HID's, How To, and Where?
Hey guys, im looking to get a pair of hid's. My car is an octane blue lancer gts, 2009.
Ive been reading a lot and i want like, a 6000k blueish whitish color. People talk about xenondepot.com and like them. I was wondering if u guys prefer any other sites? One of my friends said ddmtuning.com, and My other friend said a good set costs hundreds of dollars but im seeing sets for 50-150 USD.
For the installing part, im willing to try, but its something ive never done before and im scared to do so. I know theres many tutorials online nd whatnot but im still nourvos.
But if anyone is willing to make some extra cash i would be willing to pay them for the installation of the hid's. I live right outside of chicago il. By woodfield mall (northwest suburbs)

Go to www.xenonsupply.com, They have some great products, I bought mine from there back in March and havent had any issues. The also have the anti flicker capacitor that comes with a full kit. Price plus shipping was like $130 I think. Install was easy as well, took about 30 minutes.

As far as your DRL's, the HID's will take the place of the low beams.
So yes, your high beams remain the factory yellowish color as well as your fogs. I didn't bother buying the high beams yet because I live in the city and rarely use them, same with the fogs. And honestly I have noticed that my low beam HID's are just as bright as my high beam stock lights.
Also, I would stick with 6k for lights, anything higher than that gives you blue, purple, or pink looking lights which is great if you want to be a ricer

I didn't have to do that but I was worried about it. I made sure they didn't aim to high or to far to the left. My fiance and I went out to a back road near where I live and did a drive by in ours cars just to check. My HID's actually seems to aim a bit low so there isn't any light dissapation into oncoming traffic.

I live outside of chicago, IL btw.
Also, if i were to get a pair from xenonsupply.com, the premim is costing 180 nd then with the slim ballasts (or w.e its called) thats an extra 20 dollars. And then some extra stuff cossting more. I was looking to spend around 230 dollars before shipping. Is that right?

Would my local dealer do a full retrofit? Or where would i get one done? And im looking online to see how much a retro-fit costs.
