Good luck! Ive been trying to get help with HIDs for a year now.
Ive had to look elsewhere for help and even then I never got a straight answer.

From what I know try looking at the retro fit source they have everything you need in terms of HIDs.

I finally know what I think to get, just need the money now. haha.

I bought a 35-watt kit from DDMtuning.com a while back, but I never got around to installing it. I live at an apartment complex, which makes it a little difficult...They don't like seeing me take the front of my car apart in the parking lot.


But I'm gonna try to find some time to install it next Saturday. If I'm able to get around to it, I'll be sure to post pics/thoughts on the install and results.


I don't have the exact same headlights as you, but close. I have the Spec-D Tuning brand, while yours are Raxiom. But from the front, they look almost the same. So hopefully it'll give you some idea of what to expect

tbh its entirely possible i actually have yours. is there a way to check between Raxiom's and Spec-D's? (the lights came w/ car from previous owner)

From the front they are almost the same. The Raxiom version has a smoked face, whereas the spec-d is completely clear.

From the back is where most of the differences are. The Raxiom build is much cleaner. The LED's wires have their own exit hole, the high and low beam wires come out of the same hole into a single plug, and there is a single headlight adjustment screw that faces up.

The Spec-D has 2 screws per light that face the rear and the high and low beams have separate exit holes.

If it helps I have been running the same HID kit from hidguy and they are 100%. I've sold hundreds of the kits to customers with an extremely low failure rate. Plug and play, zero issues.

If you haven't bought a kit yet, check out RetroSolutions.com. I think they offer the highest quality, at a reasonable price, kit on the market. I've had one of their kits in my '06 Mustang GT for like 100K miles without a single issue. Just put one of their kits in wifeys '08 Miata GT and she loves the improvment.
