Today I went and bought 12k HIDs For the Crossfire and..... They dont fit?
The dealer and I looked up the type of light needed and it said H7.
But for some reason they dont want to fit into the light socket.
Anyone else have this problem?

 

If the bulb base on the HID looks like the one you took out , it should fit.

 

They fit. Its a tough squeeze cause of the wires coming off the back of the bulb. Just got to find a way to get around the wires an get the clip down over everything

 

12K?

Please stay away from me.

 

I think he might be lucky to go a block before being pulled over at night.
Yikes. They've landed. Cue Sci-Fi music.

 

If you want to see at night you should exchange them for 4 or 5K.

 

I thought that 12ks are the best?


I got them fixed up. It was just a tight squeeze like you guys said.!

 

12K will be very blue. Not much light.New cars that come wilh HD lights are about 4300K

 

I didn't intend to sound like...well, me.

Yeah, 12K doesn't put out much visible light and is illegal in many jurisdictions. 4K-6K looks great and lights up the night.

 

I think u just want a blue effect. If ur looking for that effect but also wanna see lol ahahha try 8k

 

No try 6k, thats the absolute highest you should go. Hell, even 5k is still blue. 4300k is the best

 

I have 6k in my S40, and they are in my biased opinion, excellent. 12k is gonna turn your world to Smurf.

 

We had a pretty good storm blow through last night and I had to drive to my lab to check equipment in the middle of it. On the way here, I passed someone with >8K HID headlights. He was driving, literally, while blind. If it weren't for the streetlights, he would have had to park it and wait.
They aren't illegal here in Alabama, but they should be. They are just not safe for on-road use.
