Also do your research before purchasing so you don't end up with purple lights. Hint: Bigger numbers do not always indicate better.

Yep I know haha I've seen cars with that disgusting purple color and I decided I want 7K

[Swag Swag]

I don't think they sell 7k's. I think it's 6 or 8, either one you'll be ok with, their 8k bulbs arent as blue as other companies 8k bulbs

In that case 8Ks sound terrific. How would I go about finding exactly what to buy? I see categories of "HID and Lighting Accessory" and "HID Kits", which one is right? You know I'm a total newbie with this stuff and have vaguely no idea what I'm doing- I just want my car to look sick.

[Swag Swag]

Yeah, kits in here.

And search on google, cause I think with P2 cars you need to buy the Light error code eliminator kit as well

I know of some wheels that would make your car acheive sick status. With the help of some coilovers of course.

Kay so I'll get the eliminator and then which kit? The Slim Ballast or Raptor look good.

Haha you know damn well Kalvin I in no way can afford your wheels and I can't drive in Seattle with coilovers. It would be like driving over lose bricks. Not fun.

You want the slim ballasts.

Are you kidding? That would be hella fun. Coilovers don't always have to be rupture-your-nuts-stiff either.

Thanks for the tip on the ballasts.

And as much as I wish it would be fun, I know it wouldn't. Plus I'm happy with my ride height as it is now. Just need to finish off a few things and those will come at Christmas.


Roof rack from Craigslist/VS/IPD
Spoiler is going to be the one on the 3rd link then painting it black myself
8K Slim ballast HIDS with the eliminator

Oh btw, what are all these purchasing options I have? Bulb type? HID hardness? Adapter cables? And should I bump it up to 55 watts over just the 35?

And finally Zip ties instead of rivets on the bumper connection

Bulb type, you have H7's for low beams

Check your owners manual or search google to see what wattage they are, don't get the wrong one, don't get 55 if they call for 35w

You should be good with hid kit, eliminators, plug and play for the most part

[Fin-Solo]

First off, don't touch DDM now that they are going out of business, secondly, if you put HIDS in your reflectors I will murder you.

Scored a set of brand new OEM load bars today, the only draw back is they don't have the little rubber foot things on the part that mounts to the car LMK if you're interested.

Got it. H7 and 35 watt. What about the adapter cables and hardness? And what's plug and play?

So what if they are going out of business? If they are selling I am buying. HIDs in relfectors? All I want is HID headlights....

The rubber foot things? What does that mean, can I still use them? Pic?

I am interested if they will work and look good, yes.

No they're not, idiots on merc and BMW forums are always saying that they're going out of business, I'm sure that's why they just redesigned their whole website

And Jackson I don't know what the hell your talking about, it's the same install process as any other car you just need the resistors to get rid of the bulb earning light in your car, it all piggybacks in install

Jackson, Reflectors are whats on the back of your headlight, those are not very HID friendly. You need to get those projectors if you want a real experience, rather than terribly scattered light blinding oncoming traffic.

Sorry Taylor but I don't have unlimited funds like you may think I do lol projectors cost hella and I can't afford that. End of story.
