HIDs

[Domah27]

Im not too famaliar with brands and what not....does anyone know/suggest which one to get for the tc?? and how hard and long does it take to install??

[05-RS1]

McCulloch is a good brand but kinda pricey. if you get the plug and play ones installation will only take 5 minutes.

[Domah27]

no need for projectors?

[05-RS1]

nope. or u can check out xenondepot.com. these aftermarket HID kits are rebased bulbs that fit ur stock headlight.

Philips is the top brand.

[05-RS1]

oh and be sure u get the 9006 kit, thats the stock bulb size if u didnt know.

How much could I expect to pay for a set of quality HID's. Keep in mind that I am on a budget and would like them to be in the 7000k output range.

[peruano85]

from the research i've done the best light outputs are 4200K and 6000K...anything higher will only have a color but will not light up the road as well...

[AirecK]

i would recommend the 6000k....
i run those on my xB and soon on my tC!!!

Anyone have pictures of the 6000k on your Scion. I just dont want to spend the money and have them look like normal lights. I know if you dont go high enough on the output they will have almost the exact same color as stock headlights. Im looking for the BMW headlight look.

i just put a set of McCulloch 6000K HID's on my car this past tuesday...i will post the pictures when i get my camera back from the shop...or i'll borrow my friends..but i gotta tell you i can see the road a lot better than stock bulbs...it was very easy to install...they dont really looke like stock bulbs for the 6000k..u can see a slight blue tint but not a lot...

Are you guys putting on the bulbs as the replacement of the OEM bulbs? Anyone here have the HID conversion kit? I want to see what it looks like compare to the stock.

[peruano85]

I have to make a correction on my post above. I said I put in 6000K but I forgot I actually bought a 5000K conversion kit for mine. I'll be posting pics when I get my camera back from service. Took me a total of 4 hrs to do the entire thing because it was the first time I took the front bumper off.

xenondepot.com right now has a great sale....i just picked up a 4300k hid kit for 379. and i think the 6000k kit is 430. check it out

[peruano85]

[xilver]

[peruano85]

xilver how do you like them?

[xilver]

i love them

[peruano85]

so far the HID kit i bought is the best thing i have on my tC besides yellow JDM high beams...

I know this thread is over a month old, but if anyone is still looking for HIDs, contact me with all the questions. Also, mccullochs are not affiliated with Phillips, so its not a "phillips mcculloch kit". Also, 6k is white with a purplish tint, if you want the best visibility, get 5k, its the closest to OEM (mercedes, bmw, porsche, audi, lexus), they use 4300k. 4300k is PURE light, no color (meaning white with a lil yellowy look, kinda like the stock halogens, but whiter). The most popular are 6k and 8k, IMO those are the best. Any other questions, contact me. Oh yeah, I can get any size and color temp for 270 picked up or 280 shipped. 1 yr warranty.

they look like normal headlights, its just they release a lot more light and look a lot better at night and in the day when theyre on
