Has anyone tried these type of HID kits? http://cgi.ebay.com/Xenon-HID-Conver...item2a06509b23

I seen these on eBay while surfing and was not sure exactly what they are. From what I can tell, it seems like you purchase this kit and use it to modify your stock/oem lighting to convert it to HID. Am I correct? Has anyone done this? Is the 10000 k light to bright to be legal? What's the deal???

 

Seem legit, like every other kit. I like VVME kits personally. 10000K is not legal. the most legal is Phillips Uniton's which shine at 6000K

 

The degrees Kelvin does not directly correlate to the brightness of the bulb but rather to the color. The higher the number, the LESS visibility after ~6000-6500 which is basically white. I stunbled across one of these conversions at work. We do a certain amount of work for car lots and a truck wouldn't pass inspection as it had no high beams. Dealer said fix it. So, we removed the HID kit and put in standard bulbs. Keep in mind, the majority of these kits have no high beam. But...they are child's play to install and great if you get the correct degree bulb.
To say a 10000K bulb is illegal is a stretch as that varies greatly from state to state. Try running 20% tint in North Carolina and you'll soon see what I mean. In the following picture of my 144, the driving lights are 10000k and the headlights are 8300k. They look pretty but actually provide little light at night.

Much more light is produced by the 6000k-6500k range bulbs. They are much less blue, white actually and are super when combined with e-codes. Shown on my 84 760T...
