ok so i was looking on ebay and i randomly can to a guy who sells 10 single beam hid kits for 250 bucks and 380 bucks shipping. he said i could order different colors or we could all come to an agreement on one color

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...em=250264473462

thats the link. any one want to go in on it? i mean obviously it wouldnt happen if there wernt 10 ppl cuse i dont want to get stuck with extras

it works out to about 70 bucks for each. and i dont think additional shipping would be much more. so like 100 bucks or so which is an over estimate.

let me know and pm me if your in.

moderator pls dont move this as its only for our cars and doesnt do any good if pppl dont know it available

Hmm it doesnt even tell what e-mark the kits are.

I suggest to get projectors. Do a retrofit and get if possible a good HID kit, but any HID kit would work good on projectors.

i dont know nobodies...
looks kinda sketchy..
I cant find any direct answer as to if they're digital ballasts or not..

protection:protection has received positive and negative, open load protection, short circuit protection triple load protection.

exquisite:new safety and the original design of the lights fully consistent and astigmatism.

electronic components:imports chip,

I dont get it... but hey, i suppose im down if something proves that they're legit..

our cars should get projectors with the HID's and the whole retrofit is a bit out of my budget right now to think about it.

You already opened your headlight, you should not be afraid of a retrofit :P.

lol

well, if you want a HID kit you can get one for less than $90 shipped without having to do a group buy

the retro is expensive and im cheap. it not a group buy. its just 10 kits for sale at whole sale. and im not afrid of doing the retro, i just think its too much effort and time for a mod. ive been dying for the last few weeks with out my car and i dont exactly want to put it out of comission for a week to change my headlights... again.

btw you can also get thw hids for other cars too. the dude said any combo of lights/bulb

and its 65 dollars shipped. 130 for two.
one year complete warranty, digital ballasts.

if you can find a better deal on sleezbay, let me know

If you aren't willing to retrofit the HID kit with the projectors, just get the LED bulbs. You get a similar look as far as the lighting goes without the expensive retrofitting.

I'm telling you, if you want HIDs, you will want the projectors. oncoming drivers will thank you for it.

LED's

here is a link to bulbs that will fit on our car. i hope the vehicle selection is still under Accent. If not, it will be easy to browse the site.

Also if your curious about the bulb sizes, and a site doesnt have our car as an option, here is a complete list of what our car needs.

did you ever checked this topic??
http://www.hyundai-forums.com/t27148-diy-h...rs-retrofit.htm


- bi-xenon projectors (Inifniti FX) $140 (there are cheaper ones, I saw this on $80)
- H4 bi-xenon harness $55 (if you contact a chinese guy from ebay he might be able to sell you one cheaper)
- D2S HID kit (2 ballasts + 2 bulbs) from $80 (better quality are more expensive but from $80 you will get a kit just like the one you want to buy)
- Shrouds bezels from $25 (you can make your own bezels so dont count this)

$80 + $55 = $135
as you can see the parts are not expensive

the expensive tool would be the dremel, it costs like $40 (or you can get one of a friend/family I dont know :P) I would say you would spend like $200 more, but the output is amazing

opiter: is not that hard. its easy but it is time consuming, if you rush it, which I dont recommend, it can take you about 2 days, but it took me like a week, but I didnt have the tips I posted on the DIY for you


and no be honest with you a HID kit in our headlights will just give you the nice color but it wont light up the road better. Ive had it before. It will be brighter on the ground, yes, on a place called hotspot. you wont have the wide beam pattern and the light wont be improved

Oh yed I know my boyfriend has HID headlights and foglights on his mazda 3. They're great, and i plan to retrofit eventually. Although, since i just spent like 450.00 in mods this last month, i plan to put it on the back burner and maybe ask the boyfriend to buy me HID's w/projectors for our anniversary.
