Who does HID installation around here? (Cant Contact Dan)

[zero2010]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a reliable and fair price for installation of HID kit and foglights.

I contacted Dan and haven't gotten an answer for a week.

This is why I want to ask you guys whether you have another trust worthy autoshop or person that can do this for a fair price..

Thanks

Isn't that a bit too much for installing HID?

Richard himself gave you that quote ? That seems high to me !

Edit:

I just re-read your post there. $100 for install of HID headlights AND foglights or just HID headlights alone ? Because I didn't pay nearly as much as that quoted price to have my HID headlights installed by Richard. However, I did ask him for the same quote back when I planned on installing fogs on my car and he gave me the same price he quoted you (for HID headlights AND foglights install).

wow..... the HID kit costs less than that!!!!!!!!!! lol

[crono06]

N1 Auto is good. They slapped my kit on for 50 bucks.

[zero2010]

Ya, I dont no who I spoke to, but I think they are all azn?

I only said HID I didnt even mention the fog....

they said two ways to install one ways is to use fog as DRLs and another is to add relay....

and they quote 100 bucks ....

I think is kinda expensive....

crono06, do you have the contact information and address of N1 Auto?

Thanks

Hey man, if you want I can just help you install your HIDs. It's pretty easy. I'm in Guelph though.

[Soyabean]

yea, tons of members here know how to do it. Its really not that hard. Its a little more challenging and more work if you have a 04-06 since they use the low beams as DRLs but with a 07+ it is just simple pnp

[zero2010]

haha ya...too bad i have an 05 mazda lol

gonna be troublesome...

didnt even decide which way to go....do you guys have any suggestions

1) run fog as DRLs
2) relay

thanks

[stevenma188]

I ran mine with a relay. This way you preserve all the original wiring.

Hmmm so you have HIDs on all the time as your DRL's? Does it look funny at all? I'm trying to figure this one out too....

[stevenma188]

Yup, HIDs are always on. I think it looks good. Exactly like stock, but brighter and more blueish.

[mazdabetty]

Really, I guess the lifespan would be shortened significantly too? (Better buy two sets of bulbs lol)

[stevenma188]

Yes I guess the lifespan will be shortened, but I think HID bulbs will last long enough that it's not that big of a nuisance. My kit was from Imports Tuning so they are warrantied for 18 months anyways.

Plus HIDs all the time just looks dam sexy IMO.

[mazdabetty]

:chuckle true enough

Thanks!

[zero2010]

thanks stevenma188 for all the info you provide and the offer to install for me..but Im located in Toronto kinda far...=(

if you have time do you mind taking a picture of your HID in sunlight? I want to see how bright it is during the day light....

Thanks =)

+1. I think HID bulb is less than $45 from sponsor. It still cheap than Silverstar/Silverstar ultra and long life bulb that why I just use it @ DRL.

[crono06]

Not very bright at all. You only see the blue/white/whatever color you pick from the headlights, and you see no beam at all.

[dimsumboi05]

same situation..looking for an hid kit install for my fogs and lowbeam on my 2010! I'm located in 'sauga if any of the members nearby wouldnt mind helping out..holla. It'll be much appreciated! :)

[stevenma188]

^My offer stands to anyone. I can install your HIDs if you are willing to trek out to Guelph.

[JohnyGT]

I could hook u up with my guy, he'd do it for $50~60, + a perfect & clean wiring job. Pm me if interested.

[Soyabean]

is that 50 or 60 with relay and for both low beams and fog installation?

[JohnyGT]

yup, except for the fog DRL mod.

[zero2010]

does he provide the capacitor too? lol or there is another way to install it without using the cap?

[stevenma188]

Not if you want to use your low beams as DRLs.
