Gen6 HID Kit??

Hi all i'm new here and wanted some advice on HID kits.

I found some from locally here from some shop they want 150 installed they're plug and play Ratek. Are they a good brand? What should i look for?

Or can you'll recommend a good kit?

Thanks.


I have a 2007 Titanium Silver SE.

Fixed.

To the thread starter. Welcome to TN. That said, if you would have read some of the threads, you will find that it is probably a cheap quality kit, since it is probably made in China. Watch out for things like "Japanese design" or "German design". That is bs, it is still Chinese made junk. Join www.hidplanet.com and read the university section and find out how to do a retrofit. There are even guys on these boards and over there who may do a commission piece for you, but I will say, it is a lot EASIER to do a retrofit than it seems. Good luck.

I am a member of www.hidplanet.com also . You are much better off doing an HID retrofit than bying a cheap kit. I had and Infiniti FX35 retrofit in my Altima b4 I totaled it. It was bi-xenon = highlow beam
here is a pic of my finished product.


You will like this or any other hid retrofit set up much better in the end.

Glenn

If you aren't ready to do a full retro kit, the Xenon Depot kit is the best! The quality is pretty damn good and it was very easy to install.

Make sure to cover your squirrel spotters even though they are a pain to do!

Yep, if you go by way of plug and play ( no, I was not trying to rhyme), make sure you go w/ Xenon Depot and cover your squirrel spotters! Search for a thread called "Glare still there" (why it is not in the gen 6 stickies, I do not know). Also, please, please, no HIDs in the fogs. Thanks and good luck.
