[http://forums.son240sx.ca/viewtopic.php?t=8545](http://forums.son240sx.ca/viewtopic.php?t=8545) Read this before buying any HID, Mr.Skinny posted it, and it’s the best HID guide ever. It pretty much sumarises that anything other than 4100K is crap, and that unless you’re running proper HID projectors, your beam pattern will blind oncoming traffic, and visibility for you will be nowhere nearly as good as real HID, in most cases it’ll be worse than your stock headlights. ---

sorry solarian i woudl disagree as would most people who actually own them not hearsay HID’s only blind peopel when they haven’t been releveled lower to stop teh new flection point. Try [www.hidplanet.com](http://www.hidplanet.com) for real answer with real data not second hand assumptions I’ll put one of my hid’s up against 1 of your halogens anyday and guarntee they will blow yours away. Don;t belive what you read belive what you see. and yah H4 kits from taiwan go for 320 easy in H4 just good luck if they last more than a year ---

Are they selling the ACUMEN HID for $300-$350? I think $300-$350 is for the Brightstar. And it mades in China. Will Brightstar HID kit come with one year warranty? > [@Doggie Dog](#): > > on the honda forums, they are going for 300 - 350 for 6k ---

Only HIDs worth considering are those that use genuine Philips D2S bulbs. ---

> [@spd-dmn](#): > > Only HIDs worth considering are those that use genuine Philips D2S bulbs. I thought the same thing, but my philips d2s bulbs lasted about one year. I’ve also had problems with the philips ballasts. I’ve had much better luck with hella and osram stuff. ---

Here’s is what he actually said… “unless you’re running proper HID projectors, your beam pattern will blind oncoming traffic, and visibility for you will be nowhere nearly as good as real HID, in most cases it’ll be worse than your stock headlights.” This is exactly why most of these HID kits are illegal in the US now… -Martin. ---

so you could put a set of 4100k in a set of 240sx H4 lights and they wouldn’t blind the oncoming traffic? ---
