most factory HID's in BMW's and Mercedes are 4300k. anything lower than that gets yellow. the higher the number the more blue it is and get purple at 10,000k
I have 5000k hids and i love the brightness and color. Most people go 6000k, but I think they look too blue.

Perfect color, not to blue, but not to white. IMO anyways.

This is the first time I'm going to attempt to put HIDs into reflector housings - the mustang has a great beam pattern so I'm hoping they work and save the cut-off

Unfortunately, nobody makes a projector headlight for the mustang that doesn't make me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

I had a set of HID's in the reflector housings in my Silverado, and just recently switched that set over to the Trailblazer (also reflector housings) and both are awesome. I haven't noticed any obnoxious cutoff in the light. Give em a shot and see how they work. For $40 bucks you can't go wrong. Even if you DO have a shitty cut-off, you could always box the thing back up and sell it on ebay for $80 I'm sure.


I'll be ordering a few sets from DDM as well

Looks like you need H10 for your fogs. 5000k is the whitest that DTM has for the bulbs and that's what you'll want.


yellow in the fogs is actually REALLY nice in the rain, but I don't think they carry them.

They use the 9007 for the headlight bulb (get their high/low kit! I have it in the mustang and it works great).

Fogs are a 880

The high/low kit I have in my car now is where the brights actually look like regular head light bulbs, they almost look like a real dim white. Are these kits like that? Because I ordered a High/Low.

Hmm ... I'm not sure if I completely understand what you mean but: Their High/low kit uses a powered magnet to physically move the bulb inside the housing into the placement of the High Beam filament (So nothing changes but the optics).

05-05-2009, 08:27 PM
I installed a set of 6K's on our '07 Envoy Denali and '01 SSEi. I ordered another set for the fogs on each vehicle, too.
The 6K's seem more like the 8K's in the picture above.
I wish I would have gotten the 5K's, because I wanted to stay away from the blue-ish color.
It still looks and performs sweet as hell.

It's pretty much a plug and play kit, however, I still had to do some slight modifications on my vehicles. The Denali, SSEi, and Camaro are all 9006 bulb types. With the 9006 application, I had to remove part of the wiring it came with, and also swap the wires on the vehicles headlamp wiring harness. The HID kit shows on the connector which wire needs to be the positive and negative wires on the actual harness. With both cars I hooked up, the wires were switched, so I had to push out the wires from the car's harness, and swap them. Make sense?

The only problem I had with the Denali is that the daytime running lights aren't very easily bypassed. I ended up buying the 'harness' they sell with the relay and battery connections to hopefully solve the issue. The problem with DRL's is that the vehicle only sends like half the power to the bulbs compared to having your normal headlights on. The HID's need more than that to function, so you run into problems where only one HID bulb will come on, or none at all. It just can't draw enough power to ignite.
So what the harness does, is it connects the HID kit directly to the battery and only uses the 'signal' of ON or OFF from the headlamp wires (or so I'm hoping :crying).
Ryan, can you shed some light on this problem? Is my thinking correct?

The SSEi was fine, though.... because it uses the high beam bulbs at half power for the DRL's. :thumbsup

I'm still debating whether or not to convert the SS to HID's. I think it would attract even MORE unwanted attention to it.

PureSound15
05-05-2009, 09:57 PM
Don't worry about them being a bit blue. All HID's colorshift; they change color over time and eventually settle into a shade that is slightly less blue than what they are out of the box. I do agree though, even my 5000k seem to have more blue tint than I expected (although hardly any blue) compared to my Acura which came with 4300k from the Factory.

You're right with the DRL and sending half the power and you're also correct with why that does not help the HID's function. The way that you set it up with the relay will work and basically tell the HID's to draw power from the battery - actually that's the way that 90% of HID kits have to be wired up because of the current draw (amps) that overloads stock wiring (not all, and mostly older stock wirimg)

There must be a way to turn off your DRLs - I certainly wouldn't want my HIDs on all the time. Although, I guess bulbs are cheaper now so it's not that big of a deal.

My 9007 were also switched. I had to switch the high and low in the 9007 harness.

I believe the wiring/BCM is that same as my 08 Trailblazer as Envoy=Trailblazer
You have to put a relay in under the rear seat to bypass the DRL's. I did it on my truck, super easy. Let me know if you wanna do this, I can give you a hand with it, or at least get you the instructions to do so.

Dave, that'd be awesome! Please forward those instructions to me if you could.

I came across some shit on TrailVoy.com, but I'm pretty sure I'd lose the automatic headlight feature at nighttime with the method I did find.
Since this vehicle is Tasha's daily driver, I'd rather not part ways with that feature. It's been 2 days since I installed the HID kit, and she's already forgotten to turn the headlight switch to OFF a few times which also turns the DRL's off. So then she's been driving around town with only one light, half on... LOL

on your truck, next to the headlight switch is there a small light that comes on when your headlights are acutally on? it wont be on when the DRL's are on, just when either the automatic lights come on or if you manually swith them on?

I've never heard of the Dodge issue - so now I'm curious as to how to get around it. You'd think that if it were as simple as adding resistors.... they would have done that.

they sell these canceler kits, however it only works for one side, i think between the two cancelers on one harness they put enough resistance to trick the light, but that only covers one side of the lights, i still have an open socket.

PureSound15

I had to re-pin mine, too. I was thinking that your problems were more complicated than that. Sorry fellas I could have saved you some heartache.


Imagine my frustration when I pulled the pins out of the harness and though tat I swapped the pins. Of course I put them back in the same EFFING holes and couldn't figure out why it didn't work.

It's all good now. Amazing how well the low/high kit works.

the headlight issue is more complicated than switching pins. the fog lights are just tied into the parking lot relay so it doesnt throw the light or have a limp home mode for them. the headlights im going to be playing around with this weekend. reisistors will fix the issue. i just need to figure out the draw of a stock 9007 bulb.

I want a set too, I just gotta figure out which one. I'm thinking the 35w 10000k kit. I've been reading through the posts and still have a couple questions. Since my drl's are a different bulb, the hid's wont affect them at all right? And, the auto on/off feature for the headlights also won't be affected? BTW, they will be going on my silverado.

I would recommend the 4300K not 10K. thats all nasty. Even the 4300K were more blueish than my denali HID's

Werd QFT. If you do 10k I will personally maltov coctail your truck ... and you won't be able to see where the hell you're going if the pavement is wet with 10k. You will have to do some research to find out if your truck currently changes the voltage sent to the halogen bulbs for auto on/off. If that's the case - you'll have to find a way to disable it.

Jeff - the color should turn more white after they color-shift a bit.

I put the 5000K in my 2000 Silverado, they are very blue, if I did it again I would get the 4000K or the 3000K.

The auto light stuff works fine, when I put them in I had to flip the plugs to the light harness to make them work, I had to do the same with the harness for my plow lights also, I think thats just a GM truck quirk.......

Do they have 4000k at DDM now? 3000k are actually bright yellow, but I agree that my 5000k are bluer than I'd prefer.

I want the bluish color to it. But maybe the 4500-5000k kit would be better. I'm kinda dumb when it comes to these kits, so any help is appreciated. I was using the pics that someone posted up to be my judge. I was talking to a friend of mine that did the install on his 99 silverado. He said that he had no probs with the install/function. The auto headlights worked fine, as did the drl's. He did say, though, that some GM's had issues with only one light coming on and either replacing the relay or just turning the lights off then on again.

Ya....I goofed, meant 4500K. I got a set of 4500Ks for the wifes Excursion, and the brights on my Silverado, haven't had time to install either of them, we'll have to see how they look.

I'd like to see the 3000K, I'd want to do my plow lights and need something that works good in the snow. I ASSuming yellow is better than blue for nasty weather?...........

My bros 97 gtp did the same thing. I don't think it has anything to do with aftermarket headlights though. Maybe a shim? Or make sure all your mounting bolts are tight.

Well, I ordered a set last friday and just got them in the mail today. I took your BCM's advice and didn't go with the 10k's I was considering. I went with the 5k 35w set. The install took less than 30 min, including swapping two of the terminals from + to -, which I was kinda expecting. I haven't tried them in the night yet but I will tonight. I will post my results!

Something definately doesn't sound right. The plastic ring is nothing, it only holds the bulb cover during shipment. I didn't get the hi/low kit but I would think there would be some plug and play connector to go straight from the low to the high beam. Mine didn't come with any instructions though either...

07-29-2009, 12:50 AM
I gotta think it holds the bulb in the housing right? I might be wrong on that but looking at the bulb nothing else would hold it in place otherwise or am I way off as mine doesnt have instructions in it either.

P.S. Each of my connectors that will connect to my existing system are bare wires like that with those metal clips on the end. I guess mine will be a hard wired system LOL.

Even my HIDs have bare wires on each side. Oh well hopefully they go in ok

Those bare wires look like what should be attached to a blue male connector. That male connector is then attached to the femal headlight socket from either side of your vehicles headlight system.

I am thiking that you have the 9007 bulbs but will be easy to check if you pop one out real quick unless you recognize it right away as being the one. If thats so you will need the 9007 HID kit in your choice of color with a hi/lo controller (if you want) and then the 880 HID kit for your fogs cause I am pretty sure your bulbs are the 893 replacements in your fog lights according to the same americanmuscle.com site I posted already

as long as they are factory replacements they will have the same holes to mount any normal halogen bulb into and these will be the same. The hid bulb has the exact mounting hardware the factory bulb has, it only adds the hid lamp where the halogen one was so there wont be any issue. Just be sure to get the 35 watt kit to avoid melting or turning your new lamps yellow

Strange - 4500 is a factory white, legal bulb - 3000k is where they go yellow.

I got the 5000k and they are perfect. just a slight tint of blue. Look factory.
4500k should not look yellow. are you sure they are the right bulbs? Mixup possibly.

I finally rode the busa with the h.i.d. in last night and i had to do adj. here and there until i didn't blind people nor point it at the ground. Its in the projector housing of the headlight but i've been told for some reason they put the cutoff on the bottom? wierd i guess but it wasn't designed for h.i.d. bulbs i guess. Any way the 8000k look awsome and the street signs reflect it back for i swear a mile. and the white signs like to cange colors as i come up on them. i think once i get a new DD its getting hid's fo sho. These are cheap and amazing. I vote best bang for your buck bulbs!

Hmmm definitely very strange that the cutoff would be at the bottom - even with a motorcycle light being meant to catch attention and be safer, it's strange.

yea i know but there was a guy who pulled the whole assembly apart and flipped it. it looked better but i'll leave mine where its at it lights up enough and doesn't seem to be bothering any one. But yea you can clearly see the cut off on the ground it boggles me too.

lilws6

it used to be the high beam i flipped 2 wires from the switch now the lights work the exact oposite. would that be why the cut off is backward? cuz its the high beam?

PureSound15
10-25-2009, 01:22 AM
Yes - the cutoff is upside down because it was the high beam - focusing light up and ahead rather than the road in front of you.

Definitely a huge difference side by side. There's a VERY noticeable blue tinge to my Cobra when next to my Acura (4300k factory) and Joe's G6 (4300k DDM kit).

Enough of a difference that I just ordered the 4300k bulbs.

hmm. I had also heard from others that the same temp kit from one mfgr can differ from another in the same temp as far as color.

I forget what the temp is on the kit in the TBSS, but it is pure white. I got it a few years ago from Junky and still works great.

I'm willing to bet the factory HID's in your Acura are of higher quality then these $40 kits, but hey... for the price... you can't beat it. I want to order up a few kits soon.

so the hid kits for sale linked in this thread... are they plug and play, or do you have to do some hard wiring?

Depends on the vehicle. On older vehicles, I'd definitely use a relay harness to make up for the halogen spec wiring.

Some newer cars (or cars that may have had HID headlights as an option) already have HD wiring can handle it.

Everything I've used them on so far was plug and play :thumbsup

I have to say that I have never had any problems with the power draw on any car only because of exactly what you said. There's some stories of fuses needing to be upped 5 amps or so because of the turn on - but I have never personally had that issue.

I logged in - it says that it was plaed but nothing shipped yet.


Did you adjust your fogs? I aimed mine so far down that the actual cutoff is about a foot off the ground - it worked well and I've never been flashed. I still can't believe how little glare there is from the stock reflector headlight housing.

Thanks Jeff, I am not sure if that is what is wrong or not. Anyone know if I can run the bulb directly to the battery to test if it works with direct power? If that works, then the wiring harness/ballast combos probably took a crap.

I orderd up a set of the 55W 8000k HIDs. They have heavier duty ballasts and went in nice and easy. I switched from the 35W kits with 6000k to 55W 8000k and the light output is super bright white. Perfect for what I am looking for. Thanks again for the input. I am sending the 35w faulty units back for warranty work and will find out exactly what is was.

sorry but 10,000k is GAY. thats a purple look that REALLY blinds people and gives you no added light besides a GAY purple haze. If anything, I think at that temp you lose light. better off running some rope neon lights around your bumper if all you want is to stand out.

I ordered 10000k because they are 55 watts. When using 55w they say that the color tends to wash/flush out because it's brighter, so if I went with 8000k 55w it's going to have the color of 6000k. By going with the 10000k it will have more of a 8000k color. Also, these are going in actual projectors as well, and not in my car, in my gfs lol.
