So Yeah as the topic suggests, I am thinking of getting a HID kit for my projectors...
I was thinking of getting this off ebay: eBay HIDs Anybody used this kit before? I am thinking of getting the 6k version, so that the light is white, but not so blue as to draw attention to it. I have done research on both here and on other websites, and so much information is just conflicting  So, my questions are: 1) Will this kit fit? I am pretty sure it will since the Kit is H1 and so too is the Projectors... 2) How do these kits get installed? I am pretty sure it's straight forward, but I would rather be 100% than screwing it all up... 3) Where is the best place to mount the ballast (I want it pretty much hidden when the hood is open) I'll add more as I think of them lol... I do a lot of night time driving, so these should be beneficial and help me a bit... Any help is appreciated thanks  I am new to this HID thing, and still learning lol  Gotta start somewhere

Both the metal rail things on the HID bulbs were broken when I opened them but the bulbs still work and I still cannot seem to figure out how to adjust the beams... I have twisted the metal adjustments on the back of the light housing and it does nothing haha >.< They definitely do put more light out and are a lot whiter than incandescent bulbs though. -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
