the spectrum and give the best visibility. They cost me about AU$450. And are all phillips quality components. You still get a touch of blue/purple tint but not to much. When I get my CBR i'll definitely but upgrading to some HID's.. FTW!!!

I have considered putting in an HID kit but somehow, something didn’t convince me that cross-meddling with technologies is good. Therefore I did a lil bit of research and found this http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...nversions.html . Have a read on why retrofitting HIDs isn’t a very bright (excuse the pun) idea. For those who are ready to dismiss this immediately; the article also explains that HID can give the illusion that they are better performing but actually might perform worse when compared to other lighting.
