okay well i hate the look of yellow lights, so id like something thats WHITE. now i know that it stucks to replace LT1 bulbs but there is away so i dont need to worry about that. but ive got a question, do those HID lights on ebay actually work? or are they just painted over to look blue? cause i dont really want blue... those look really dumb

so um yeah...

?

 

Some on ebay are just bulbs, but say they are HID. A true HID kit, will come with ballasts, and xenon bulbs. The ones that claim to be HID are just halogen that are painted like you said. HID doesn't have a filament, it just has a tube full of an inert gas, namely xenon. All the kits I've ever bought, have been from eBay. 9006 for lows, 9005 for highs. I haven't installed the highs yet, and if you've had HID before you'll know what I'm talking about. It takes about 10-20 seconds to get to full brightness, which may not be bad on rarely travelled back roads. But on roads, where you may encounter oncoming traffic quite frequently, it makes it a pain. The lows are plenty bright as it is. If you'd like, run a kit by us, and we'll let you know if it's a real HID.

 

what kind did you get? and do you think id just be better off getting silverstar lights?

That's the exact kit, from the exact same people. 4300K is the color I got. Silverstars are ok, but when I had them, one burned out after 3-4 months. This is when I optedfor the HID, and I couldn't be happier with them. I've had them on most of my vehicles, and they're awesome. Quite a bit brighter than everything else, and they last a long time.
