HID question...

[doublezero30]

ok this is probably a dumb question, but i cant find the answer so im going to ask it.

i have stock xenon lighting. i like the look of my friends 6000k HID setup in his jetta. can i just get 6000k bulbs and run them off the stock ballasts? or would i have to get a whole new kit?

im pretty sure you'll be able to run a different bulb off the same ballast.

Sure. Find some 6000K D1S bulbs.

Yes you can... D1S or D2S bulbs??? i was thinking of going 6000K with my D1S setup, but bulbs are too pricy.... i've only found the philips one.

im d1s currently, but kind off confusing and semi-hard to explain what im doing...

i PMed with HIDCONCEPTS a while back because i was looking into the ebay ecodes, which just baught off a member on here. HIDCONCEPTS told me i could run my stock xenon setup in these housings with d2s bulbs, adapters, and ignitors. this would all run me about the cost of a HID kit. so i will be looking for 6000k d2s bulbs. reason im doing this over just getting a HID kit is simply because it seems that there is a slot already in the bottem of the ebay ecode housings that will fit the stock ballast rather nicely, instead of a bulkier aftermarket one.

edit: found the phillips too, $110 per bulb. yikes!

anyone know what 6500k looks like? in terms of color....found some for $65 each, not bad.
