Im not sure of this but I think I have HID's in my tailights for backing up. I never noticed until some made a comment about how f-ing bright they were.

 

yes just installed them this past weekend... 6000k and absolutely love them!
thats about as cheap as your gonna get... and for a real HID conversion thats dirt cheap

im trying to wait for a nice day to get some pictures

 

heres the diy i used...very straight forward

cool thanks, at first i thought that was a lot, but then i figured if i'm gonna pay sooner or later for replacing the originals, what's a little more (and then some). I think I'm gonna get the 6000Ks too sometime soon.

 

yea you will really like the way they look.. i always get out and look before i turn them off haha... kinda weird but i haven't even had them for a week yet

 

Very doubtful. I know you can get high-wattage backup bulbs for most cars (I had them in my Z - they were 27W bulbs from AutoFreak.com and were very bright). Probably you have a similar set, maybe in a plasma white or some other imitation HID color.

 

Thanks for the link drp.

 

to use OEM ballasts and ignitors.. about $250 but everything fits in the OEM spots... so $77 isnt bad at all.. yes u will have to drill a hole in the housing to run power wires from the inside of the housing to the ballast then the ballast to ignitor wire will have to have another hole...

i liked the 6000k bulbs... not annoyingly blue and not too much light loss compared to the 4300k....

but they are very blue nonetheless

 

6000k is what I'm looking at too.

 

I just got the 6000k ones myself, just need to install them now
