HID reverse lights

[tybardy]

unless you have rediculously dark limo tint, I dont see the need to spend that kind of money on reverse lights. Especially since they take a good 15 seconds to "warm up" and get to full intensity

who makes a good reverse hid kit? Anybody use one from DDM? how much of a difference does it make for visability?

I don't know of any kits for reverse applications, with mine I had to remove a tab from the HID bulb so it would sit flush in the housing.

I got them and installed a switch so I can turn them on any time.

Welcome to the club man! What are those... 8000K or ?

 

[tx07tahoe]

Thanks they are 6k just to match everything else.

Where do you get these? I need some brighter ones but they need to come on instantly. Anybody care to share any links?

 

[tx07tahoe]

I got mine from a guy where I live.

Mine were purchased on eBay... and there was minimal delay before full brightness was reached after being powered on, approximately three seconds. Even at their weakest brightness the HID's were still brighter than my stock bulbs. Having matching light all around my vehicle was great at night with the approach/exit lighting.

Sounds good enough if they took only 3 seconds. But wait. Were yours just bulbs or did they come with a ballast and everything to install?

 

[tx07tahoe]

Mine has a ballasts.
