Leo's HID's in my wagon are nothing short of fucking excellent.

Time to warm is fine, they are such a huge change to the OEM. Love it.

HID question

Postby Nipple06 » Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:46 pm

Hid hi beams for the win
I have 8 ballasts and I can say they are worth the wait to warm up
Tho you do need a relay kit and if your going to get them I sugest you get them from Leo as he will help you with the install and he has all the stuff

You can also get matching 5000k phillips halogen fogs. Mine were about $40 delivered from ebay (I think).
Also note that you need a special relay to use LED blinkers. If you just want to get rid of the amber colour you can also go for the chrome type blinker bulbs, that get rid of the orange look.

You can either superglue it or use zipties. The plastic clip is a known weakness so just be very careful in the future - you don't want to break your other one!!

i had crystal visions in my old gen 2 lib. I found that because of the non-clear plastic on the fog lights that the light that came through remained a yellowish colour instead of blue. has anyone else experienced this? do i maybe need to go to 5000k's when i do them on my gen 4? :) also arent the 5000ks 'illegal'?
