Re: HID kits on the cheap.
No problem. It's easy to forget that most (sane) people don't spend 1/3 of their time at work staring directly at real bright lights

Re: HID kits on the cheap.
Do any of you that have bought these kits have a variation in light color towards the top of the beam pattern? The HID's I have now have a small yellowish tint at the very top of the pattern where it peaks.You can kind of see it in the pic.

Re: HID kits on the cheap.
A side effect of the projectors is that at the edges of the beam you can get some "rainbowing" or colors appearing much like a prism. That's probably all it is.
It is much more common on older projectors and ones that were not designed for HID's.

Re: HID kits on the cheap.
I got mine today. They shipped me 9006's instead of 9005's.
Terrific.

On the $80 Ebay kit, the bulbs are fitted to a drilled out 9006 base, and off center...Are these $50 kits dedicated 9006 bases made for the bulb they are using, or drilled out "retrofits"?

Re: HID kits on the cheap.
I did want 9005's. I already have HID low beams from OT. I'll try calling. I had 2 confirmation emails that had 9005's spec'd. When they sent the actual invoice it had 9006's on it and I emailed then but didn't get an answer.

Re: HID kits on the cheap.
Got mine today. I'm very pleased with the quality and price for these kits. They are awsome!!!! They also sent me the DDM ballasts (very tiny) instead of the slightly bigger apexcone ballasts by accident but im not complaining
