If I were to do it over I would buy the headlights without the HID kit. The color temp is 4300K, while this offers the most lumens I do not like the color. I have LEDs in the parking lights and they yellow out the HIDs. I will be replacing the kit with a 8000K 55W one. You will be legal if you get the headlights with the HID kit though.

legal?? lol.. where are you buying your new hid kit at?

 

[haks310]

Yeah the TYCs with the HID kit are DOT and SAE legal.

DDM Tuning, already coming in.

I bought my HIDs, now im gettin clears with no HID kit. mostly cuz i wanted 8000k and not the 4300k that comes with it.

so it seems like everyones or well 2 people are taking out the hids that come with the TYCs.. maybe if i order TYC without the hids one of you will hook me up with their old set?

The only problem with that would be the fact that you will be missing the wiring harness. You can still do the kit without it though, but you will not have the 4 Hi mod and your wiring might not be up to it.

I wonder how TYC managed that. They're not projectors so they must have achieved the top cutoff through some other means.

I've really got to go over to DDM. They're like 5-10 minute drive from my work. Want to upgrade my wife's car's lights.

They use D1R bulbs along with a HID reflector. Most Lincoln vehicles with HIDs use this.

Projectors use a D1S bulbs. This is what you are starting to see more and more of.
