What's a good hid kit to buy for s14?

Post by **night240** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 12:00 am

Okay so I'm getting new headlights and I was wondering what hid brands should I go with?
btw it's Kouki 98 headlights I'm getting.

Xenon hid kit?

Over in the A/C world its usually Xentec or DDM Tuning that I hear beaing tossed around. I think DDM has a good product with some good choices (almost bought but too lazy to do HIDS) but I cant speak against the Xentec so go with whichever is good for your price range and gives your comfort at night... haha, but yeah i hear good things bout both so I dont think you can do wrong

^ That's what I have on my 240. DDM Tuning is very good quality. Lifetime warranty and only $40.

Get the real thing.

Real HID bulb's don't even cost $75 dollars...so what will a $40 HID even do?

They are awesome! Very simple to install although they do not come with directions. It's pretty straight forward. Very good light output. A few of my friends also have them on their cars. I recommend them to anyone wanting HID's.

EDIT: Also, go with 35watt. 55watt is too powerful, it will just blow fuses.

Why pay $250 for something that works just as good or even better that's $40? They work exactly like HID's are supposed to. I have zero problems with them

They don't.....that's the thing.

I wonder why OEM's use them instead of DDM's, they'd save a lot more money eh.

Listen to this man.

Halogen projectors weren't made to use High Intensity Discharge bulbs

I recommend you go to http://www.hidplanet.com and do some more research. Do it right the first time.
here's link to a retro someone did on a MCS14. Check it out.

I bought a kit off of here from one of our sponsors for my kouki. I don't remember the name but they had thier own thread going somewhere on here. I paid less than $50 and they work perfect. The light output and cutoffs is just fine with factory housings on the kouki. I have had zero problems. Just mount the balasts, do a small amount of wiring and you are good to go. LOL I remember when HIDs were rediculous expensive. Just like everything else as soon as the technology becomes more available and cheaper to produce the price will go down.

Post by **night240** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 7:56 am

well I just sent a e-mail to http://www.philipshidkits.com/ to see how much for hids

Post by **matt_240sx** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 8:16 am

I fail. I just saw their basic HID kits. They still cost the same as DDM ones though

Unless you really feel like paying $250..

hmmm I just hope I don't get bad hids that flicker I'm gonna be so mad.

Post by **alms24sebring** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 2:33 pm

I also have the Ebay ones. They are real hids not that regular bulb with blue paint on it. Still work goodly good after 2 years. The only problem I had was that the left light wouldnt come on one time, but later fixed itself.. dont know what that was about

Just remember, DDM has lifetime warranty

You can always get it replaced. Most company's will replace a faulty bulb for free.

I just ordered some DDM tuning HID's. I really don't think you can go wrong with the price and a good warranty. I'll let you know how they turn out.

I have had my xenon 8000k for about 2 months now, i have to say for $32 you cant go wrong, no flickering or anything and they work great.

Just curious, i have silvia head lights on my S14, will any HID kit work for these? or do they have to be some sort of "JDM" HID?
