Default New HIDs in

After having a bulb go out, I needed headlights, and the DDMtuning raptor kit was cheaper then autozone kits, so I stepped up to HIDs

Heres before with the light out. Another from a while back with both workin is in my garage <---


And here's after I got them in
First without my headlight covers second with em on

Just look up ddmtuning... 30 + shipping, very well priced

And yes, the HIDs have made a huge difference. I pretty much always drive with my headlight covers on, and I couldn't barely see anything before unless I had my fogs on, now I don't need them even with the covers. Without the covers, it's daylight

The covers also make it a bit more blue/ green, but not enough to make a big difference/ annoy you

Ok cool I'm running 8000k HID's and I like the look of the covers but I wasn't sure if you would still be able to drive at night with them on

I got my 8k hid's at ddmtuning and love them. I got the slim ballast but mine set me back around $50ish shipped. And I would say the light output is alot greater with the ddm kit
