I'm looking for some new headlights to replace my OEM halogens. I like the look of the OEM HIDs but theyre far too expensive. I dont mind the raxiom smoked headlights but I don't like the smoked lenses much, and they apparently have terrible output of light.

My first option is the black ccfl halos that I believe are the same as the raxioms, just not smoked: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...-Headlight-Kit

If those don't work out, I would look at just retrofitting my factory headlights: http://retro-solutions.net/product-l...pg1-cid94.html

Who all out there with experience with aftermarket headlights can help me? I don't want to make the wrong decision.

 

I have not had experiance with either of the above companys but Resto-Solution comes very hightly recommeneded.

Good luck.

retrofit. do it!

 

or just buy my factory HID setup!!!

 

I have spyder headlights. They look nice, and no condensation issues. I got them from a forum member on here for pretty cheap. One halo stopped working the first day I put them on so I turned the other off too.

I was under the impression that the OEM HIDs are not interchangeable with non HID cars as the wiring harness is different. No?

nope... there is a company that makes the plug and play harness so you can use the factory hid's into no hid cars.. the harness cost $100 shipped and it is plug and play!

 

You have a link to the company? I would like it for my future plans.

Thanks,
Matthew

I retrofit mine using the retrofitsource morimoto mini D2S kit.

This kit:

But the D2S required me to enlarge the hole the bulb went in, the H1 kit is a direct fit.

These are pricey but IMO they look like a great retrofit of the OEM halogen lamps.

 

Yes the raxiom have terrible output! So I had to get a 35w 5000k HID kit from retro-solutions. Have been using them for almost 6 months with no flickering or melting

 

If you still need help finding a good HID kit and some cool custom options for your car, shoot me a PM!

I don't get into headlight mods but those are cool as heck!

 

Found this site. $600 with brand new housings, $500 if you ship yours to them first.
