Installed Bi-Xenon 8000K HID Kit.

[WHEELMAN322]

My friend just installed my Bi-Xenon kit today. He hit me for $500 b/c he said the new GM's needed resistors. Does this sound right?

 

[Getwired]

Whoa. I hope that included a super-duper kit as well. Sounds pretty high, and I dunno what he''s talking about re: resistors. The pricier kits come with a harness for the connections to the battery and stuff, but no resistors... :confused2:

I know. I paid $250 installed for the kit in my Tacoma but he said the new GM's require some sort of resistors. Not sure if he was reffering to 07's or 08 but I trust him. He said the bi-xenon kit is $75 more than the regular kit and $500 is installed with a three year warranty.

So, that was for a bi-xenon kit, pro install, and three year warranty then? If so, that's probably not too bad a deal... I mean, I paid $300.00 for my kit alone (1 year warranty, did install myself :eek2. Important thing is NOW you can SEE!

WHEELMAN322,

Where did you get your HIDs done? I'm planning on coming up to NJ for the Thanksgiving holiday to visit fam. I'm in the Mt. Holly/Ft. Dix/McGuire AFB area...about 20 minutes south of Trenton. Is your friend a pro shop installer? Did he do a great job? You have my interest peaked! :drool: Post pics soon! :clapping:

I got my h.i.d kit from Pilot and they are awesome but I only paid $200 and put em in myself

did u just get lows? or did you get highs and fogs as well? i got my kits on sale for 200 each so it was only 400 for my lows and highs.

That seems like a good price. I bought my single filment HID kit for $300. I was able to get Bi for $400. 2 hour instal, at $60 an hour... I say that's a pretty good deal, especially with 3 year waranty. All my friends that use bi-xenons have always had a problem with them burining out fast... So since you have the waranty it'll be nice if you have problems just to drive there and say "fix it". I have just standart single filment HIDs. They are brighter than most people's halogen brights, so enh... doesn't matter to me. It's pretty bright in my city all the time, so I don't even know when I'd use my brights.

Sorry for the late reply....I don't visit as often as I'd like but....I won't recommend the shop that did the install b/c I do feel like I got robbed. I was in a hurry and impulsive as usual and could've had a friend do it for much cheaper a couple of days later but....I always want it done NOW.

Yeah...All of the other cars I've done was at a similiar price. I was just hard for a bi-xenon set and went to the first place i knew had them in stock. Won't be doing that again.

did u just get lows? or did you get highs and fogs as well? i got my kits on sale for 200 each so it was only 400 for my lows and highs.

^ Yep...that's the usual price for a standard kit.

Been slackin' on the pictures b/c I haven't waxed her yet. I bought another car and have been tied up with that for the past few weeks. If I don't wax it soon...I'll have it done by my guy and take some nice hi-res pics.

Thanks, but I still feel like I got robbed. It's there loss anyway b/c I usually do 6-10 cars a year and spend lots of money doing so....They'll never see another buck from me.
