The problem is I'm not a very savvy car guy. This is my first brand new car and after seeing pics on the forums and stuff, in really inspired. Everyone is talking about suspension this and that, and body kits by jdm or mugen and its all going over my head. Don't even know which hid lights to put in. So yea, I guess I want to start off with the hid lights.

To avoid extreme disappointment with the HID lights, READ ALL of the warnings about the problems with putting HID bulbs in headlights that were NOT designed for the HID's.

Well theres a couple different ways you could go with HID lights, You could just buy some halogen lights called Silverstar Ultra (which arent really HID lights, they are just brighter halogen lights).

Or you could go ghetto ricer (like me and tons of others on a budget lol) which isnt really recommended because you will blind tons of people on the road with your glare. There are three different PnP Hid kits (plug and play). They come with 2 ballasts and 2 hid bulbs with all the proper wiring.

- Single beam HID - low beam HID only. You lose hi-beam.
- Bi-Xenon HID - Hi/Low HID.
- Low beam HID / Hi-beam regular bulb.

You could google search for the cheapest kit, you have H4 lights. so make sure you get those.


OR you could do it the right way and retrofit the headlights ( i recommend getting it done because you said you werent a car savvy guy, and this includes you taking off your headlights and putting them in the over to take them then apart)

Heres a basic Idea https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...rojectors.html
