everything original come with the head light are halogen , HID is an upgrade, halogen already included in the light itself.

Is this the HID kit you guys are using? https://carpart4u.com/x-tune-hid-kit-60 ... 13504.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also: Is it just the low beams that are HID or are the high beams HID as well? I have read alot that high beam HID's require some warm up time (10-20s).

low beam and high beam is 2 different sets, so u might need 2 different set to complete the HID HI/LOW set up.

Ya, thats what I'm asking - I guess I didn't ask it right. So if I ordered the HID package, would I be getting BOTH low and high beams w/ HID or is it just low beams? And both of the HID bulbs you are using are D2S, correct?

Now here is where the fitment issues come into play - are you using your own style of connector for the bulbs or is it the standard "D" style - meaning, could I buy an OEM HID bulb (from say a BMW) and put it in, or does it have to be xtune specific.

I am referencing this

"However, most aftermarket HID kit suppliers usually end up making their own sort of connector thus no longer using the oem style D-type connector. Thus that means some HID kits out there that use these different types of connectors, will no longer be able to connecto to a standard D2R or D2S based bulb. They make these kits like that to be universal with their rebased bulbs. If you ever plan on retroing projectors and using oem products, you aftermakret kit balast WILL NOT work and you will either have to replace the ballasts with oem components or be brave and splice in a new plug and oem connector."

Oooooooh yeah. I am so in for a group buy. I have been waiting for an aftermarket setup for so long.

Put me down for a set of the black ones with the HID upgrade @ 6k.

HID is just for Low beam unless you order 2 sets then you will have high and low, the connect should fit fine and it is using H1 bulbs instead of D2S/D2R, those are for newer projector, the plug for the car should fit fine.

Is is possible to plug in any H1 bulb into the socket? This gives us options when the light burns out...

I am referring to bulb replacement due to regular wear and tear. All light bulbs eventually will burn out. When this happens, I would like the option of going to a local parts store to pick up a replacement H1 bulb as opposed to having to order a specialized one becuase the base has been modified.

H1 halogen light bulbs are always available in any local auto store.

I have a kinda dumb question what is the diffence in the 8k and the 6k. in the HID. I would like the light to look like the bmw with the bright blue, and not the ghetto blue.

the number refers to the colour temperature of the bulb. The higher the number, the more blue the light appears. However, the actual light output decreases as the colour temperature increases. Visually, it may appear brighter and more blue, but the light output is lower. Do not forget, if it is too blue, you may get pulled over, since it is "officer discretion" (I know I've abused that a few times myself when working). Ideally, you would want 4100 K, as that is pretty close to daylight white. Personally, I think that 6000 K would be enough to suit your needs. Below are comparsion of different colour temperatures:

As to the HID kit, as long as I can replace the H1 bulb on, I am definately in for a set of black HID with 6000 K bulbs, again, provided there is a solution to the DRL problem...however, based on what I have read, I believe it would be possible to wire the LED up to act as the DRL (legal in Ontario). Hopefully, someone could come up with the wiring diagram for the DRLs in our Canadian counterpart cars, since I do not recall seeing it in the service manual.

Any pictures of the black headlights (final project) installed? Thanks
