HID kit that works!
#13
the install wasn't just too hard. the only thing that is time consuming is routing the wiring harness and finding a spot to mount the ballasts. i put mine inside the fenders. if you just remove the front grille by unscrewing the bolts(i think theres about 6 of them) then it makes things much easier and will save you time. the kit comes with everything you need. wiring harness with integrated relay, 2 ballasts, 2 bulbs. everything works like factory.

Very good.. You would have really loved a lower kelvin like say 4300K as that is as true a white light you can get. I have been running retro-solutions 4300k in my SuperDuty for well over a year and have yet to find a need to even engage the hi beams. 3000K is very amber and works great as a fog light. Glad you can enjoy your new lights.

The only reason they are 8000K is that PilotHID mistakenly sent me that instead of 6000K like I ordered....twice! So they finally sent me the correct 6000k bulbs which I now have and am happy with, very white light, no blue or yellow at all. They told me to just keep the other 2 sets of 8000k bulbs, all of this was no charge to me, which was great of them, so if anyone wants some 8000k bulbs.....

i believe this one is mechanical. it appears to magnetize the bulb and pull it back closer to the reflector which turns it into a highbeam. there is a noticeable clunk sound when the highbeams are switched on. seems to work effectively with this kit. both hi and low are HID.

i put some silverstars in our h3 and couldn't tell any difference to speak of.i ordered a 55watt digital 6000k hid bi-xenon which is low and high beam and was blown away at the difference...email todd at retrosolutions.com and tell him ben sent you.he'll make up a kit with a resistor in it that meets the needs of our hummers.
