I'm undecied. what r u using?

NCBOX

Iam just using silverstars until I go HID

dmpsk8

thats what im leaning towards. still kinda shoppin around for a good price. 9006 right?

NCBOX

yea they are 9006, I left the highs with the bulbs it came with.

dmpsk8

so whats the diff between the strainght up 9006 n 9006 xs?

NCBOX

umm I dont know the silver star package says 9006 st but I think its just a company thing but I dont know

i went with the silverstars too. they're not bad.

Max

I am running SilverStar lows and whatever they came with for the highs.

The letters after the numbers generally denote something like long life, extra bright, stuff like that. They still fit the same.

Im using 9006 12,000K HID and H1 12,000 HID.

and they have been rewired to make both turn on with the high-beam position.

anyone that rides with me complains its too much light on high beams hehe

Grime

Yeah I've got a set of 8k HIDs and they look great. The cutoff is awesome. I thought the highs were H3s though?

Baged_xB

or maybe H3 I dont remember, you will have to modify the brackets the hold the bulbs Im sure sonar did that on purpose you you wont be able to fit the tungstone rod through if you dont file the holder.

FYI HIDs in the high beam are VERY unnessary but they look great lol

SuperMario6582

have you guys running the HIDs run into any problems? i ask because their is a sticker on the side of the headlight that says not to use HID. i want to get a 8k HID setup.

dmpsk8

i thought i heard that it was burning out stock wiring or somthin? there has got to be a reason they dont want u to use a hid setup

Baged_xB

you are correct. you MUST rewire the housings to run HID, and use a certain type of harness.

I promise you will start a fire if you use the the type of harness that plugs into the stock wiring harness. you need the harness that uses the stock harness as a trigger to "click" the relay and the power and ground are used from the battery

Grime

Yeah I am running a wiring harness kit that connects straight to the battery, but I was doing that before these headlights. I had my HIDs not light up sometimes because they could not draw enough power to initially turn on through the stock harness.

Baged_xB

yea too much amperage through the tiny wires. most ballasts take between 10-20 amps to ignite them imagine that current through a 16-18awg wire

I am running a plug and play kit from Kaixen 6k and I have zero issues with it in the Sonar housings. You might have issues with cheaper ballasts but the Kaixen kits are solid. I got my kit from showstoppersusa.com -- I am not sure if they have it listed on the site but if you give them a call they will hook you up!

keoki

I'm runnin 6k in mine that I got from Mobilehid.com it also comes with the wiring harness. It's $170 shipped I believe. Check him out in the sponser forum. Tell him keoki sent ya!

Oh yea the cutoff line is crazy in these projectors. But I got the black housing with clear reflector. I don't know about the chrome housing though.

Baged_xB

what ever you do I cant stress enough DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, I promise repairs will be costly. IE new engine bay harness, which run about $1,000. DO NOT get the Cheap plug n play kits.

Thats why I sell the ones I do and refuse to sell the cheap ones.

Mine have 2 power sources.. relays...fuses. there are 3x30 inline fuses protecting the stock harness, and each ballast.

silverstars purchased. HIDs r an oprion down the road
