Has any one converted the lights to HID on the Crossfire and can you please tell wich ones you got.

 

i purchased my "plug & play" hid kit on ebay. the cost was $300. you will need a H7 kit.

 

do you remember what brand, model

 

this is the exact set i have...very very satisfied!

you'll need "H7" kit. i am using an 8000k bulb. bmw & audi factory hid's are about 4700k. (this determines the blueness of the lighting....higher the # bluer the color). a McCulloch kit (made in germany) is what i recommend.

here is the exact link and seller i went with...

thank you Andrew, i am going to get myself a kit.

 

Thanks Andrew I ordered my kit yesterday.

 

money well spent!

 

Yes, I do thank you of r the Help, my HID kit is already on the way

 

you'll love them!

let me know if you have any install questions...just don't touch the bulb with your fingers.

 

I would just make one comment.. that 8000k, although it looks cooler because it has a more intense blue, actually puts out less light than most stock HID's. Most stock HID's come in a range of 4300k-6000k. 4300k is the most light and least color (very bright but it's also pure white), as you go up in the kelvin scale, you get more intense color, but less light on the ground. This is a common misconception and in different forums I've read about many people who went as high as 12k or 14k and were dissapointed that all they got was an HID black light. Seriously. I went with 6000k (its a very bright, light cool blue) which is a good balance, and the cutoff for most every OEM HID. Anyway, everyone here can make their own choice, based on what you want, cool color or light. I just want to make people aware. Install of any plug n play kit is very basic.

 

what happens if you touch them?

 

Andrew I got my kit today, but I want to get a little more info before I install them.
How did you put them on, I am looking at my srt6 and can barely get my hand on the driver side.

Please let me know.

Thanks

 

the bulb will burn out prematurely.

 

it will take a bit of finesse...but you can slide your hand into the tight area for install. you just have to find the most comfortable approach. i have completed two so far.

 

Wear latex gloves too, that helps a lot because you can touch the bulb all you want. Thats what I did anyway. I also wiped my bulbs down with alcohol before putting them in.. I felt they looked a little dirty and looked much better after cleaning with alcohol. That should extend the bulbs life.. Plus you don't know who might have touched them before you got them. Just be careful putting the gloves on, that you don't get your finger oils onto the glove itself.

 

I got my HID's installed yesterday and I am very please with the way they look when the are on.
Did you guys replaced any other light bulbs on your car. (Hi-Beams, turn signals, ect, ect)

 

I got my kit yesterday and will install on Sat.
Andrew where and how did you mount the igniter and HV boxes.
Pictures would help.

 

i will take some pictures today or tomorrow for you....this will help for placement.

 

yes...i did replace my fog lamp bulb & high beam bulb for a closer match.

 

Thanks Andrew I will wait till I see the pictures.
