Has anyone heard if there is any word about HID lights for the G6 yet?

I don't know someone who did a conversation with a "real" HID. I found a kit at carshop for Hi-Low-Fog, but sooooooooo exxxxppeeeennnnsiiiiiiive! I got H9 & h11 (55-65watts) with ultra-bright white, should say very blue, hum purple... looks beautiful, fir few $. Also, i'm actually looking to place a colored light set behind the beam reflector to creat a halo effect. I continu to study the inner light shape&design before drilling.

There is someone thatr has been driving around the campus of my school, Purdue, with HID's in a G6 for a while. This guy has the whole setup high, low, and fogs.

Just saw someone on Ebay selling a 3 bulb set for Hi/Low/Fog for around $50. Just don't know that the wattage is. Hear that's a huge no no to go too high over the stock wire wattage of 55. Color was 8500 bright blue. Another had a HID kit from 8000 to 15000 color range for $100.

i have a 6000k HID convertion kit ... works just fine ... bright as all hell ... had it since august ... no problems yet and it doesn't create too much glare ... $90 from ebay shipped from japan ... just the low beams ... i wouldn't recomend getting fog and high beam HID because fogs don't really do much lighting far ... they're only in front of the car and high beams are not practical because people like to flash them and it kills the bulbs ... so if you ever do get high beam HID don't flash them ...

for those who don't know ALL HID LIGHTS ARE 35W ... they're totaly different technology then regular bulbs ... there is a way to boost them up to 55W but they're not sold like that ... they're sold as 35W ...

oh and if you ever get them make sure to pull the DRL (daytime running light) fuse in your car so they wont be running constantly cuz they're bright as day

Cool, thanks for the link. I see a bunch of options on that page, what one was $90. I just looked at the EFX link and their kit with ballasts, bulbs and wire kit is $179 for a 8000K to 10000K color.

How easy was it to put in?
Is it truly necessary to pull the DRL?
How fast would they burn out if on say 2 hours a day?

Yes, we need more info

it's pretty simple to install ... you'll need to take off both headlights in order to take the stock bulbs out ... and you'll have to make (drill) a hole in the seal that twists into the headlight (you'll know what i'm talking about when you take the headlamps off) so you would be able to get the wires though it (the kit should include a rubber seal with it so moisture won't get though the hole) ... otherwise nothing else that complicated ... it's basicaly plug and play ... be careful taking the headlamps off ... they have a stupid clip thing that clicks into the fender ... i took mine off cuz it was buggin me ... so ... when taking it off you might scratch or god forbid bend the fender so be real careful ... and you'll also need to take out the clips that hold the bumper cover in order to pull out the headlamps ... i think there's 5 of them ... so be careful not to scratch anything ...

uhhh i'm not sure which one of those was 90$ because my friend got them for me ... so ... as soon as i find out i'll let you guys know ... i think it's this one though

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-CONVERSION-KIT-PONTIAC-G5-G6-GRAND-PRIX-GXP-TORRENT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36476QQihZ016QQ itemZ260203367417QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

4300k is the brightes kit there is ... so it'll give you the most light ... going away from 4300k you will lose the amount of light output ... 30000k is purple and it's dimmer then the stock bulbs ... so choose wisely ... 4300k is what OEM products use ... meaning that all the HID kits on cars like BMW and Audi and all them pretty cars have 4300k bulbs on them because it's the brightest one there is ... i have 6000k and i can't complain about it being too blue ... it has a very slight blueish tint and the rest is pretty much white ... cuz just pure white wouldn't be as pretty right? ...

be careful with the cops ... HID kits on reflector housings like G6 have usually produce glare ... G6 isn't so bad at all for having reflector housings so it's not too much glare ... i live in Ohio so cops here don't really pay any attantion to that ... oh and one more thing ... ALL aftermarket HID kits are street elegal ...

so that's probably as much info as i can give ... feel free to ask questions ... if i can i'll answer

Thanks!

I got my hids off of unique coating they were 206 with free shipping.

daygon covered the bases well.

I would certainly suggest staying away from super cheap kits, I got a cheap hi/lo kit and am quite disappointed with it. My McCullochs on the other hand are great; no complaints at all! I paid about $195 per set, but it was the best mod I've ever gotten. I wouldn't take double my money back for them to go back to stock halogens.:p

Looks awesome. What are the McCulloch bulbs? Hi/low/fog?

Sidenote, is there a scoop hood for a '05' G6 GT?

i have 6000K Xetronic HIDs and they work great

Looks awesome. What are the McCulloch bulbs? Hi/low/fog?

McCulloch is one of the better brands producing HID components currently. To clarify, I've not seen many bulbs that I could verify were made by McCulloch; usually the bulbs I've seen aren't really marked at all, but have connections specific to certain ballasts...The ballast sets are usually well marked if there is a brand name present, though.

As for Hi/Low/Fog: each bulb requires a ballast to ignite/power it (since I have HID low and fog bulbs, I have four ballast sets). H11s in the low & fog, H9s in the high...HIDs usually aren't used in the high beam spots due to the required warm-up time for them to reach full brightness.

I hope that I addressed your questions; if not repost or PM me, please.

edit 9:30 am: Yes, there is a ram air style hood and cold-ram-air-box available; as for any HP gains, I can't say...I just went with a stg 3 CAI and called it good. Here are a few links for history:

There is someone thatr has been driving around the campus of my school, Purdue, with HID's in a G6 for a while. This guy has the whole setup high, low, and fogs.

not to be off topic but purdue! I'm originally from Muncie, IN- I ALMOST went to purdue- neat

Im about to get 8000k HIDS for my high beems. Im excitied to see what two hid digital ballast hid conversion kits will do at the same time. I pay prob bout $350.00 for mine and as you can see they are just as bright at day time. :) and I'm prob going to do some neon under the driver and passanger front above the floor board and have them beat to the music? has anyone ever heard of that being done?

I'm wondering, why so much for the HIDs? I purchased some for my Mazda and they were under $100. "Xenon HIDs".
They are real "high intensity discharge" lights, the 6000 series.

Well prices differ depending on quailty, digital/non-digital, name, and overall what you want for your money. I have digital ballast boxes and you can see in plain day there bright as he//. 8000K. So i mean ya you could get yours off ebay and there like $40.00 then shipping is $20.00. Some people say that all HIDS are the same there not. There is a quality name to each HID. What you want is depending on what you spend.

What benifits do "digital" ballasts offer? You claim they're brighter...why? What is actually digital about them?

Honestly, this sounds like a scam. You aren't running your lights wirelessly or on RF, so how could these electrical circuits be digital???

I know I sound skeptical...I certainly am...but it is nothing personal. I just have never heard of the angle to call HIDs digital. The only thing I could think of is that the sellers are calling the power management system digital. But by definition the bulbs are either 35 watt or 55 watt and are either on or off. That's the beauty of HIDs [no dimming like normal bulbs]. "Normal" ballasts manage power to ensure no surges or drops occur...

Curious to see any info that is available on this.

High Intensity Discharge lights work wonderfully in hydroponic applications. Not only do HID lamps produce light that mimics sunlight more closely than light produced by other light bulbs, but it does so using less energy and in a manner that extends the life of the bulb. Any type of HID light that you choose to use for hydroponic lights will require a lamp ballast. There are three basic types of ballasts available for lamps used in a hydroponic garden: magnetic, electronic, and digital ballasts. Digital ballasts are superior to magnetic ballasts for several reasons.

A magnetic ballast is needed to control the electrical current that flows through the HID lamp. The ballast both ignites the light and keeps it lit. If electrical current was to flow into the light bulb at full voltage, the bulb would burst, so the controlling factor offered by the ballast is necessary for the correct function of any HID light. A magnetic ballast consists of one or more aluminum or copper coils that sit on a core that is made up of steel laminations. The coils and core work in conjunction with a capacitor, and sometimes an igniter. These four parts are most often built into the ballast casing.

A digital ballast offers the same electricity control as does the magnetic ballast, but with the digital model the current conforms to optimal levels of performance for each specific type and wattage of lamp, possible through digital circuitry. Magnetic ballasts weigh more than do digital ones, a consideration in a greenhouse setting, and they also run hotter than digital units. Because of the more consistent application of electrical current, the lamps last longer and function at a higher level using less power with a digital ballast than they might with a magnetic ballast. With a digital ballast, the light produced is more consistent. Magnetic ballasts, especially as they age, become more noisy when they operate, cause the HID lamps to flicker and also contribute to irregularities in the color that the lamp gives off. The digital units can also sense when the lamp is almost used up, and can shut the unit off when it is not functioning optimally.

now seeing that digital ballast last longer are very consistent and always run at optimal levels. thats what i meant by you pay for the quality so therefore HIDS do dim some but mine after having them for two years on my old car were well payed for. I have friends that bought HIDS and theres flicker sometimes and make like a misquito noise. Other than that i just think digital is the way to go and my friend has 8000k and I have 8000k and mine seem to be brighter than his why i dont know? good question on that factor but his are so much newer than mine and i have never had a problem with mine. I hope that helps

yup thats right I just bought them I will put them in friday and take pictures and post them for you all to see

What brand? I'm wondering because I want to know what kind of quality HID I bought for my Mazda. The guy I bought them from, a friend of mine, says he is a certified Xenon dealer, thats why he got them for me so cheep ($85). He also claims to sell them for $200.

the slim digital ballast that i have are xenon. There bout five quarters stacked thats how thick they are with anti flicker capacitors. here are just a couple sites for example prices vary:

www.stealthauto.com/Products/Stealth-Digital-Slim-HID-Kit__HID-.aspx

www.kbcarstuff.com/HID_Kits_s/21.htm

www.hidkitswarehouse.com/hidshop/product_info.php?products_id=64

you can look at different prices and brands stealthauto is a really good site for decent digital ballast

geewhiz are they mag., electronic, or digital? The mags. are prob the lowest costing ones out of the bunch. Don't get me wrong they work and are still bright. No HID is "bad". It"s just what you like. Its what lasts longer, more consistent, the color, and your taste. You might not even have any probs with it at all. I had mags in my old car and they worked just fine. Ever since I have gotten digital..... omg!!! So much better, they dont flicker, or make little whisper/misquito sounds when they start up. I posted a few threds up about this mag and digital thing. HIDS are my fav so I know alot about them i buy alot and sell them alot. All my friends have got a differnt kind just to see how they work and look some have a teal color pink purple blue or just white. Its all about what you like. I must say tho HIDS are prob the best creation since the G6 started coming out :) lol

Here they are.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XENON-HID-CONVERSION-KIT-H1-H4-H7-H11-9005-9006-880-881_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36476QQihZ013QQitem Z230259890269QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

They are BRIGHT, ask anyone in front of me. Although I point them down more than most.

ya geewiz them are badass. those are mag ballast without the relay harness or the antiflicker capacitors but they are good the good thing bout Xentec is you can use different kelvin bulbs and switch it up like 10000k one month and then 6000k the next so i mean HIDS are a good way to be noticed. they def. get peoples attention :) thats why i love them so much but yes those HIDS will last depending how much you drive with them on if you turn them on and off all the time and just normal things but other than that you prob wont need bulbs for another 300 hours from when you bought those. Mine will last up to 500 being digital ballast. you think that you will get high beams? i just did. ill take pics whenever i get the chance and put them up

no not high beams. I find the warm up time is to long. Besides changing the bulbs in a Mazda is a pain in the A$$. To do it right I'll have to remove the front bumber.
I asked my wife if she wanted HIDs on her G6 she said no. I might sneak them on if a bulb burns out. If I do, I'll put a bright white halogen in place of the high beam. Unless you know of a quick burning HID. The reason is when someone needs a bright light flash the HIDs are to slow to be as bright as I would like for that second.

HI! I put the HID's in my G6. I got them off ebay for about $12.00. It was a great buy, and easy to install. However, make sure that you have two sets of them, because I only have one set right now... and I put them in the high beam sockets and I really need another set. But they are great!

Not always!!! You dont have to order two when you order offline you just have to be smart about what you buy. Now in this case for 12.00 you can see why you only got one and it will prob blow out before anybodys on this G6 forum goes out. But if you DO order off ebay make sure tha you type for ex. 10000k HID Conversion Kit. Now if you just type in HID thats where you messed up. All real HIDS require ballast and you might have got one but for 12.00 i think the glory will end soon my friend.

ya well i just got HID highs and hoping to put this in this weekend and i wanna see what all happens when i do do that i think that the way im going to set it up is going to be awesome not to mention when my highs come on my lows stay on you know what that means? ALL HIDS!!! Thats right my lows are on when my highs are on. So therefore its going to be bright as hell

Could you take pics of an area that your lights shine onto instead of the lights then post the pics? That would be pretty cool!

yes sure i will post that pic here soon!!! prob this weekend.

I mean even if they dont last that long, at least I didn't pay thru the nose for them. lol. Well thanks for the tip.

your welcome if you need help finding a decent priced HID kit just let me know i will send you a link off ebay to show you a good set but for under a $100 and they will prob give you the look and be a HID that is quality for that price

I can't say some retard wouldn't sell a good kit for crazy cheap, but I really doubt you can get a good HID set for $50 or less. As far as the HID look-a-like bulbs go: please take it from me, you are just waiting your money unless all you care about is the exterior color and looks from afar. Maybe a "show" look is worth it for you, but I was terribly disappointed when I put some "100 watt" bulbs in my car. These are just colored bulbs that are MUCH dimmer than your stock setup. If you put a set of real 100-125 watt bulbs in your housings, you would be in big trouble from the excessive heat and current draw. If you are really wanting to rack up show points, save your time and money for a good set of reputable HIDs that will allow you to see when you drive home after the show is over!!!

All I know is based on the experience I've had with the four kits I currently own. One kit is a high/low H13 setup that I paid nearly $400 for that is still crap; the other three are H9, H11 & 9004 McCulloch kits that I paid $190 each for and love them all. They don't flicker or give me any problems at all unlike the no-name H13 dual beam kit I got off eBay.

Just save your time and money for a real kit...you will be much more satisfied. But if you don't believe me [as I didn't believe a decent kit could still be crap like my H13s are...] feel free to take the hard knocks yourself. Just write back and let us know how it goes! ;)

If you scroll up to the top of this page there is a link to a fair set of HIDs.

Okey dokey... I will hit you up with that when i get some more $$! lol... I'm 16, and between gasss for my 4cyl G6 (by the way, has anyone figured out the gas mileage for a 4cyl?) and other things... I dont have much money to my name right now. lol...


=]

If you scroll up to the top of this page there is a link to a fair set of HIDs.

Awesome! I noticed that steath auto offers an inline capacitor to stop flickering...there is still hope to salvage my wife's car's kit afterall.

Thanks geewhiz!!!

[by the way, the flickering kit's connections looks like all the other kits in the links; all my kits look like the stealth auto connection style. Maybe that has nothing to do with their quality...maybe the flickering is all due to being installed on a Chrysler since the antiflicker caps are specifically mentioned for "300C, Magnum, Charger and some BMW and Mercedes"]

Best of luck with your lights, guys

MPG: 23 city / 34 hwy for the 4cyl

HID kits cost around 150-300 depending on what you buy everything thats cheaper then that are probably a knock off and will not last half as long as the more expensive ones..

H11 bulbs in the fogs and low beams
H9 bulbs in the high beams

Anybody have any suggestions on where to go to have an HID kit purchased and installed? I'm not comfortable drilling into my headlight assemblies. I just want Low and High beams. No interest in changing out my Fogs.

you do no drilling when you put in HIDS there are to your bulb type and just slide in like the other bulb the only difference is the ballast but its all plug and play you can install them yourself there no brainer directions on how to put them in buy smart!

Sweet! And everything comes in a nice kit? Also, any suggestions on where to buy? Stores? Online?

So basically if I want to put in the 8000K High beams Will I have to get the conversion kit?

yes always make sure that when you buy offline or anything that your ordering them as a conversion kit it should say 8000K HID conversion kit

and just so you know if you go to ebay you can type this in to get what you want



first type in your K that you want, then type in the bulb type that your car uses then type in hid conversion kit

it should look something like this


8000K H11 HID conversion kit

then click search


now before the first thing pops up i can tell you that $24.00 hids will pop up dont buy them (there trash) from autoluminate they use xentec and it sucks

i had a friend buy them and they tend to flicker alot but if you look on the left there is a price range type say $60-$100 see what pops up always look at the seller and then click on one of the items to view the item description make sure it shows ballast and everything else is there otherwise you might just be buying one or maybe just the bulbs just make sure otherwise if you need help private message me and i will show you the kit i have on my car.

so as you can tell mine are pretty bright it also depends on everyones housing and the ballast and the type and how much your willing to spend there are so many factors in this situation

Sweet! And everything comes in a nice kit? Also, any suggestions on where to buy? Stores? Online?

Unless things have changed in the past year or two, you won't find true HID conversions [e.i. with ballasts and HID bulbs instead of colored halogen] at any US physical dealer location. The perported reason why is that the kits are actually illegal to use on the road [technically only OEM lighting is legal, even fog light add-ons could be affected].

For show and off road use only...somehow this translated, at least when I got my kits, to asian dealers only and therefore, primarily internet based sales.

just my $0.02...

Alrighty. Online it is, then. This is probably a stupid question, but after I buy a conversion kit for my low-beams, do I need an entirely separate kit for my high-beams, or how does that work? Also, I've been looking around seen some of the club's opinions on HID's, but before I buy mine, I want to ask: What temperature do you have? How much brighter are they than your stocks? And if you were going to buy a different set what temperature would they be? As for me, I think I've decided on an 8000k set, but would like some more opinions.

you will need two seperate kits one kit works for lows and the other kit you will need for highs and if you do your fogs you will need another kit. I have 8000k. They are bout 3-5 times brighter than regular stock bulbs. I would not buy a different set for the simple fact you lose alot of your light output when going to like 10000k or 12000k 8000k and lower i think are great as you can see i got the blueish whiteish lights and im not losing light output as if i was doing. and i think that 6000k should be for white cars. or at least they look good on any car but if you like the look of mine then 8000k is for you. And if you decided to do what i did and do highs and lows you need to get the same brand and seller to give you two of the same pair. This will make it to where they look like they match. one wont be bluer or whiter than the other and when your driving it will be better on your eyes i got HIDS for the simple fact that they look good and i have a tinted windshield

hey Justin could you give me a link for your HID lights.

i got the G6 sedan and i really want to change the yellow stock lights to something unique.

i want HID lights like yours Justin. could u give me link..
i have the Pontiac G6 sedan and would really like my lights to look like yours

hey guys...i am thinking of buying this hid kit soon http://www.intensehid.com/5000k.html

does it sound decent? also, should i buy the battery relay harness and/or the flicker harness that they offer??

and i know it's been asked before...but does anyone think hids are too bright for our headlights and will they blind other drivers??

Go through this forum and read the stuff, there are cheap a$$ lights out there. Do your research and it will pay off in the end.

If you don't readjust your lights height setting then, yes, they will likely blind others. I have readjusted mine to optimize coverage while balancing glare to others, and I still get the brights periodically from people out in the country...not so much so when in town as every 3rd or 4th car has HIDs here. So while misadjusted beams will blind others, the mere fact that your lights are a different color than stock halogens will also trigger people to automatically assume that you lights are too bright.

why not make an IRC server abouT G6 OWNERS

Just checking in making sure that everyone has found what they needed. If not PM me and I will help you find a good set of HIDS for your budget anything more than $50 please otherwise you might just wanna go buy some luminics bulbs for that price or maybe some silverstars. But other than that hope you all found what you were looking for.

Just wanted to leave you guys with some updated pics and videos of my car.

Ya know now that you mention it; one of the HIDs on my Mazda went out. I haven't had a chance to look at it but I'm planning to go back with a standard bulb cause access to my lights are more than a bitch. I don't enjoy double work on my cars so if I do a mod it will hopefully be for the life of the car. These HIDs seem to be a PITA so I'm going back with stock. Do you know what is a good bulb brand for stock lights? I was never that crazy about the HIDs to begin with.

ya silver star is a good bulb or luminics also check them out there both about the same price if your not looking for hids but the ballast is prob the first thing that goes out depending on what ballast you bought some fault and some last forever i have had the same ballast on my car since i put them in no problems yet

geewhiz you going to put me up for next months g6 of the month take any of the pictures that i made two post ago :)

I can do that, would you take some fresh pics of your 6 and post them in the gallery. Most of the pics I've seem of your 6 are blurry.
FYI, you don't need someone else to nominate your G6, you can nominate your own G6.:)

I Installed HIDs In My Car And The Fog Lights Work But The Low Beams Arent... I Tried The Fog Lights That Worked In The Low Beam And Still Not Working... Anything You Know That Might Make It

Chris_Army_G64Dr

This is for Chris_Army_G64Dr

I got a couple of questions for you?

Did you install the HIDS with your car battery disconnected?

Does your regular bulbs work in the low beams?

Does the HID kit work in your fogs?

Where did you get the kit from?


For starters check to see if during the install any fuses were blown.

Second sometimes when an HID is installed the memory bank in the car will show that because there is such a low voltage there that it will not power them.

Third I hope that your installing this kit with ballast

Fourth I would contact the person that sold them to you and see if there is a reason that would probaly happen

Fifth the reason that i say you might want to disconnect your battery no all people do it and sometimes they still work but it can cause the car to not power the HIDS

Sixth did you let the HIDS turn on for 10 min? This is to get the HIDS set up to your car and get used to them

seven check all your connections again and make sure everything is tight

eight try using a voltmeter on the plug for the bad headlight. Turn on the ignition, and turn the headlight switch. If the voltmeter shows no current, then either your switch or the wiring leading to the headlight has gone bad.

nine check your dimmer switch just to make sure that its ok

ten not going to lie replacing the switch is going to be bout $120 i think it is

eleven your ballast might be faulty but if they work in the fogs they should work in your lows so do all these steps and let me know




Do these steps then tell me what all happens and maybe i will be able to assist you further. Thanks Geewhiz.

I Installed HIDs In My Car And The Fog Lights Work But The Low Beams Arent... I Tried The Fog Lights That Worked In The Low Beam And Still Not Working... Anything You Know That Might Make It

Chris_Army_G64Dr

Replace an OEM low-beam bulb to make sure you're getting juice where you are supposed to be. If not, check your fuses [may need to pull your DRL fuse, but I don't think this would keep your low beams from working even if blown]. If you are in fact getting power, switch your ballasts with one of your fog sets. Keep working backward elimenating possible problems specific to your kits until you find the problem.

Hey guys just thought i'd share this with you... this company makes very nice HIDs. Also they do custom halo headlamps for any car even if its not on the list. the place is called Advanced Automotive Concepts. www.aacstyle.com

I was thinking about getting 2 sets of cool blue 8500K lights for my lo and fog. Any thoughts? What is stock for the G6? Would they be brighter?

the hids that have an odd number like that 8500 4500 6500 are not usally the the ones i would choose most hids are an even number

3000k yellow
6000k crystal white
8000k blue/white
10000k blue
30000k purple/pink

those are the colors that you will see mostly in most peoples cars and you buying something that says 8500k if it was me i would not do it

ok question, i got a set of HID 8000K for my lows and my fogs. anyone know how to do it for both. someone told me that the HID bulb might not fit in the fog covers. any ideas?

ive been reading a lot on here and decided to join...i thought i was a member already...but check out ddmtuning.com for your HID They are the cheapet around. I have my lows and fogs done. next will be my highs for when i get flashed...lol

Welcome aboard huerosd!

ok i had the same issue with my fogs when putting hids in all you have to do is file some of the prongs down that are on the bulb the longer prong needs to be filed down on the right side and one of the smaller ones on the right side also other than that when you do that it should fit

I didn't have to do anything on mine. Everything was plug-n-play

all kits are made different some are plug and play some had mods some have relay harnesses (which dont usually need to be used) and some cost $10 and some cost $400 i mean everything is different other than that one kit fit perfect and one kit i had to modify alittle but the kit i got in now i did nothing to but when i had the 3000k in i had to modify it alittle

no drilling or anything? I have heard that the fogs are hard to get at and you will need to take off the bumper cover to access it. Also where is the best place to mount the ballasts?

no you dont have to take off your bumper lol just take the splash guards off the bottom of the front end. then you can see the fog light from underneath under there and depending what kit you get might or might not need mods done during the install. but you worry to much for now you have not even tried to put them in yet H11 is the bulb type that you need to get so if you got those then i would not worry until you get them at your house and ready to install

I ordered mine 3 days ago low beam and fogs and just got mine kit yesterday from http://www.sparkhid.com, install it today, man what a big difference. LOVE THEM, WILL EVER GO BACK TO HALOGEN BULBS. Nice, Bright and clear. can see all the pot holes and speed bumps ect....

good buddy glad your having a good experience with your new hid kits!!!

dont forget to check out http://ddmtuning.com/hidkihidbuhi.html for your HID kit. The 35w system is only $65 with a lifetime warranty. You can upgrade to the 55w system for $15.

checked the site out and these seem like they are decent enough....does anyone have them??

HID'S IN HALOGEN HOUSINGS ARE ILLEGAL!!! Seriously, respect other people on the road!! That is all I am going to say!! They are illegal for a reason, do some research!!

checked the site out and these seem like they are decent enough....does anyone have them??


I have them...they are good...no problems so far.

55w 12000k in the lows
35w 10000k in the fogs

I did some looking around, it will have to be a custom job to get HID projectors in the G6's headlamp assembly. I agree that HIDs in the G6 stock lamp assembly speads the light out too much and does cause me a little discomfort when one approaches; Unfortunately that is not a deturant. Now, behind the wheel of the HIDs is cool! You can see everything, even the driver of the oncoming car fliping you the finger.:D
I guess what I'm saying is although its illegal, untill the G6 gets HID projectors people are going to use HID lights without the projectors.

I have another car that has HID light projectors but the light IMO is still to spead out. I'm thinking of getting a used headlamp assembly and modifying them to suit the effect I want.

Sometime in the next year or two i will try to custom fab up a head lamp with projector head lights!! I need some money first, but someday!! The projectors might spread the light, but the difference is that halogen housings scatter the light, Completely Different!!

i like mine! Im never changing the housing for my headlights. By that time ill prob have a newer g6

http://www.sparkhid.com told me that its ok if you go 4300k or 6000k in halogen housing. Or you can get a reflector shield so it wouldn't glare.

Well to tell you the truth, i have never heard of a reflector shield, maybe there is something but i would guess they just wanted your money!! Economy is down the crapper right now and businesses are hurting too so they need business too!!

Well to tell you the truth, i have never heard of a reflector shield, maybe there is something but i would guess they just wanted your money!! Economy is down the crapper right now and businesses are hurting too so they need business too!!

The reflector shield is placed over the bulb. If you look into the headlight housing, the stock reflector shield cover the stock halogen bulb to reduce glare.

Here is a link to a lot of HID information;

http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html#oemkit

thanks geewhiz thats a cool link for everyone to look at!

Amazing Post geewhiz, Brilliant Find!! For anyone with questions about headlights that website will probably answer your questions!!

You peeps that have HIDS post pics!

Does Anyone know how to install the HIDS on a 2005 G6? Can someone lead me through cause i just got a pair.. thanks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvhDGMUV4pg


Will show you how but you will not need a relay harness. The relay harness is for dodge, chrysler, and some other models but G6's do not need this part. Otherwise this shows you how to do it.

Take your headlight out.

mount your hid ballst box somewhere.

remove old bulb put hid one in

plug wires from bulb to wires off of ballast box

plug oem harness into ballast box.

do both headlights like this before turning them on because you have to let it do its warm up of 10 min to make sure that the hids are properly broken in (note: if you turn them on and then turn them off for the first time it could shorten the life of the hid so make sure this step is done)


then you have some hids!

http://www.familycar.com/roadtests/PontiacG6Coupe/Images/Engine.jpg
So do you just take off the front 4 screws on the black part where it connects to the headlights? and then what

Yes the headlight black pieces that connect to the headlight those screws taken out. Also, see the little black fasicas for the front end piece? those 6 things have to come out as well when you have all that removed just pull on the headlight. its going to seem like it dont want to come out but be careful and pull the outside of both headlights have a piece that stick into the body that you have to pull for it to pop out. once you get the light out you will see what im talking bout

I think matt uses!! "!!" to much!!
Looks like your always YELLING!!
LOL

Im planing on the same thing buying a spare set and doing the whole housing.
I could care less if someone else has it or not. I would do it without the projector but with my luck i would get another ticket to add to the list.

I got all mine done I love HIDS!!! sorry for yelling

I think matt uses!! "!!" to much!!
Looks like your always YELLING!!
LOL



WHAT!!:D

lol

Contacted Sparkhid.com to took me up with another set of HID kit for my fogs, is it hard to install the kit into the fogs?

Sound like a question for "JUSTIN!!"

underneath the front end is the splash guard right under the fogs you need to remove this. There should be little black fasicas holding this splash guard in place. Once that is removed just follow the step above in this forum and its all the same after that. I have already posted those steps. If you have any other questions please ask.

Note: The best place to mount your ballast box i have found is on the inside on top of the splash guard. Reason being if your ballast goes out you pull three black fasicas reach in there grab it replace it then put it right back. That way you dont have to take all those things again. Also note that since your putting some HIDS in your fogs you need to post some pictures when your done :).

thanks bro

your welcome the easiest way to do it is pull it up on some wheel ramps and then go under so you have room to work.

Can't you get at the fogs from the top when you are doing the lows? I thought someone said that before. or is it just easier from the bottom?

ya if you wanna reach all the way through the car it is way easier to do it from the bottom i have never attempted to do it from the top. Even in the G6 Manual it says from the bottom just read fog replacement in your manual follow those steps with the youtube vid that i had posted above to install your HIDS

I just spent an hour trying to install them. I don't think they are plug and play.. the wires that provide the power to the ballast has two prongs, but i do not know where those prongs fit because it does not fit into my factory harness that powers my head lights....do you have any specific directions for installing them on 2005 Pontiac G6. secondly the factory wires for my highbeams and lowbeams and turn signals are fitted into the one factory grommet. so once i install the HID bulb, i have to retrofit the wires so that it just pokes out the side of the factory grommet because it is impossible to cut it without losing my highbeams.... any suggestions??

those two prongs should not fit all the way down on the oem harness they should just be able to be pushed in there. http://www.xenonpros.com/images/install.gif

in this picture when you click the link the two prongs are where it says connect to stock harness right??? if they are just prongs you need to get some slip on rubber covers that will slide over the wire and after pushing the prongs in there pull them down to snug the plug.


here is another if this is what your kit looks like.

http://www.globalpremier.com/connectingjacksinstruction.html

Hope this helps if it dont then take pictures and give me a layout of your hids so i can walk you through it i will number parts on your pictures and tell you how to install them also take pictures of your g6 after you pull the headlights off so i can see it.

another thing please dont touch the bulbs cause if you did then you prob just took half the light out of them.

I didn't get a relay harness because people said it isnt necessary for the g6. The wires that provide the power to the ballast has two prongs, but i do not know where those prongs fit because it does not fit into my factory harness that powers my head lights.. Is there anything I could cut off that would make it work?

the tip of those prongs should fit into the wire harness that comes for the headlight. Not all the way but they should go in just to check put it in turn your headlights on if they work leave them on for ten min then turn the lights off and find some tape of a wire rubber cover and put over the prong where it goes into the wireharness to cover the metal. Post pictures if you can to show me what your talking about

okay ill try to post pics tomorrow.. Is it okay if i just do one headlight at a time and then turn them on? or do i need to do it to both and then turn them on?

one at a time is fine just make sure that the bulb is on for 10 min before you turn it off again then once this is done then you dont have to do it again next time you plug them up.

yeah.. the ballast harness wont fit into my factory harness and the prongs wont fit into the factory harness either. I dont know what else to do. Everything else is fine. but anyone have ideas on what to do? Should i just go to a pro? but i dont know if its worth the money because where i live is very expensive to install

Wait so is the H11 the bulb right? which means the harness is for the H11 kit right?

does anybody have pictures of 8000k low beams with 3000k fog lights?
im buying a low beam kit and a fog light kit soon and am torn as to if i want both the same color (8000K) or the low beam 8000k and the fog 3000k.
and i planed on ordering from xenoneyes, any body else ordered from them? any problems?

yes it should fit if you bought the h11 kit thats for the low beams and the fogs

your welcome and yes they cut through fog really well and help light up the road on the ground off to the side as well def a good choice they kinda look like a lexus when your going down the road

they look and work really good!

Hey justin. Is it okay if I have duct tape over the bulb cause like the hid bulb is loose inside so i had to tape it across like this.. Is this safe?
http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww27/asong10/100_1333.jpg

also, is it okay if i retrofit it? cause i dont want to drill a hole through the cap from the low beams. What did you guys do?

so your telling me that the bulb will not just screw turn into your headlight??? And you asking if you can do a bunch of modifications that you dont need to??? I'm being serious about this I think you should get another kit there plug and play you should not have to do any of that. I have never seen anyone have to do that. www.xlsperformance.com send them an email requesting HIDS your bulb type and what K you want then tell them your email for your paypal account and they should send you a invoice make sure to ask them for the $109 shipped invoice this includes shipping. Im sorry man but you could have moisture in them headlights if the bulb gets loose. Not a good idea if you dont want to replace all the other bulbs.

Would it be okay if i just get new bulbs and keep the original ballasts? also, how did you get the wires through the hole? like i had to retrofit my wires to the hole in order for my highs to work and my turn signals.

well the ballast are supposed to work with the bulbs and so you get new bulbs they might plug up a different way. and you retrofitted your wire for your turn signals to work??? what did you do exactly? just wondering cause from what it seems you bought a kit that was not just plug and play and was alittle harder to understand if I could come to your house I could probaly install them for you. Hey do me a favor lay out your HID kit and post a pic. and you ordered the H11 kit for the lows and fogs right???

Hey justin the xlsperformance site links you to a motorcycle site is that the one?

you should be able to select car motorcycle or truck look for those three pictures then select car. they also have other things besides HIDS so check them out!

!

Thought you went MIA!

nope just got really busy lately lol im back in PA now working ha ha anymore questions bout HIDS?

how do i make a new tread? im a bit noob about forums

Just installed the ddmtuning HIDs so far very happy easy install and look great thanks to this thread for all the help!! Now i need to update my car thread been like 3 years LOL

yup yup you need to hey daniel do you live anywhere near peoria or springfield IL?

I would say I'm about an 1 1/2 hours away From there if im bookin LOL

well i might be going to IL sometime to visit some family we might have to meet up and take a couple pics!

That sounds good i know of a couple other people around me that would be interested. Were trying to set up a meet for the future and a dyno day.

heck ya im down when ever my company lets me use my hard earned vacation days then i would be crusin past your way so i could stop for a day and chill and we could do all that stuff

<<< See that REP button right there below my pic you should click it if you like how i help you out in this post. Thanks for anyone who does! Its very much appreciated!

for anyone who needed the link where i get my HIDS

i think last time i just typed in xlsperformance.com and it takes you to another site this is now the correct site above. :)

I have the 6000K HID lights installed on my 2005 G6 GT. They are very bright and I get flashed every so often by other cars. Cops are not a problem at all here in Michigan (even the state cops pass by with no issues!). The only problem I have with the lights right now is that when the weather drops to 40 degrees or below (like when winter approaches) the passenger light has trouble turning on. If I want to drive with it on, I need to manually turn the lights off and on several times before the HID bulbs stays on. When winter is over and it starts to warm up again, the problem goes away. Has anyone else experienced this with their HID kits??

ok so your kit gets cold and has a hard time warming up. cold starts for hids happen often tho i do not have that problem cause when its snowing outside i just remote start my car and the engine acctually warms my kits up. all i could say is mount your ballast where your engine car warm them up but not make them to hot in the summer either. good luck

where exactly did you mount your ballasts. not seein a lot of room in my engine compartment. lol

when you take out your headlights there is a large metal beam under each one its look like a crumple support for the frame (not sure the exact name) but it can go on top of that with no clearance issues when putting the light back in.

ya like daniel said when you take the light out and look down into the engine compartment you can set them down in there and the wires will reach the headlights for installion.

Installed :) Thanks for the info guys! Will have pictures up as soon as wrangle up my buddies camera again.

sweet dude! im sure that you enjoy them right! they give the car a much better look!

Hell yeah I do. Totally worth the investment. I just went to the local pick a part place and nabbed a 2nd set of headlamps, between me and a couple of friends gonna try and fab up a actual set of projectors. Might be crap might not be, but thats part of the fun!

i just bought a HID kit on ebay today, does this look like a good kit or did i get robbed? ebay # 260429620273 :confused:

So, say I was wanting to buy a set of two light bulbs that claim to be 8500K HID blue headlights. It is just a set of two bulbs that say no kits or extra wiring required. Is it just as simple as replacing the stock ones with these ones and get the cool blue light that it claims to be is there more to it? It says installation takes no more than five minutes. And no, it does not exceed the 55W limit I have heard about. Here is a link to them if you have time to look:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-8000k-BLUE-WHITE-HID-XENON-H11-05-08-PONTIAC-G6-G-6_W0QQitemZ250411550913QQcmdZViewItem

All help appreciated!!

Roberts5831 they are wanting to much for that cheap kit!

http://www.xlsperformance.com/about.htm

ryantimm there referring the 8000k as the color of the light output even tho its not a HID other than that i mean the bulbs are legit 55w stock cool blue bulbs not bright as HIDS but will give your headlights a bluer look

hey new on the forums.

I actually just bought a 09 GXP g6 and wanted to put blue lights in it myself! :D and i was reading up on the HID lights so far.

Ok but I want to get blue lights for my fog lights on headlights (matching colors right?)

Now I was reading someones post and they said they bought these ones: http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p=product&id=101&parent=60

I was gonna buy the 10,000K blubs (55 watt, now besides doing 35 watt the light blub will still be blue correct? or is it gunna end up being white/clear now?)

Now I went to this web site to check out what light blubs are in my car:
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide/default.htm

Low beam headlamp
H11
H11ST Silverstar High Performance Lighting: The Whiter and Brighter Halogen
H11XV XtraVision Halogen - The Brighter Light

High beam headlamp
H9

So This is what I dont understand... do I need to buy four different HID kits? or do i just replace my headlights because the blub is so bright i wont need my bright lights installed either? But still what about fog lights plz.

2 for both regular headlights
2 for both brights
2 for both fog lights.

I just don't wanna mess up... haha as you can see!

By the way,
thanks for helping me out :o

I couldn't bring myself to spend the money on HID's but I did purchase some Luminics Xenon 5150k white headlights (high and low) and fog lights and WOW what a difference! I purchased xenon white lights for the rest of my exterior bulbs, the reverse lights are the ones I noticed the biggest difference in, but they all look good! Got a pretty good deal on all my exterior lights @ http://www.automotivelightingusa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1020

PICS IN GALLERY!!!!

Sorry for the stupid response, but what lights can I get at Canadian tire to replace my standard bulbs for fairly cheap, but are not HIDS, that would be too much. I do want them brighter though.

PROGZ- to answer your question you do not need 4 kits lol

just three

1 H11 kit for your lows
1 H11 Kit for your fogs
1 H11 kit for your highs (if you decide to put them into your highs)

you want the 35W HID KIT

1 kit = 2 ballast and 2 bulbs


any other questions please feel free to send me a pm or ask another question on here

sorry for the late reply i have been working alot!

Alright thanks. Yeah I haven't pick up my gxp yet Im waiting for the insurance check to come in :-/

then I'll end up buying the lights then showin you guys..

great bud make sure that you post pictures!!!!

EAT SOME CARROTS- now to answer your question you could get some sylvania bulbs the super bright at advanced auto parts or walmart lol but thats about as bright as your going to get without hids

Sylvania has not started making their brightest light bulbs for our G6s. I suggest the Luminics bulbs, they are brighter than the Sylvania bulbs (4500k) to the Luminics bulbs (5150K). Pics in Gallery.

'need to watch your facts...brightest bulbs will be around 4000K; higher numbers on the chart only means that the tint goes from white [4kK] to blue [6kK] to purple [8+kK]. Power is still the same, so brightness, aka: lumen output, is reduced due to the tint.

Purple is cool stuff 'til you get it out on the highway in a rainstorm---I'll take white myself and be happy seeing well and getting bright-lighted dusk til dawn over just looking sweet...

Hey there genius, I am reporting the facts that LUMINICS the manufacture posts. They say they are 5150k and they are definately white. THEY ARE IN MY CAR! Also there are pics in the gallery that show they are white! I live in PA where you have to use white lights!

im in PA for work right now in the Lancaster area and my lights are not "white" and my windshield is tinted and there are a bunch of people with turbos around and stuff like that i never get into trouble

two things tho


jsholli you are correct about the lights being the brightest at but they are considered 4300k and are pure white white

calsGTP you are correct also there bulbs are 5150k but without ballast they are not really HIDS

so therefore you both were wrong at some point.

cant we all just get along you both stated facts and opinions but some of the facts that you were stating were wrong but hey thats what forums are for right lol

I never said mine were HID; I was giving an alternative to HID. As far as your lights and window tint goes, your car has to be registered in PA for it to be a problem and they are secondary violations (you have to get pulled over for something else first to get in trouble for them.) I get along, just straigtening things out.

i think jsholli was thrown off because of the k at the end of 5150 because those are usually the hid code for color and brightness they are i bet if you would of said bright luminics bulbs he prob would of said nothing.

and yes im from TN so i dont have to register my car here otherwise i would not make it through inspection.

where at in pa are you located im staying in Lancaster right now

Hi, Crazy J! I, too, am in the Lancaster, PA area. Just got my '05 G6 GT a few weeks ago. It's my first "personal" car in 20 years (had 9 mini-vans over 16 years as "work" vehicles), and I'm lovin' it! If you are still working in the area, I thought it would be great to meet up, mostly cuz I want to check out your ride! Besides, your enthusiam is contagious! I've already started a wish list of "improvements" I want to make, once I start working again, and would like to bounce these ideas off of you.

Has anyone heard if there is any word about HID lights for the G6 yet?

HID Lights is High Intensity Discharge. It provides three times more light on the road compared to Halogen Light Bulb (http://www.lyco.co.uk/).

E Daddy O well yes then we do need to meet up!!! Im in Lancaster and still here. Let me know when your able to hang one night we could take a couple pics! I work in the Greenfield area exit but stay in Lititz. The park city mall would be cool to hang if your interested?! Just let me know bud.

Sounds great, Justin. How does your schedule look for THU PM? And is there a way to send you my contact info (cell, e-mail) without it being shown in a public forum?

click my name then alittle drop down comes up just go to send private message to Justin. Once you do that just type your cell in there and i will call you asap. I will be on Manheim Pike this Sunday. We have a Lancaster County Customs car club that hangs out down there. Your welcome to stop by. Take 30 W till Manheim get off the exit go down and right when you go through the light where Wee Bee Audio and Video is two building down on the left is the hangout on sundays starting at 7pm ending when everyone leaves lol

God I don't want to sort through this thread, someone want to give me the skinny :p

Ok first of the Brightest color would be 4100k (pretty much sun colored), the brightest white is 4300-5000k.

Any other questions?

I just got done installing my 3 8000K HID light kits!!!

Fogs, highs, and lows are now upgraded!

Here are a few pics:

looks good man!!!

How hard was it installing those Xentec?
I saw them on Amazon and was thinking of finally putting them in my 07 lows.
I don't have much experience with headlights.

Fairly easy to say but honestly it was a pain in the arse. It took me 3 hrs, but i did all the lights (fogs which are a piece of cake, hi and lows) The hardest part is getting the rubber sealers to fit in the holes. Take a look at this thread Justin gave me. It made a lot more sense once i read it. Its on a different pontiac (GTO) but its the same concept.

http://www.gtoforum.com/f42/installed-my-hids-how-inside-soon-18789/

Thanks for the tutorial. I'd probably mess something up removing the coolant pipe or drilling stuff. Anyone happen to know of a place near Dallas to get an install done?

In the G6 you dont have to fool with any coolant lines or any garabage like that. Just follow the directions where its showing you to drill the holes and stuff. Its not really that hard. The hard parts are getting the rubber seal thingy into the holes and if its your first time taking the headlamp assembly out. Other than that its icing on a cake.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention this, but when your plugging in the connections, match the black with the black. Black is neg(-) and purple/red is pos(+)

i like that james is catching on! maybe a sidekick haha?

i like that james is catching on! maybe a sidekick haha?

I was totally clueless about these HIDs at first. When i opened the box the first thing i said is WFT? lol

I used that thread to get them done and it was simple. Just took a while for a first timer HID install. 1" hole in the center and a 7/32 bit is all you need.

Hint* use a 7/8's drill Bit or 7/8's Hole Saw

I used a dremel because i dont have a collection of hole saw bits. I used a 7/32 bit for the smaller hole. Wires fit nice and snug.

You can use a dermel, a 7/8 drill bit is like 2$ I got a hole saw(20$).....But than again i install kits quite a few time a week so it was well worth it

I gotta say the hardest part is getting that rubber seal to fit into that hole. Pain in arse! I thought removing the headlight was tough but man that took me a while to work those in but it all worked out.

On those kits is the elictrical concepts or mounting difficult. I know absolutely nothing about this and am afraid instalation will defeat me.

it wont look at the link for the installion and the concept is the same expect you dont have to take anything out but the headlights and cut the hold in the headlight thing to put the rubber seal in. other than that no other parts are to be removed or anything like that

I gotta say the hardest part is getting that rubber seal to fit into that hole. Pain in arse! I thought removing the headlight was tough but man that took me a while to work those in but it all worked out.

Hint Number two WD40 or silicone glue(it will be slippery at first)

Back on topic *cough* *cough*,

So Mr. HID Specialist, why are my HID lights (just the lows) strobing? Its not a flicker because its going too fast to be a flicker. Its like a vibrating light. They never used to do that but i've tried pulling the DRL fuses and didnt help. When its 60 degrees or more outside they are nice and steady but now its geting into the 30's and 40's and after the engine is warmed up and lights been on for 5-10 min they have that "vibrating" effect.

Any ideas??

So Mr. HID Specialist,
A nick name YAY!! :cool:
Why are my HID lights (just the lows) strobing?
Hmmm.... Lets read more
Its not a flicker because its going too fast to be a flicker. Its like a vibrating light.
Established ....
They never used to do that but I've tried pulling the DRL fuses and didn't help.
This wouldn't help, DRL(Day time running lights) Usually just run the headlamps at low power (6-9v) So if that was the issue they would flicker or be fine(some of the better kits can run @ 9v) or just not come on(cheaper kits)
When its 60 degrees or more outside they are nice and steady but now its getting into the 30's and 40's and after the engine is warmed up and lights been on for 5-10 min they have that "vibrating" effect.
Which is weird since Ballasts like to be cool.

Some questions I have for you and possible solutions

1.Do you have your fog lights on as well?
If so the current draw might be to much.

2.How is it wired?
Are you using any relays? or is it getting power from the the stock location?

3.Have you swapped the low beams ballast for another?

4.How old is your car?, Do you have any other High current devices?

5.Does it make a high pitched whine when they are"strobing"?

It may just be that the kit's you have are not the best quality.... I mean you been through one ballast already. Have you tried contacting them to see what they say?

IMHO this needs to be fixed ASAP strobing lights can = a quick pull over and a nice hefty fine
Any ideas??

I'm finally reading through this thread guys, So bare with me
the hids that have an odd number like that 8500 4500 6500 are not usally the the ones i would choose most hids are an even number
3000k yellow
6000k crystal white
8000k blue/white
10000k blue
30000k purple/pink
those are the colors that you will see mostly in most peoples cars and you buying something that says 8500k if it was me i would not do it

They also come and Green,Red and you forgot 4300K, thats is what 90% of cars that come factory equipped with HID's Use

no you dont have to take off your bumper lol just take the splash guards off the bottom of the front end.

Then you can see the fog light from underneath under there and depending what kit you get might or might not need mods done during the install.

But you worry to much for now you have not even tried to put them in yet H11 is the bulb type that you need to get so if you got those then i would not worry until you get them at your house and ready to install

Yup srsly just take out some plastic pins and yo have acess, park on an incline or use a jack or ramps.

Also try to mount them to the frame

HID'S IN HALOGEN HOUSINGS ARE ILLEGAL!!! Seriously, respect other people on the road!! That is all I am going to say!! They are illegal for a reason, do some research!!

In some states there is a nice Lil loop hole, Like in mine, The big issue is the requirement for White or sun like Light.
Also if you re aim your Headlights down a bit and dip the left headlamp (PER D.O.T regulations). You will be fine and so will oncoming drivers.

But HID's are no more illegal than Fart can mufflers or air intakes or the countless other mods that can be done to a car.

And believe it or not most aftermarket Projectors are still not Legal. But I would suggest you upgrade to some for better light output and control.

Sometime in the next year or two i will try to custom fab up a head lamp with projector head lights!! I need some money first, but someday!! The projectors might spread the light, but the difference is that halogen housings scatter the light, Completely Different!!

if you do use Accura/inffinty Projectors(junk yards are your friends)

http://www.sparkhid.com told me that its ok if you go 4300k or 6000k in halogen housing. Or you can get a reflector shield so it wouldn't glare.
The Reflector shield is simply a metal place over the arc area of the bulb., But honestly in newer cars the lack of a cut-off is more than an issue than glare.
Bulb with glare shield
http://www.aape.biz/File/Product/S4031.jpg

'need to watch your facts...brightest bulbs will be around 4000K; higher numbers on the chart only means that the tint goes from white [4kK] to blue [6kK] to purple [8+kK]. Power is still the same, so brightness, aka: lumen output, is reduced due to the tint.

Purple is cool stuff 'til you get it out on the highway in a rainstorm---I'll take white myself and be happy seeing well and getting bright-lighted dusk til dawn over just looking sweet...

Yes and No

4000k would technically be right.

But they are usually 4100 or 4300K

im in PA for work right now in the Lancaster area and my lights are not "white" and my windshield is tinted and there are a bunch of people with turbos around and stuff like that i never get into trouble

two things tho


jsholli you are correct about the lights being the brightest at but they are considered 4300k and are pure white white
calsGTP you are correct also there bulbs are 5150k but without ballast they are not really HIDS

so therefore you both were wrong at some point.

cant we all just get along you both stated facts and opinions but some of the facts that you were stating were wrong but hey thats what forums are for right lol

This would be the color of the sun really....... Not white, 5000 is White.

YES I was vary bored this evening, I only answered questions I felt that were unresolved or not 100% accurate. Well anyway back to the other thirty or so forums I'm on.........

Oh Btw

I'm working on Some HID reverse lights for the G's I have had a few request for them from customers lately so I though I would see if I could make a custom kit for you guys.

All I need Is my friends G now LOL


DONE :beer:

Reply to mjgonegm:

1. Fogs on or off still the same problem.

2. The kits are using factory harnesses.

3. No i have not switched ballasts. I only have five and the fogs are lighting just fine.
4. 07 GT. Nothing else other than stock electronic parts (of course i have the HID kits)lol.

5. As far as the wine, i do know what your talking about but i havent looked in there since i put the HIDs in so i dont know if its making the noise. The only time i heard that noise was when i had it all torn apart and turned them on for the first time it made that winey noise (very faint tho).

6. No i havent contacted them. As far as cheapo, i doubt it cuz Justin had them and he had no problems with them.

Yeah, at this point it's just a cold related issue, could have been a bad batch or something, Only once, have I ever had a ballast not come on on the first try, it was -25 with a wind chill and @ that temperate it's kinda of hard to expect something to always work. But I have Gen. 3 ballast's now and they are pretty much 100% redesigned so in the coming winter months, it will be a true test, especially since it will be a COLD ONE.

But have had ballast fail to start do to a shitty battery, but thats about it.

As far as your situation, I would still look into current draw, and see if switching to a relay harness will help.

Also contact your supplier and talk to them because as I know and I'm sure as hell you do too 40 and 30 degree temps ain't shit when it starts dips into the sub zero section of your thermometer you might run into some big issues. Call your supplier and talk it over with them.

Also do they ever stop doing it?

.

But have had ballast fail to start do to a shitty battery, but thats about it.



Also do they ever stop doing it?

Battery may be it. I think its the same battery that came with it bran new. (i bought it used)
The fogs will do the same strobe effect, but those steady out within less than a minute. Usually those function just fine.

One thing i will point out tho. The horn is also tapped into the same harness on the driver side. Not sure if it just follows the path of the headlight wiring or if its drawing any current from the headlight line or not but i thought that may be causing it.

Yes, the lights on some occasions will burn steady. The passenger side is more steady than the driver side most of the time. When the lights been on for a few minutes 7 out 10 times the pass light will steady out before the driver side but the driver side constantly strobes.

As far as a relay, what does that do? Draw power from the battery directly? How much are they?

Oh and it does get real COLD here too.

Battery may be it. I think its the same battery that came with it bran new. (i bought it used)
if your car is an 07 it should not be bad already However if you have the time go to auto zone and have the test your charging/battery systems(it's free) ANd if it were the battery it shouldn't really be an issue when the car running, simple test though turn them with the car off an tell me what it does. Also you getting any radio interfrence?
The fogs will do the same strobe effect, but those steady out within less than a minute. Usually those function just fine.
Further indicates current draw issues.
One thing i will point out tho. The horn is also tapped into the same harness on the driver side.
So..... the horn only gets power when it's in use..... But it's not tied into the lights Not sure if it just follows the path of the headlight wiring or if its drawing any current from the headlight line or not but i thought that may be causing it.
Nope completely separate.
Yes, the lights on some occasions will burn steady. The passenger side is more steady than the driver side most of the time. When the lights been on for a few minutes 7 out 10 times the pass light will steady out before the driver side but the driver side constantly strobes.
Hmmmmm
As far as a relay, what does that do? Draw power from the battery directly? How much are they?
You just answered your own question there :D Yes it pulls power straight from the battery.
I charge 20$ per relay you will at least need two for the fogs and low beams and i suggest one for the highs. And because of this I HIGHLY suggest you call up the people you bought them from and demand another set I think you may have srsly have gotten some bad Bad sets.
Oh and it does get real COLD here too.
I bet i live 20mins from the WI border, I live in north mid-west IL gets much colder(I'm from the south suburbs of Chicago) and it's noticeably colder up here, and since you live in Washington state I'm sure your way colder than me LOL


READ THE QUOTE :cool:

I'll give em call and see if i can get them all replaced. I may just get my money back. We will see.

I had some one one come in for an HID repair, I was able to turn they guy and got him to upgrade to my kit.

Anyway Here is a tear down of his old kit.

"IMO"

So they kits that you sent me are different than the ones you have now? Just wondering cause the ones that I got from you were cheap as heck. And I see that the ones I talk about that I have had in my car (Xentec) you seem not to like much. I have had mine in for almost a year and a half now and have only had to change one fog light ballast. The kits that you sold are $35 a piece x 3 that equals less than the $135 for the x 3 Xentec kits. Im wondering where you get the kits that I recommend are cheap? I think what your wanting to say is quality. Now if were talking about quality thats a whole different story. cause the ones that you sold to me were plastic and junk.

if you are offened by this post let me know i will delete it but its my honest opinion.

Yeah I sell newer ones now, I started working for a guy who's is the biggest distro in the Midwest. And to say the least I'm really running the show.
Believe it or not your experience is what made me switch to a new distro. I had so many Lil problems that just turned into one big one. But I have to say in my defense i did step up to the plate and what was right.... You act as if I left you high an dry.

See that ballast that I took apart up there? I bought every different type of ebay kit I could and Xentec's too.

Me and him ripped them apart identified the problems and weak points(most had identical boards) we are thinking there is main distro in china and all the ebay peeps buy the kits and assemble for the lowest price.We have been through three different version's and we proudly say that we meet and exceed all of the kits on ebay. and thw lone manfactuers

im thinking of getting some Yellow replacement HID bulbs for my fogs. what do you guys think. i have 8000k for the low beams and same with the fog right now. thinking of changing it up alittle. i contacted sparkhid.com where i purchase them, they are hooking me up since i purchase from them already for $46 ship for a set.

Great. The price is Meh... but using 3000k for the foglights will make thm usefull in fog/snow.

ANYONE IN GA THATS WANT TO HELP ME MOD MY G6 GT? 08? I wanna do HID, and idk what else- got the windows tinted- and chrome exhaust- thats all for now- wanna do the lights next---

Im looking for a set of replacment Headlights for my GTP Coupe. I own a '09 Audi S4 and looking for a set of HID's with LED eyebrows or somewhat.
Hit me up.

I'll give you a tip. If you own an Audi S4, don't come to a Pontiac G6 forum and ask. Maybe look for some sort of Audi forum. :D

I'll give you a tip. If you own an Audi S4, don't come to a Pontiac G6 forum and ask. Maybe look for some sort of Audi forum. :D If you read the thread...You will see I own an '07 G6-GTP and I also own a S4.......And yes im on the Audi sight also....mine is 420Hp V6Turbo I Flashed for extera 100Hp.....So eat them carrots so you see and read better...and i'll keep killin them ragheads for ya when I get back to Afghanistan.;)..And yes im being sarcastic brother.

i have a 6000k HID convertion kit ... works just fine ... bright as all hell ... had it since august ... no problems yet and it doesn't create too much glare ... $90 from ebay shipped from japan ... just the low beams ... i wouldn't recomend getting fog and high beam HID because fogs don't really do much lighting far ... they're only in front of the car and high beams are not practical because people like to flash them and it kills the bulbs ... so if you ever do get high beam HID don't flash them ...

for those who don't know ALL HID LIGHTS ARE 35W ... they're totaly different technology then regular bulbs ... there is a way to boost them up to 55W but they're not sold like that ... they're sold as 35W ...


Does it not look funny just having the low beams?

Does it not look funny just having the low beams?

if it were me, i would get all three sets. you would be amazed at how much the fogs on by themselves. will light up if u put HIDs in them, and i would not be without HIDs in my highs, they are soo awesome and u can see like its daylight out, i now see the deer long before its to late. go check out the pics i posted on page 3 of my thread in members ride of my HIDs.

Where did you purchase yours at?

See Pic attached of an S4 like mine. So any new peeps building lights that have the LED'S in em..I found one set...but not the greatest because they have BMW Halo style.

if you look throught the begining of this forum it will show you just lows lows and highs lows and fogs im think i posted all those pics in there somewhere. check it out should answer your questions all has links to sites with HIDS.

I just got an Email, dont know how good these are but i thought id let you guys know about them...

Thanks for your suggestion. I just gone through your suggestion, it worked for me....

So where are people mounting the ballasts in their car?

^^^^bump^^^^

So where are people mounting the ballasts in their car?


i mounted mine behind the mesh grills but as close to the headlights as possible.
granted mine are completely water PROOF not resistant.
theres enough room in there for them to just chill.

okay ive read throught this forum a couple times and...can someone just tell me what kit they bought?!?!? lol.

I got the 5000k 55w kit from Retro-Solutions. Great kit, plug and play install, and awesome customer service. I think i paid a total of $160 with shipping

Is This still going on lol Also read my sig pm for questions

I have been looking at HID's for awhile now, and a buddy of mine turned me towards a site called DMM Tuning. He put them in his 2009 Silverado. He loves them, but they are so cheap and have a lifetime warranty so I was wondering if anyone with a 6 was running them.

They are under $80 for the whole kit plus a wiring harness shipped.
http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p=product&id=101&parent=85

If no one has these, maybe someone will pick them up since they are half the price of what most people have, and let me know. They are made to order too, depending if you want 35 or 55 Watt, and also depending on your bulb size, and what Kelvin you want.

Well I installed my HID's on friday and spent the whole day today working on my car. Since everything was all nice and purty I figured I would take some update pics since I got the new lights. Well that's no longer possible because the drivers side low beam doesn't work. I tried switching the ballast cuz I was sure it was a bulb. But nope it's the drivers side low beam. Other than that it was a very easy install. Just plug and play lol...too bad i'm no longer playing....

alright since this is going to be the next mod on my car i thought this needed a bump.

my question is what kit did everyone get and how did you get it, also what is a good price for a kit that works well?

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a set of UNOPENED Spyder Chrome headlights for sale with DDM H1 bulbs(no ballast) $225. Hit me up...im in North Miami Beach
As forBallast...dont listen to half these guys who spent $150-200 on kits. Some guy here will tell you no such thing as 55w(He dont know crap)...goto DDM only..$46.00 out thedoor and great 55w output sets.



HOW DO YOU DELETE???

I want HID's but I am so god damn confused. Please someone who knows what they are doing and what they are talking about PM me. I have a few questions and I want new lights for my head/fog lights. Thanks again.

i have 8000k HID's for both my headlights and fogs. Just go on google and search 55w h11 HID bulbs, those are the watts and size bulb that fit in the g6 headlights. Or you can do what i did and get the HID Halo headlights which look real good

question about HIDs on Canadian cars....here in Canada its a legal requirement to have DTRL (daytime running lights) but as far as I know you need to turn them off for the HIDs to work properly. Is this true?? If so, is there anything I can do to get around this, without breaking the law? hahah

Hey guys, i installed my HID kit today. I basically zip tied the ballast to the frame that you see when you remove the headlight. I jus wanted to know is there anything that I can put under the ballast so that on bumpy roads it doesn't keep banging on the frame?

my hids work ok here in B.C.

Cops ever give you a hard time?

a couple times about my tinted windows.a few times waiting at a light the car on the otherside flashes their highbeams at me,only have 8000k.

did you pull the DTRL fuse? ever had any problems at inspections?

never pulled any fuses...but i had to buy the relay power cable to supply direct battery voltage when turned on.too get rid of intermittent flickering...

PROGZ- to answer your question you do not need 4 kits lol

just three

1 H11 kit for your lows
1 H11 Kit for your fogs
1 H11 kit for your highs (if you decide to put them into your highs)

you want the 35W HID KIT

1 kit = 2 ballast and 2 bulbs


any other questions please feel free to send me a pm or ask another question on here

sorry for the late reply i have been working alot!

:confused: I thought Highs beams were H9... and I didnt realize the H11 bulb will fit in the fogs even though they are 9040 (or something like that)
