Re: Who makes the best HID kit?
Hope so. If not, retrofit or HIR bulbs are the way to go.

Re: Who makes the best HID kit?
sure they make lots of light , unfortunately most of it is going in other drivers eyes.

Re: Who makes the best HID kit?
The 1900 lumen HIR low beams likely have more usable light than a PNP HID kit.
Sadden, I'm trying to get the Cruze community away from PNP HID kits too. The headlight harness I made for my stock halogens works very well. Unfortunately I feel like a voice in the wilderness over there advocating for better halogen solutions. At least HID retrofits are popular and exciting to that community.

Re: Who makes the best HID kit?
Yeah , Ls1tech and gmls4.com both support pnp kits , all the mods are all over them , then i walk into a thread with output pics of quads bixenons on 50w and nobody even replies.
W.e. though , ive had a couple other members pm me and ask me more about my lights so i must be making some headways.
Im kind of an a$$hat to pnpers though.
An F350 w/ pnp kit got hir his' , hir lows' and piaa fogs the other night in my gfs ssei the other night.
When im running the quad retro in my gxp i make no hesitation to flash people with pnp kits , they actually HAVE to slow down , thats the way i like , pnp kits have dropped off here significantly in the past 6 months....
During the summer more and more people will start running them , after the first major blizzard most of them dissapear , i wonder why.....

Re: Who makes the best HID kit?
Super Duties are the worst with PnP kits, they all seem to have them (all driven by dumb kids) and they have those huge square headlights that just scatter that light EVERYWHERE.

Re: Who makes the best HID kit?

Re: Who makes the best HID kit?
GMT800 and 900 trucks are pretty terrible with glare also. Many late 90's, early 2000's Hondas (Civic, RSX) are bad also.
General rule of thumb - for cars with SHARED reflector bowls (low and hi in one physical bulb type), HID kit PnP glare will be worse.

Re: Who makes the best HID kit?
Dont buy a kit from DDM. I bought a 10000k kit. It took about a month to get to me. I installed in ok, but a month later a bulb went out. Checked it, double checked it, then checked it again. the bulb was shot. They wont give me a new one because they tested it and it tested functional, I will be buying new bulbs off amazon
