I don't know much about HIDs. Can someone who does have a look at this link and let me know if they look ok, or do you know a better place to get them.

Is this a good price?

Is there anything I need to look out for when buying HIDs

hey that's a good price

I agree with Busky you will loose lux with higher frequency and the light colour will also change.

BTW do you guys know what type of bulb I need for my R32GTR 93 Vspec model? I wouldn't mind getting a set as my eyes are not that good at night.

I bought some off a group buy on NS.com about a year back for $280. They are 6,500k and are superb. I had them in my S15 and now have them in my R34. If you have one ounce of tech knowledge and electrical sense install them yourself - easy job. The standard S15 lights absolutely suck ass - you won't even know the car with HIDs installed - makes it a joy to drive at night.

I believe the ones I have are cheap Chinese units, but have been flawless for around a year now. I think with these cheaper units (like I have), when you blow a globe you throw the whole kit away, as replacements would be very exxy and near impossible to find (not too sure though). But HID globes are supposed to last 5x times longer than normal globes anyhow. Keep in mind HIDs are illegal unless you have self-levelling and washing capabilities, but I don't and have never had a problem.

DO IT, highly recommended!

    • from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It. 
    • Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.  
    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
