Where can I get HID kits??

**super.yellow** · 10-06-2006, 10:53 AM

Hey guys, wondering if any of you know any GOOD shops in the GTA area that sells and installs HID kits.

I have a Xenon Depot HID kit installed now, but after going through a car wash the thing died on me, I had the ballast replaced then it worked again, went through another car wash, and died again, this time its not the ballast. I hate this thing, its giving me un-necessary headaches. For all of you out there looking for HID kits, DON'T get XENON DEPOT!! They are not water-proof!

So yeah if you guys have any brand recommendations which are WATERPROOF, please respond, I've heard of a couple of good brands such as HELIOS, McCullough, Techone, but I'd like to hear what you guys have installed and what your experiences are.

Thanks.

I've got Techone HIDs 2 sets, high and low, never had a problem. They have upgraded their ballast's to better units look water resistant to me. Give George a shout from http://www.mod-express.com mention my username "Seven Of Nine" he should be able to get you a good deal, can also jiggle the value so you don't have to pay any tax also.

I've heard of both HELIOS and McCullough as well supodasally both good brands but I havn't got any personal experiences with them.

p.s. Don't take your Celica through automatic carwashes as they have a tendancy of putting swirls on the paint and possible dammage, always hand wish and wrinse with hoses dry and wash with chamois (microfibre type) I normally use warm water and Mer rinse off wipe down then use Meguries NXT Tech wax.

I rarely go through car washes, but when I do I go through the touchless ones, so there shouldn't be swirl marks.

I did a diagnostic myself just now and realized that the relay switch is the culprit, so I may have to get that replaced. Hopefully thats the only thing, I guess better replacing those than the entire kit.

But thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check out http://www.mod-express.com if I ever run into anymore problems or just had about enough with my current kit. =P
