I am adding the link to pics of my car that show the HID lights I bought a while back. My best friend got them for his Audi A4 as well. I think that other than the wheels, this is my favorite upgrade. The difference from stock is amazing. These things were $350 shipped and the bulbs last 2000 hrs. I got the 6000k which are whiter than factory HID's ( Stock HID's are 4500k) Never get the 8000k's b/c they use colored bulbs too appear purplish and actually reduce the lumens produced. There is a cool site called the do's and don'ts of HID. When I pull up next to an Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc. My lights wash theres off the road. They are made by interpower and I got them from advantagewholesaler.com

Awesome they look very bright!!!

I wish I could afford a set for my STANG they would be KICK A**!!!

 

Yeah, especially if you got the led tire air nozzles, wiper sprayers and exhaust tip. Wait do you not own a volvo Tech?!

 

No I don't!!!!!
I wish I did though im trying to get one but it is taking a long time.
No job + 4 kids = no money!!!!
Wife on maternity leave= really no money!!!!

 

Tech, your a soldier!!! I'm sure you'll have one soon enough.

 

THANKS!!!!

 

KR.....can you post a pic of your HID? Is the kit plug and play?

I'm very interest to install one on my 850 wagon.



thanks

 

Yes, the kit is plug n play
I can e-mail you pics if you'd like. The link isn't working

 

Dude that looks awesome.

 

Link doesn't work and $350 is outragrous to pay for HID's...

SharpHID.com and a few other places sell complete kits for under $150. Some under $100.

The kits are quality and the customer service was amazing!

Also 4500k-5000k are the brightest HID's you can purchase. Anything above 5000k is just a color change and you loose lumens.

 

Anyone try these yet?

I've got HID's in my S70 and love them!! Go to sharphid.com and get them there. Good prices, free shipping and great customer service!

 

I've ordered from those guys before. horrible company to deal with. I gotta broken item and they were refusing to give my money back. Stay away

 

Yeah that's where I got mine from and still working great

 

hi iv used all bulbs 4300k yelow- 5000k sort of light green - 6000k white - 8000k 10000k 12000k light blue - blue - dark blue. the white is the best to see with but the blues are all useless. all hid bulbs use a frequency IE a wavelenth to make the color and all bulbs are clear glass- no color is used to color the light produced from the bulb at all. unlike some normal bulbs.
