Oakenfolde,

Im not sure about the HID's but I wanna see a pic of your ride! I havent seen anybody with 5zigen sc300 on b7...

you should be able to install these in you fogs. search 'HID fogs or foglights' and see what other have done. and if or how to get around the bulb warning light.

If you mean you want to replace your headlights with these then no you cannot.
you have Bixenon which uses a D1S bulb. All you need to buy is a pair of D1S bulbs and plug it in.

[chrislane31]

4300k or nothing

[Unleaded20T]

If you are just changing it for the looks, just get a new set of bulbs in the color/temp that you want.

I got the 6k xenstar D1S bulbs from mtec and they work great on my bi-xenon headlights.

[oakenfolde]

ok that is the answer i was looking for. That makes a lot of sense now. where would u go about buying these style of bulbs?

[oakenfolde]

so..

this is what i found.

all u do is remove the factoy bulb and plug these in? that is it? sounds to easy

[Unleaded20T]

There are a lots of places. The cheapest one that i was able to find was mtec(stores.ebay.com/mtecpower) and stay away from chinese unknown brand.

They have xenstar which is the same brand that you have right now in 6000k and 8000k.

Yes, simply remove your current bulbs and replace with the brighter ones. I agree with whoever already said.. 4300k (6000) or none.

[oakenfolde]

hmmm, i was looking for something with a purple tint

[XCELR8]

i have the convenience package with the bi xenon lights.. I had these HIDs in my last car and i love love this color. i figured it would look twice as good with the headlights we have.

it would be a plug and play right.. i mean all i have to do is plug the hid in the place of the others, and mount the hardware in the engine bay somewhere correct?

just installed their kit on my wifes mazda cx-9 and it worked out awesome! she has projector headlights though. i wouldn't put an hid kit in a halogen housing.

[oakenfolde]

i had a full HID conversion kit in my last car, and it looked awesome. didnt have projector headlights.

these guys answered my question tho.. that kit wont work in our car.

[ItsThat2.0T]

It all about what you like, but I don't think headlights should be blue or purple; it's a terrible look to a classy car. Good luck though.

[chrislane31]

4300k is the BRIGHTEST, ie best output you can get. 4300k is the same as sunlight. Anything higher or lower on the Kelvin scale will have less output.

[oakenfolde]

hmm.. where can i get some 4300k D1S bulbs? all ive seen so far is 5000 6000 and 9000

[oakenfolde]

hmm i dunno well see. i like the blue tint. not BLUE, but blueish tint to the light.

what do we have in our cars right now?

[chrislane31]

Our cars come with the best-4300k

[LAS]

ok that is the answer i was looking for. That makes a lot of sense now. where would u go about buying these style of bulbs?

wait...what are you looking to do...? the link in your post are h11 bulbs, so that's for your fogs...?

so you want to replace the oem bi-xenon blub to a different color?

[oakenfolde]

the link i made isnt for H11.. its for D1S

[oakenfolde]

im looking to get a little bit different color. id like something with a blueish tint, or purple.. but not to where it will affect the light output so much. i know the more color u have the worse the light output is.

im just seeing whats out there.

i had xenon depot 6500k extreme and they were awesome on my last car, but that was a HID conversion, we already have the bixenon.. so just getting opinions

[LAS]

the link i made isnt for H11.. its for D1S

...check post #13...XCELR8 quoted you.

[oakenfolde]

oh right, i corrected that a while ago and removed it. sorry about that.

[Unleaded20T]

I went with 6000k because i like the superwhite look, at the beginning they have a blueish tint but after you go over 100hr they look super dooper white.

With 8000k you can't see when its raining, and from what i've seen in the highway higher temps/kelvins are useless. If you want performance and looks i suggest that you don't go over 8000k.

[oakenfolde]

yea i know that.. i wouldnt go that high.. the higher u go the light output goes down.

6000k might be right where i want to be.

[Bryson]

4300k or nothing

thats right! well..6000k isnt bad, but anything more is gheyyy!
