H.I.D. Conversion Options

[macavely]

Has anyone put an H.I.D. conversion kit on their ride, and if so was it hard to do?

[Tenchi]

Some kits out there like the CATZ HID kit are all plug and play. It shouldn't be hard to install at all.

charlie doesn't come here i don't think, but he's on celica.net, you should go over there and send him a PM, or just start a topic about it there. i'm sure it wouldn't be hard. and i dunno if me and you are thinkin about the same things Tenchi, but catz makes an HID kit, and i believe they also make some other weird kit that is just plug in, but it's not an actual "HID" kit, it just intensifies the light a couple X. i forget the name of that kit though...oh well...g/l macavely.

i admit that HID looks really well on all cars, but you also have to remember the price. the normal cost for an HID conversion is around $700. i say go to your local auto store and get Nokya white headlights. these are the nicest lights that acutally work and they are only $30 for both lights.

700 is really high... I would say more in the ballpark of 4 - 500, and installing them is nothing, definatly easy to install, just find a place for the ballast and wire it up, then it's just like changing a bulb.

Hey mynzeyes,

Yea they also make the CATZ Zeta. Which is a poor man's HID. I have this on my Civic and they look great! The light output is soooo much better than stock or any PIAA bulbs. They also have a 9006 kit for our Celicas.

As for the price of an HID, there was a group buy that had the CATZ 5000k HID for I think around $499. Also if someone bought them, they would receive free foglights also. You just have to search for the best prices.
