    NEW upcoming HID Retro for your corolla

    Working on another HID retro for my car.
    Except, its not for me... Its for you!

    Working with several people, ive heard want this retro already.

    Squirrel has talked with me and been interested.
    He has first grabs, if he does not accept its open to anyone.

    Retro includes:
    NEW Aftermarket Black Projector headlamps.
    NEW Murano HID projectors (very nice output and a very nice color)
    NEW 4100k Philips D2S bulbs; will cost extra for the New 5000k Philips bulbs.
    Replace VERY DIM " halo angel eyes" with a VERY BRIGHT CCFL round cold cathode rings. OR Replace with Very Bright and thick 5mm Neon Wire.
    New Hid Ballasts and ignitors (one single unit mounted under headlamps).
    Custom made Hid Harness.
    NEW 100watt h1 highbeams for the projector headlamps

    EASY installation.
    BRIGHT hid projectors lights!

    I have not made these so there is no pictures yet.

    This is for SERIOUS buyers ONLY!!
    not a cheap item.

    Bout time we had some hid projectors for our car.

    What do you guys think? :lol:

    i have the 9006 kit too and it will not work! he is putting in the retro fit meaning that it will be the real HID systems. These type aren't your standard, 9006, h3, etc. type bulbs. Trust me i don't like the idea of my kit working but these are 10 x's better with the projection and light. He can answer more questions cause he is the expert. The reason i know some of the answers because i've bugged him a lot about it :D

    well can i get replacement bulbs for the ones he is giving us? my friend has a H2 hummer and a mercedez CLK and he swapped the bulbs in both HID systems with blue and purple ones. if these retro fits are the same bulb size shouldn't they work?

    also i was actually thinking couldnt i a just use the HID kit i have on my car.... i mean my shop said he can switch the bulb size to whatever i want... all i have to do is put pay an extra $80...so could he make the head light assembly with out the HID kit?

    reminder

    hey Xbreaker...
    yes you can replace the hid capsules (d2s bulbs) they have many different colors...
    2600k yellow
    4100k white
    5000k white with slight blue
    5400k white with more blue
    5800k (6000k) white with a violet hue
    7500k aqua blue
    8000k diamond blue
    9000k violet
    10000k purple violet

    the higher up you go the LESS light you will get...i personally would stay closer to 4100-5000k
    the yellow bulbs i do not reccomend they are very pricey!!!
    i have had personal experience with the 8000k taiwanese d2s bulbs that
    www.globalpremier.com sells and they are great for those who want a little more color then 5000k and normal but not TOO BLUE...or purple...
    they look bluer on camera then in real life.
    Patsfan can back me up on this as he has the hid kit in that same color.

    Price is in the upward g's more then 1 less then 1.5

    again... this isnt just "bulb replacements"
    these are whole headlamps!!!
    WITH BALLASTS...BULBS!!!
    EVERTHING NEW....projectors and ballasts will have less then one month use!!!
    Bulbs will be BRAND NEW!!
    HEADLAMPS BRAND NEW!!!
    HARNESS WILL BE BRAND NEW!!!
    ....
    only for serious people that think our factory lights SUCK and NEED...not just want but NEED better lights!

    wow that is very expensive but i may be willing to ... the only thing is that i dont know the quality of the HID kit your giving out... i had my kit for 2 years and it's still running good....i heard people spend $400-$500 on kits and had blown out in a couple of months... since squirrel is the first can you take pics of it... i may lean more towards buying it if i see it... also there are halo rings around these? i seen the kits they have for the IS300 and those are really nice.... oh and you havent mentioned anything about making these kits without the actually HID kits. can you do it? i mean that should save like $500 or so

    I wont be able to buy the HIDs anymore. So whoever wants it, don't pass up this awesome deal.
    I bought my fog lights from DistantXtremes and he won't dissappoint. He's a great seller and trustworthy.

    What do you mean real? A standard HID conversion is probably the same, if not better than any factory HID out there. I for one don't like how the projectors kind of change colors when they bounce up and down the road. My 6500k solid blue was the way to go for me.

    HID fogs coming soon when I get the $485 including instalation.

    OEM headlamps with HIDs change colors when the car bounces because they are required by law to implement auto-leveling mechanisms in the headlamps. That way, when you drive uphill, the lights don't shoot straight up and blind someone. Instead, they angle downards to the ground. So as the headlights move up/down, you see a different part of the HID light. They're not changing colors, they're just changing positions. Normal headlamps don't move.
