Re: anyone running hid headlights

Im running them on my 81, phantom grill as well. BTW they are not near as blue as they look.



I ordered a set of E code headlight housing like these and a set of 6000k hids from ddmtuning.com.

I recommend the E code leneses over the diamond cut and the "projector" imitators on ebay as they will just scatter light everywhere. The proper way to do it would be an actual projector retrofit but that can get a bit expensive.

Had mine for 2 years now and have had no problem with them. (Other than the company I got them from no longer carries H.I.D. retro fit kits. Here's my install..... H.I.D.'s

Re: anyone running hid headlights
