Default Sources to purchase HID

Hey Guys,

Been looking around on eBay for a good bi-xenon HID retrofit kit. Nothing seems to have everything I need. I want to do this RIGHT, but not purchase a whole headlight assembly...so I want the projector lens/shroud that I can put in my original assembly even if it requires some modifying...I've found several tutorial videos that show how to do this quite well. Where I am having a problem is finding a kit that includes everything...the projectors, bulbs, ballasts, relays, etc. I found a nice kit that doesn't seem to be a cheap chinese kit, but it has no projectors...and I can't seem to find empty projectors.

Does anyone have a good source to purchase what I need?

opening the original assemblies will involve baking them in your oven at 350 for 15 minutes.

I got my headlight assemblies on Ebay from VIPMotorz

Well, I like value, but don't want to waste money on cheap junk that doesn't last. I'm not even sure what they going price is, as eBay doesn't seem to have a good selection

They sell the Spyder brand of headlights.

I picked a mat black unit, my buddy has a chromed unit. They booth look and perform fantastic. My short review? They're solidly built, construction appears to be as good as OEM. Nothing about them feels "cheap", though they are inexpensive.

Here's some pics I just took for you.

Thanks for the link, they don't offer HID for my 06 though. They call it a projector light, which makes it sound like a HID, but then specify it is a halogen bulb.

Yeah you need to bring your own HID kit, but the projector housings are required for HID.

Ah, ok...I get it, I would be buying these just for the projectors. Every place I've found on google with the part numbers on that website seem pretty expensive as is, much less when I have to add the HID kit to it. I don't have any issues with how my lights work now, so that seems a bit steep to just want brighter and better. I have had a few cars that it probably would have been worth it to me, but not this one. I'm hoping to find a cheaper option.

You just want brighter? The phillips x-treme brand and the Sylvania SilverStrar Ultras will give you a noticeable improvement over the stock OEM bulbs.
