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.

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

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

@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..."

[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.

@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...

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