8000k HID's Scion tC

[95eclipseimport]

I want white ones for my car where do you suggest I get them

[pawnstar365]

Anyone looking to get xenon hid lights go with 8000k you will thank me. My car has 8000ks and when a new 2011 bmw or mercedes pulls up it makes their lights look cheap

[ProTuner06]

Yeah, I love my Meng HIDs :) Now I just need some Projectors. You have any recomendations? All the projectors I see online are way to flashy and crazy expensive.

[NeXuS858]

@ProTuner06 Dont get aftermarket projectors, get OEM 08+ projector headlights the OEM projectors are great with HID's. Aftermarket will have poor cutoff and a weaker beam pattern.

[ProTuner06]

@NeXuS858 That's what I was planning on. There $440 for a pair but I'll have the piece of mind that they wont be poor quality.

[NeXuS858]

@ProTuner06 Or you can do what I did. Went to the yunk yards and found an 08 tC read ended, and they pulled the headlights got them for $220 the pair. You will for sure find the pair, if not get one side and wait fro the other one to pop out.

[ProTuner06]

@NeXuS858 Yeah, I've already been looking from junk yard to junk yard. So far, no tc's of any year at all :/ I'm going to keep looking though. I'll find one evertually.

[offroadfury6]

google DDM tuning...FTW...great prices...

[pearl112]

@offroadfury6 Thank you for the DDM Tuning suggestion! I just ordered a pair, hopefully I wont be disappointed!

[offroadfury6]

@pearl112 thats what I'm running, Decent priced and I've heard nothing but good things. I've got the harness on mine and no issues, so far lol =P

[pearl112]

@offroadfury6 I just got mine today, and just finished installing them, but I think they sent me 6000k instead of 8000k, they dont look very blue at all. Would you mind telling me the color of the stick you have running along the bulb?

[offroadfury6]

@pearl112 mine are white but that depends on the type of bulb and color though...I like 6K better. If you are unsure, they have a customer service center in 2 cities. call them, describe the bulb and give them the numbers off it and maybe they can confirm it for you. You can also download visual pictures of each of DDM's bulbs off their website and compare. it's through Acrobat reader...go to "DDMtuning" site, click on "Support", click on "Downloads", then download "HID Bulb Guide"...

[pearl112]

@offroadfury6 Thanks dude, I actually called them earlier and they said "Well what does it say on the box.." I know for a fact now that they're not 8000k. Also, when I installed them, the hi/low is backwards. Whenever I turn on my brights, it turns on my Low beams. But when I turn the brights off, its on my High beams. So Im gonna have to call them again tomorrow, because I got pulled over about 2 hours ago :P 6000k isn't that bad, i just want a little bit more blue

[offroadfury6]

@pearl112 Reverse Polarity maybe? call them back, I'm sure they can help you with your hi/low issue, did you install the HID's in the high beam insted of low beam spot? and If it is your ordering error, I dunno if they will exchange but if it's their error, call 'em back, I'm sure they'll have no issue swapping you some 8k's...

Good luck and double check your stuff...go back to the site and look at your ordering history to confirm what color you really did order. ;)

Happy H.I.D.'ing...

[coldhustla]

i got that shit fukin love moddin my tc =D

[darren509]

where did u buy your kit and how much

[ProTuner06]

Nice Kit! I just bought the 8000k from MengMotorsports. I can't wait till they come in!

[NeXuS858]

@ProTuner06 Meng is good!

[odin5150]

what do i need to do to get thows installed do they get HOTTER then norm halogens Common man more detail this shits cool LOL

[Cdubsss91]

yo, whats the name of the kit you bought and from where? i like the look and the color, pretty sick

[jo53wbf]

from where you bought your kit i want my car to have that same light blueish color , I recently bought one but it is more white than blue and i don t like it that much

[FridayNightLights321]

@jo53wbf I bought a 8000k kit from eBay and they were way to white to be 8k. So I sold that kit to a friend a bought a different 8000k kit from eBay and they were blue, it looks awesome. I got some pictures of the difference from my old kit and my new kit. The kit was 90 bucks hi/low and he has great feedback. You should look into eBay.

[bradrsavidge]

@zuneluvr sadly i know exactly what u mean there are clowns everywhere who improperly do installs if your gunna do something do it right and dont make others suffer

[joeyloka24]

i fucken love my HID's =] 8k not too blue just perfect

[NeXuS858]

Yeah 8000k is perfect if you want some blue with a lot of visible light. But im switching to 4300k now pure white is the way to go. OEM look FTW.

[jo53wbf]

where did you buy your kit i want that same kolor my 8000k are not like that so i am going to change them

[Weazell]

I love my 8000k's, but I'd say 6500k would be perfect.

[joeyloka24]

clean make sure to post it up so i can see how they gona look.

[silentdreameater]

that looks good man, my GF works at toyota i might stop by and get a discount on an HID Headlight set. i know ive seen some there.

looks good though props to you man

[zuneluvr]

you should get projectors

[NeXuS858]

Already have some I havent posted a new video yet!

[zuneluvr]

good. im getting tired of those that replace halogen with hid bulbs without projectors and blind the shit out of people.

[jondez09]

headlights need projectors and then they need to be aimed

[NeXuS858]

@jondez09 Got projectors now, the only thing that blind s a bit are the HID on my foglights lol

[SNGUYE1]

i reallllly like that color. Can you tell me is it just the bulb that you replace (if yes then where did you get it?) or you have the HID kit convertor?

[antonyM2007]

were did you get them from

[emericadp]

Clean!

[NeXuS858]

Thanks! This is not my current setup anymore switched to the new 08-09 tC headlights with projectors cutoff is sweet on them ill be uploading a video.

[saddy78]

I put some 6000k lights on my '09 with the projector beams and they came out really good.

[NeXuS858]

Yeah the cutoff is sweet on the 08-09 projectos I swapped the headlight. Havent had time to post an updated video.

[2146725]

where did you have it swapped..?

[NeXuS858]

I swapped them myself. It was really easy you just gotta take off the front bumper.

[irvingglc]

Hey man those look Clean! I just posted a video of my Scion tc with Projectors, and 6000K. They look so damn clean! And the video will show you the nice cutoff, and the color of my scion.

Come check out my video for those of you who want to see 6000K on projectors! Thanks

[NeXuS858]

Hey thanks! Ill be checking that out, I am getting the OEM headlights for the 08-09 tC's that have projectors in them.

[spprtatpscm]

Get projectors instead of using stock reflector headlights. Kinda ruins the point of having an HID kit.

[NeXuS858]

I will be putting projectors sometime this week, to get that good cutoff ill be sure to post a video...

[tiwer1]

did the wires just plug and play with HID or did you have to disconnect anything else like you do on some cars.

[NeXuS858]

Just disconnect the factory harness, and plug everything in place. The HID kit should have a socket were you plug your factory harness.

[tiwer1]

ok thank you lots. im definitely gettin hid's my friends have them. ima go 6000k. i was just reading some gibberish about having to disconnect daytime running lights to run hid's but didnt know if that article had applied to the tC's. thanks for your help greatly appreciated. i have an 07 with mods, be sure and check my page out on here for some vids of it.

[NeXuS858]

No problem glad to help! HID's runing strong but gonna swap the bulbs since I got the new 08-09 headlights with projectors that shopuld give me a clean cutoff.

[KING08KOKO]

tc looks like a piece of shit , fuckin bread slowass shit

RSX NUMBER ONE!

[genoark]

SparkHID . COM xenon lights, HID lights, HID conversion kit, car + motorcycle Xenon HID lights, head lamps.

[miamicrix]

i love it when people flashing their highbeams and getting off the road because of these lights!

[NeXuS858]

lol well my 3000k golden yellow highs blind the shit off people.

[DEZUZD]

nice ive got the 85,00k with the 25,00k yellow fogs looks sik

[157385]

hey was wondering where u get that one at ben looking around n i like da one u got one there thnks.

[infinityg35jayne]

my friend just got the 30000k bulbs n we needed to put on a speical covering over the entire fixture bc it would melt the plastic if we did not

n we spen about $100 a month on tickets bc my friends headlights are brighter than the sun when u look into them haha

[Silverstreak98]

LOL wow......omg your lights are so bright! Too bad all of the light is going into the air and not on the ground.

Crap output.

[ldsricky]

You should be a comedian your are very funny sir.

[begokk]

my 8000k HID is not the same color as yours and it is darker. any idea why?

[NeXuS858]

What do you mean? They are not as bright? More blue or white? Sometimes the temperature varies from brands.

[Racing1on1]

did you use the relay harness to install this kit or without it.

[NeXuS858]

Nope no relay used, I it is used as an extra protection if your unsure. But I got this over a year now and had no problems what so ever.

[breakout831]

It's only a matter of time before you blow your switch for your lights. HID's don't use as much power (volts) but they use more amps. I give it less then two years before you're replacing your switch.

[NeXuS858]

They may use more amps, but where not talking about an old car here. Newer cars are designed to hold more power. However I do agree I am more prone to problems without the relay. I do have it, but I have been kind of lazy installing it.

[Steadyasshegoes24]

idk im juss not in2 the blue

[LaLa6699]

are those legal? i want someeee

[loojika121212]

thats it 8k ...I have 12k on my scion show car check them out on the internet....they kick ass

[Jackruby22]

Don't listen to these grandads...the lights look fine, they just bugging out because they wish their lights were as blue as yours....i got 8000k too and drive pass police with them on all the time, they dont batter an eyelid and I've also never been flashed by oncoming vehicles, instead i get many motorist admiring them...plus my vision hasnt been affected by them either....so really these guys complaining are just geeks.

[NeXuS858]

Yeah people are so anal. I already told them that my garage door is an metal aloy bronze or something like that, so it doesnt show a cutoff more like huge hotspot. And it isnt totaly blue the camera makes it look like a 10,000k. I am not saying there is no glare there is a little as all aftermarket HID kits so learn something before u post idiotic comments "oh there is no cutoff" 'its so blue, your gonna get stopped"

Link of a picture for the noobies, in the description.

[ChristianM17]

lmao

A proper lighting setup = $600

Your HID kit = $90

My projector setup changes colors due to the projector itself bending the light

Your setup = Ricing blue all the time

Me > you

[ldsricky]

Sure anime boy... You drive what? A geo metro?

[mrblob20]

@Jackruby22 Grandads? No one is jealous about blue light, because for $20 anyone can get BLUE hid's. The problem is, you and everyone who does this are just stupid and have no idea about lighting technology. Google: "intellexual net hid" and read the entire article. Then when you stop being a retard, then come talk.

[mrblob20]

@Jackruby22 "...A blue HID bulb will produce colour bleed around the headlight, around the objects it lights up, outside of the beam pattern, and around the cut off line. This is effect is known as "glare", and these illegal and improperly installed HID kits are the reason why HIDs get a bad wrap..."

[vtecboysciontc]

i have aftermarket HID's on my TC but they are 6000k (Solid White) so it doesnt look so ricey but it looks classy... SOrry man blue HID's? go with 6000k

[viper2788]

cmon people you dont all have to give this guy negative ratings. he simply stated his opinion in a respectable way. save them ratings for ignorant people bashing tCs and such..

anyway, i thought they look pretty cool. cant go wrong with blue! my fav color lol anyone else think its ricey tho?

[NeXuS858]

Blue? I already told the camera shows off to much blue.

[240sxy]

wow..brutal glare

[lily0204]

best cut off ever.. i havent seen that much glare since i stared at teh sun :P

[Husain5221]

not bad not bad, we got sum xenon type lights on our 2000 accord there not exactly xenons but there the regular lights wit blue glass over the light thingy they look nice as hell

[NeXuS858]

I bought them at the link on the video description. I had some hyper white bulbs to they look nice but you cant compare them to HID they look sick.

[civicstriker1818]

school yourself on HID's please. You can see some SERIoUS hotspots and glare above the cutoff. If you don't know what they are and you bought this kit bc it looks "good" go google HID's. Optics on your headlights are not for HID's. And if you aim them down to cut glare, you're defeating the purpose of HID's which is better visibility and the output will be the same as halogens

[NeXuS858]

They dont glare as it shows, I know all aftermarket HID's have some glare. The garage door is actualy like dark gold polish metal, so it reflects the light and it shows like I have some serious glare but I dont.

[civicstriker1818]

trust me you do...

the hotspots are horrible...

[NeXuS858]

Well I have yet to be stopped or flashed. Its better than those super rice bulbs.

[civicstriker1818]

you still don't get it. hID pnp kits are considered rice. So the super rice bulbs you bash so much about are the same shit you got in your car. NHTSA has suspended their chase on US sellers of hid kits temporary...nhtsa . gov

Learn few facts you can even get written a ticket by the scion manufacturer for modifying the headlight and that's a BIG law suit. Go google such lawsuits and good luck

[pingpong909]

yea i agree with civic... the cutoff line is... well to me its not present. and thats really illegal. since you will be blinding on comming cars and cars that are infront of you. also if you drive behind a cop.. your gunna get nailed..

your best bet is to retrofit a projector.

[gedaman]

man those are overly bright! maybe I should not install the 10,000k HIDs I just bought for my car...

[jondez09]

Just aim headlights correctly and you wont blind others



[Trurida18]

LMAO! @ some one getting written a ticket by the manufacturer.......TTHEY DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU DO TO THE CAR AFTER YOU PURCHASE IT!

man stop being a bitch, and if you actually believe a manufacturer has ANY POWER over anything "AFTER" YOU PURCAHSE IT YOUR FUCKING NUTZ....now let me inform you on a little something called retail, As long as you dont ATTEMPT TO REDISTRIBUTE A PRODUCT "as your own"....IN THIS CASE A SCION, WHICH IS MADE BY TOYOTA..... THEY CANT DO SHIT

[Husain5221]

damn how much were dos hids?

[NeXuS858]

They were $175

[Strain85]

where did you buy them?
