what ever happened to HID's ????

[nikon]

I cant find them anywhere anymore....have they banned them or something???...I can find bulbs every so often online, but not the full kit anymore...what happened...cause now I need to get something for my foglights....anyone??

[camarov62003]

goto ebay they have a bunch of kits there

HID kits for our stock foglights are only found at tbyrne.com. Other HID kits can be had for the stock headlights for cheaper on ebay.

Umm I looked all over tbyrne.com and didnt find any lights!

Can't you just change the bulb to a Xenon h3 bulb for the fogs?

I baught a couple of xenon lights a while ago from a couple of different ebay sellers, and I think it looks cheaper/faker than the bulbs I got from a local store here... that was before I removed the sealed beam xenon kit though.

We are talking real HIDs.

tbryne has said that he has had trouble with the supplier they had for the hid's.

I have never seen any real hids for a 880 series lamp.

894's in the maro....I was just thinking though...the 894's and 9006's arent that different...can the fog housing be modified while sealing out water??...or should this not be attempted with a metal housing????

and teh xenon sh*t doesnt match the ture hid's at all....look in my sig, earlier pics have xenon, the later one's are with HID's BIG difference

880-899 are the same series, and should share the same mounting hole, just differences in wattage, and orientation (straight, 90 degree, ect)

I guess you could modify your fogs, not sure if i would risk it, with a set of $400 lamps inside, if not perfect, and water got in, crack :( The birds use plastic, so i don't know how the camaros work, so i cant comment any more on that.

I do agree though, nothing compares to real HID's... that is next on my mod list, after i get the blower parts, and find a europe sealed beam housing adapter, as they are better cutoff than the normal ones.

thing is I only paid 280$ for my HID's .... anywhere I look now they're upwards of 500$....which im not paying...id rather replace my fogs with yellow to get the euro look dunno how it would look though..or what would fit in there?

Last I checked, I read either on this or Cz28.com, that HIDs are illegal ever since August or something. And yes, what about BMWs, Benzs, etc, right? Well, it's from factory and they have specs to the aiming while aftermarket is just too bright and aims wrong is what they said in the thread....so don't quote me...

awesome price.

i dont know what is going on with hids, the old ones (oem) were nice, all autoleveling, ect.

the new 04 maxima we got, thelights are nice, but not autoleving, and nowhere near the sharpness cutoff points of the M3 im comparing it to.
