2008 Scion xB HID Kits

I have his kit, 4300K. Good stuff indeed.
Congrats!

What would be great is if they came this week, so I could keep up w/ the mod-a-week schedule I noticed I've gotten on...

Last weekend: Tanabe DF210 springs, license plate & reverse LEDs; 2 weekends ago: lighting project; 3 weekends ago: Grillecraft grilles - after that, I can't remember

Nice schedule!

I had my HID's waiting for me, I drove one night with halogen, and it hurt lol
Tints are done, alarm, changed domelight for a hyperwhite 9 LED "bulb".
I'm on audio for now. It's going to be a while in this stage...

After that I'm going DF210's most likely as well and some other suspension bits ti improve the handling.
Budget, budget, budget.

You won't be disappointed! I got the 6000k's and love them! Install is a cinch too!

No issue with lens meltage?

Since Oznium stopped selling HID kits due to some issues w/ the DOT, I've decided to go through Clifford at MobileHID.com and will soon have a set of 6000k HIDs. I'm definitely looking forward to getting rid of my extremely weak 7500k halogen bulbs!

so you can just swap these out with OEM bulbs and there are no heat problems?

HID's run cooler than halogen.

AFAIK you just plug your stock wiring harnesses into the ballasts and run the new wiring & bulbs to the headlights. You just need to find a place to mount or zip tie the ballasts & relay. Many kits don't come w/ relays, but the ones from MobileHID do

Im sure someone has asked before, but are they hard to install? Where did you get them from?

TunerChick (posted above) and countless other people say they're easy and it doesn't look like there's much to 'em. Installation should be as easy as I posted above. If you can change a bulb, you can do this

This is where mine are coming from:

Clifford, the owner, is pretty well known and respected, so I'm confident they'll be great

DID YOU GET THE 8000K?

No, I'm getting the 6000k... more white, hint of blue. I like the 8000k, but because they're more blue, there's more risk of getting pulled over. Plus, there's fewer lumens, which means the usable light output is less. I should also note that HIDs are for "off road" use only if they did not come on the car from the factory.

Yep, the higher the K, the lower the lumens.
I have 4300K which is what OEM use (4100K or 4300K was the most popular made by Philips and Sylvania-Osram), lights up the road well.

How much did you pay for them?

They're $250 listed on the site, but MobileHID is a sponsor on a couple sites where they offer discounts. Clifford just got a sponsor forum on my other site, YourSciontC.com, so I'm waiting to see if he's going to offer anything like that there. I'll let you know if they do

Kool. They look reliable. I want them!
