Has anyone here converted there stock headlights or conversion kits to HID? There seems to be quite a few good looking ones on ebay. Im looking for a bright blue color, like the BMW HIDs. Do any of the headlight conversions for the FDs come with HID?

turbovr6 11-22-2002 08:44 PM

none of the conversions come with HID.



Just a warning most of the HID kits are junk on ebay. If you buy a kit make sure the ballasts are made by either phillips or sylvania

works2r has a pimpin belloff HID kit... the real deal its NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE. when i get some $$$, i'll get em https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

turbovr6 11-22-2002 09:15 PM

yep the beloff kits are A1 quality. they are the only ones who make a true H1 HID kit

Yea Mitch's kit is very nice. Basically plugs right in. You don't need to hack anything. Also, it has high and low beam hid. He's trying to become a dealer last I heard but the price is still going to be around $1200.

Viper1308 11-22-2002 10:33 PM

What are some good wev sites for them? I like Rotary extremes headlight conversion that you can either have the 90m HELLAS or the HID high beam/low beam option. There expensive though.

JimmyJimboJet 11-23-2002 06:26 PM

the bellofs are pop-ups aren't they?



i don't like flush-mount :puke:

Viper1308 11-26-2002 08:38 PM

:bigthumg: Flush mount is the one you want! Then people wont mistake your car for a vette anymore!

vosko 11-26-2002 09:00 PM

belloff is popup. i like the popups

JimmyJimboJet 11-26-2002 10:46 PM

popups look sooooooooo much better during the day IMO. but the stock lighting sucks my ass https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif

i love pop ups.

vudoodoodoo 11-27-2002 07:50 AM

There are a few kits out there.

Rotary Extreme's kit w/ the HID has the best visibility. I think the flush look is OK. The price is kinda high. If you have the money and like the flush look, this is your kit!

You can also put upgrade your lights to HID w/ the stock pop ups. I've read alot of people complaining about how the stock housings suck ass. That's the reason why our car's lights suck. The beam pattern isn't good and light is scattered all over the place. Putting HID in the stock housings will improve a lot over halogen lights, but the housings will keep the HID lights from being used to their full potential.

There is a new KnightSports HID kit. It's still a pop up, but I think it comes w/ a new housing that will yeild a better beam pattern.

A member of the RX7Club is making a pop kit w/ a projector low beam and a regular high beam. It's HID upgradable. It's looking good so far.Search for "RX7even".

If I have the money, I would get the Rotary Extreme one. It's $1400 for the fiberglass housing w/ HID. $1600 if you want carbon fiber housings.

It's not plug and play though. Gotta do some metal trimming.

I'm a broke ass, so I would go w/ the stock pop ups w/ HID lights or be patient and wait for RX7even's.

exactly, damn that those lights are tight, i like the flush look but couldn't u get a smoked lens to put over it so during the day it doesn't look aftermarket? maybe if you had like a black fd, but don't they make them so the lighting is unaffected or slightly dimmer? i think that would be real nice.

93 R1 11-27-2002 05:23 PM

The lights on the Yellow car are not R-Magic lights. At least thats what Bozz performance told me.



I checked into it and the American distributor didn't know anything about them. Maybe a Japan only item?



I think they look the best

SpecialT 11-27-2002 05:51 PM

Mcullough kits are only $700CDN!!

And they're direct plug ins, not new holes!

Thought I'd throw that in!

Did one on a WRX this week!

Looks awesome! And **** they're direct plug in!!

Couldn't get any easier if you tried!!

So it doesn't matter which housings you have, just get the kit

with the corresponding bulb fitting!

Sorry, I'm a little excitable!

JimmyJimboJet 11-27-2002 06:56 PM

talking with exclamation points really gets your, ugh, point across!



i'm just going to wait for RX7even's kit. Last I heard Nick at N-tech had them and was screwing around with them. They will be the best bang for the buck IMO.

SpecialT 11-27-2002 08:30 PM

Ok, So why didn't you just share this information in the first place then?

Viper1308 11-27-2002 10:12 PM

Does the east bear kit fit right in or does it require modification?

SevenSamurai 11-28-2002 09:37 AM

Those lights on the yellow car are from R-magic. It was on their website and its something that was in "coming soon" status a couple of months ago.

I think they are. Go to the Scuriani (sp?) site. There is a big review section on head light upgrades.

BigTurbo74 11-28-2002 02:51 PM

u think they would be from r-magic since it has their logo on the top of the windshield....agreed..
