Most recent pic from customer:
He actually picked up the kit from me locally, and just put the lights in.
It's a 6500K colour using his stock (16 year old projectors).

a couple questions:
do these come with a main power supply harness and relays? (basically a constant 12v line right from the battery to use to power the HID kit )
if not, do these require more than the factory 10amp (for non-HID evo models) of power for the charge-up/on of the ignitors. (i understand that after charge-up/on, the bulb only consumes 35 watts there-after)?
thanks

Hi,
These are plug and play.
Older Chinese generation ones had the power connected directly from the battery. But this application isn't recommended due to so many problems it causes.
With ours, you would connect the power harness into your stock harness (which you used to power your regular halogen bulbs.

hooking up power directly from the battery caused a lot of problems? can you please explain how?
other than that, does this HID kit require a bigger fuse (15-20amp) to ignite the ignitors?

power delivery from the battery (if not properly and securely installed) tneds to have variable output and it caused many burn outs in the wires or ballasts - from our experience.
And yes, you should use 20amp fuses (it comes in the kit).

I just bought a 6000k kit from auto and they are amazing:
Very nice color. BRIGHT white color w/ nice tint of blue. It looks really blue in this picture because of the projectors.
A little better representation of color but still a little distortion from projectors (its not so purple-red like the picture shows).
You can see the bright reflection of the "Keep Right" sign on the light post on the left. Notice all the other street signs that just seem to light up and the sweet projector effect on the last sign on the right.

It realy depends on the car and the person doing the install, but I've seen some guys do it in less than 20 minutes. While some guys takes 2 hours to do (just to play around with things and see where to put the ballast securely ... etc.
you dont cut anything.. splice anything.. wire anything.. nothing.
Just take out your halogen bulbs, put in the HID ones, plug in all the wires from the bulbs to the ballasts - secure you ballast somewhere in the car, and plug in the connectors where you used to connect your halogen bulbs (to draw the power).
Thats it.

How do I purchase then?
I heard that you have to adjust your light so that you won't kill others' eyes? do i have to do that?
