I am looking at buying the HID kit for my car off of ebay. But it says Certain cars might require a relay harness and or canceller, sold separately. Does a 2007 Aveo need this relay harness? Also I have read that some HID's will melt my lens? Is this kit a good one? Xentec HID Kit Slim Xenon 9003 H4 Hi Lo 10000K Deep Blue Beam Conversion Light | eBay
it dont matter if your kit is a good kit or not you can buy a cheap $30 kit or you can buy a $200 kit. if you have oem headlights i dont see it melting it, but they do get hotter then the regular bulbs if you get a kit dont get the 10000 get the 4500 and maybe a 6000, dont get the blue. and you shouldn't need the relay harness for it either.'
tell them in a message after you buy that you need a h3 bulbs and it in the 5000k. they have quite a bit more blue in the bulb then you think. the light out put compared to the 10000 and even 8000 compared to the 5000 is a drastic improvement. i had them in my truck before i sold, now they are in my golf cart. but i got pulled over by a state trooper and he said no blue light so i took the 10000 out and got 4500 and got pulled over again by another and said no hids unless its dealer installed. so i ended up taking them out and installing the regular bulbs and ended up getting projectors and just left the hids out and put them in the golf cart. Note: if you have projectors do not use the hid. unless they are retro fit. they will melt the projector lense and the dish out of the headlight because they are only made to with stand the halogen bulb heat.

no relay harness required. canceler not needed on these either. installation: remove factory bulb. plug in hid bulb. mount ballast with wires facing down preferably to allow any water to avoid connections and run off easily. plug ballast into factory connection. test. done.
Always use a relay harness... you shouldn't even be using those though because you are going to be blinding everyone. Do it properly and do a projector retrofit

Besides the fact that you will have less visibility and you will be blinding the oncoming traffic, how good do you think a 32.99 HID kit is? If that is all it cost, every manufacturer would have HID standard. These components will burn out quicker than a crackhead on meth.
Bahahah great way to put it!Quote:

So when you put this bulb in there it will scatter the beam all over the place as it is not designed for this bulb. I won't detail the difference in technology you can Google that. That is why people spend money on a "retro-fit" to place the proper projector in the housing and focus the beam properly, including the proper cutoff. So now you will have less visibility and when a bulb blows, you will be down to almost nothing.
Anything above about 4300K is useless anyway, the higher color temperatures emit fewer lumens, so your friends 30000K purple are just plain dumb. But hey have at it, looks like you have already convinced yourself.
It was a simple question on if they were gonna work or not. That was all I was asking. Not if certain people are going to be blinded. Or what direction the beams are going to shoot. Or anything. All I was asking if they were going to work in my housing and if I needed a resistor or not. Thanks for going over board about nothing. HAHA
I have 8000k hids in my car. no relay, no canceller, no projector, no melting. I was getting brights flashed at me for awhile til I did this little thing called adjusting my headlights. they will work. I would suggest staying away from ebay hid kits, ive purchased a few in the past and they don't last long. warranty or not I wouldn't buy another set. I have been purchasing my hids for www.vvme.com and have never had a single problem since.
Sorry, my bad. Yeah they will work fine as is. Plug and Play.Quote:

Good luck and Happy Modding!
It's ok, I never heard of the resistor and don't think it will work??? For the fan I was told that those don't work also.
Do not use the hid's if you have the projection ones or unless they are vintage fit. they will burn the projector lenses and the plate out of the front lights because they are only created to with take a position the halogen light warm.
resistor DONT WORK and Fan is just for sound
do not get the cheap one, they didnt work for mine. i have an 8k and an costed me $200 and they light up for half a mile lol people flash there lights at me thinking i have my highbeams on
vvme.com is the way to go for hids. I paid 55 bucks for mine and have never had any problems. think its all on sale right now to
If you're gonna do pnp, ddm, vvme, and trs/morimoto are all good brands

I've seen lots of people have great success using DDMtuning kits, and if you're only interested in keeping your low beams then a kit can be had fairly cheap. Once you get into the dual beam, the kits actually have to have a mechanical mechanism that moves the bulb in a way that it can replicate a high beam. That is what drives the price up drastically, and in my opinion lowers their reliability. The 35/55 watt kits also make a huge difference in price. The 35 watt kits should never melt anything. Once you start getting in to 55 watt, there's a bigger chance since there's so much more power running through the system. But I think either way it would be just fine.
Good luck.
