I ordered a kit from SI Motorsports (local import shop ) They have a lifetime warranty guaranteed for 5000 hours minimum. They were $350. I dont trust chinese made kits, friend had the DDM kit and it caught his engine bay on fire from the ballast busting and melting wires.


ANd out of curiosity why does it matter what i installed them on...


Because if he's buying them for a 6gc and the place you bought them from doesn't carry Celica merchandise it does no good for him to know where you got them. Or if the price between the 240sx and 6gc HID kit is different he may be expecting X price and get quoted Y price.

I know why you asked...because Supra almost always comes off kinda dickish in regards to questions but I think he had good intentions this time. I hope.

...installed a new WRC Hood finally making my car all black!

Tommorrow I will install relays on my HIDs so, hopefully, they will stop blowing their ballasts, install my iPhone4 connection to my Kenwood DD Screen and clean up the wiring of my MSD Blaster2 and perhaps add a MSD Multiple Spark Ignition - should be fun biggrin.gif

It takes 30 minutes MAX to install llow beam HIDs on a celica, and it wouldnt be good if someone reads that and thinks " i dont wanna cut into my housings so im not gonna do HIDs"

It takes 20 minutes to install HIDs on a celica..


A few tips from someone who has burned through more HID ballasts than I care to admit:
-Don't forget to install a relay [not included in the kit but highly recommended by the reputable brands]
-Do not install HIDs on lights that flash with the alarm [ie. fog lights]
Failing to follow either of these instructions will make your HIDs erratic over time and lead to eventual failure

Dude...we all know you come off snide and dickish a lot so my point wasn't that the statement you just made was dickish but that despite your attitude you do have good intentions. I'm not arguing with you or trying to call you out...just making an observati/on.
