hey guys, i have some ?'s about these things. i have some halo projectors and i had to completely re-wire the entire set up, big time PITA. which brands out there are a true plug and play for a 98 eclipse im thinking about the one that brucesspeed.com sells, i think they r hanabi?

Find out what kind of bulbs your HIDs take, and then you can get a HID kit from just about anywhere. There is a large range of prices and quality, but it seems that Philips makes the best bulbs and those are the ones everybody wants.
If you are going back to the stock headlights, look for kits that fit either 9005 or 9006 bulbs. You'll probably want to replace the 9006s, be because those are the ones we use most often (lowbeams), or you could replace both, although that is quite a bit of money.

i have the 9006, so i wouldnt have to re-wire anything at all? cause with my halos i had to buy connnectors so i could plug it in. and i had to rewire everything.

your projectors have 9006 bulbs in them?
then any HID bulb made to fit a 9006 will work, and if you've already re-wired everything installing the HID kit shouldn't be much of a problem. go to http://www.hidforum.com/ (I think that's the site), and look in their installation pages. They have pretty clear and concise guides on how to put HIDs in on other cars, and the process isn't any different then it is on our cars. You won't really even be using the stock wiring anymore.

ok thank man

my mistake , the bulbs are h1 ok one more question.........my projector's intructions say NOT to use hid bulbs, but dont state why not. why is this?

liability issues, they can't say "use with HIDS" incase something goes wrong.

put the HIDs in anyway. not much bad can happen, they won't melt the projectors or anything because HID bulbs are colder, temperature wise, when on then traditional bulbs.

yea thats exactly what i thought. i knew hids werent hotter than stock.

I am a memeber of HIDplanet.com, and they like really praise doing a retrofit, I would like to get opinions from you guys on yoru HID kits. I really dont feel like bothering with doing an OEM retrofit with the balast and bulbs in my projectors, and I have heard bad things about McCullouch's balasts going bad.
