My wedding anniversary is coming up and the wife and I have decided to spend roughly $150 on each other for gifts. But I cant decide what I want. I have a few things in mind but want more options. $150 is the limit.My thoughts-HID'sOBX racing pedalsHella horns

What about 1 rim.orI'm stumped,go with the HID'sThe big question is,what are you buying her.

i'ds say HID's..and get her the racing pedals..lol..she'd just give them to you and you get 2 for 1

put it in your Turbo-savings fund

Stebel horn, at 139dB it's about as loud as you can get.

horn blasters are awesome...i've watched the videos on their site and it's just hilarious..true locomotive horns..and get a starter kit at $300 or so..which is sweet

you know my suggestion... HAHAHA

Well I have made my choice and gone with the HID's. You should be very proud of me Keith.H4 Bi-xenon (HID high and low), plug and play, 14 month warranty.All for $145.00This is probably my last toy for the car. Except for getting rims and a paint job. I need to get into my own house now.

good for you. best investment yet to date!Great price too. Hook a brother up LOL

yea seriously..im looking at HID's aswell..im looking for anything for my car..just to do 1 mod would be nice

You could get HID AND horns if you went with something besides the Hellas... I have FIAMMs and for the 36$ shipped from Amazon, it's like a sore weiner, you can't beat it... lol... http://www.amazon.com/FIAMM-66...r=1-7

Which wedding anniversary is it? I'm assuming you aren't going with the traditional gift type (ie. paper anniversary, wood anniversary, etc)?

I'm assuming you aren't going with the traditional gift type (ie. paper anniversary, wood anniversary, etc)?It is only the 2 year anniversary. We really are not that traditional when it comes to the anniversaries, except for when it becomes the 10, 20 , 30, etc. If it ever goes that far.

Quote, originally posted by keithvibe »Way to look at the future man... I was being sarcastic when I said it. I have been with her for 5 years and married 2. I told her that I would not marry someone until I was with them for a full 3 years.

My HID's have come in. 5 days from China is not too bad. I will be installing them very shortly and I will make sure I give my reviews on them.

awesome man, cant wait too see them in ohio, just try not to blind me if im in front of ya

I got a couple pics. They are not the greatest. I could not really find a good place to take them. One of the is of course looking straight at the car and the other is with my back up against the front bumper.

Looks good!

Flippin sweet...!!! Link to the place you got them from please..!!!

how to the highbeams look?Next mod.... a new camera LOL

Opps, forgot to get shot of the highs. But they do look great. As far as the camera. It is just fine, I just take crappy photos.

SublimewindIf you go to the site I gave you ( mydepots.com ). Look at the MD01 kit. They have H4-2 which has a HID low and a halogen high. But if you get the H4-bixenon you get both HID low and high.

Thanks for spelling that out for me, sometimes i amaze myself....

If you decide to get the HIDS. Trust me and get the H4-bixenon, if you get the H4-2, you will be disappiontent with the highs.

Trust me and get the H4-bixenon, if you get the H4-2, you will be disappiontent with the highs.Check you out passing on the knowledge... Does the bulb move or does the sheild move to the highbeam possition?Didn't happen to take a photo of the kit, mainly the bulbs before you installed them?I was considering replaceing the bulbs in my kit with the biexenon's, I have to contact a few sellers to see what if anything can be accomidated to make that happen with the existing kit i now have.

I learned from the best. Neither the bulb or shield moves. It just changes over to highs like a normal bulb. I will get a pic of the bulb for you on thursday.

awesome, how much did the kit cost ya?

Quote, originally posted by WaveAction »awesome, how much did the kit cost ya?$145.00 but shipping was $30 b/c they came straight from China.

Just got some quick pics of the bulbs and highs. I can get some better ones. Like the wiring from the bulb and the shields off the bulb. Just let me know Keith.

thats awesome..all these pics are just tempting me to spend money on the car now..and it's gonna ruin my whole plan! lol

So tell me, cause it's hard to see from the pics.Is there 2 bulbs ? Or is there 3 contacts in a single bulb? (like 2 anodes and a single cathode or vise versa) Or 4 contacts in each bulb...? As most of us know a typical filament bulb has 2 positive contacts and 1 negative(common) and the filaments are in different locations causing the hi/low effect. How do they differ? Could you try and get a macro shot of the bulb possibly? I'm sorry, it's the scientist/tweeker in me, asking the questions...

I can try to get some better pics. HID's are nothing like regular filament bulbs. There is a lot more to them then what people think. They are almost like the bulbs I use every day.It is kinda hard to explain but I will definitely try to get some better pics.

Just to let anyone one know who plans on getting these.The site- http://www.mydepots.comShipping- less than a week from ChinaWarranty- 14 month from factoryInstructions- englishPrice- H4 bi-xenon $145 plus shipping, H4 $95 plus shipping

nice.. did you disable the drl feature on your vibe then? i'd be curious to know the life of those compared to a stock bulb or a silverstar.

Yes, you do have to disable the DRL/auto headlight. If not the light will pulsate. As far as how long they will last. 5000 hours. And since you have to disable the DRL and turn the lights on manual, you save alot of hours on the light.

the only reason i would not do this is if god forbid you ever get into an accident, your insurance may give you **** about having modified a "safety" feature of the car.

Like there must be 2 bulbs, as a single HID bulb cannot share a bulb as the light is created by an arc rather than a solid path like a filiment... Thanks mang
