Luminics Headlights..

Anyone ever used any of these?? How do they work, and do they last for a while?? Also, they recomned the KYO upgrade wiring harness to protect your facotory wire from melting. Is this really necasery?? Sounds like it is, just dont want to get something thats not really needed.. I was also thinking of getting the pure blue ones, but is that a little ricy?? They have pure white ones but I'm afraid those will just look like plain old white headlights.. Im tryin to go with a HID look without getting the conversion kit... I just dont want to look ricy with blue headlights..

I looked at those. I went through the order process and they didn't offer me any wiring upgrade. They don't have the wattage specs on the website, so it is hard to see if they are above normal wattage, which if they are, would draw more amps, and possibly damage the harness.

OK, I see. I was looking at there actual website. The wires are just a little thicker on the harness. If it were me, I would skip it.

^EXACTLY. Stop wasting time on these bulbs. All these blue bulbs on the market are like $20-$40, and you can get HID kits for $50 these days. Ask blackalti, he can tell you all about it. E-B-A-Y. Plus you got to upgrade wiring? F*ck that. All these blue bulbs are way higher wattage than stock, because thats the only way they can come anywhere close to having a HID type output, and its still not even close. Not to mention they blow more than Jenna J. Its not worth it. You will end up spending more money replacing the bulbs when they blow then if you just bought the HID kit from the rip. Put your money into something worth it, get the HID kit.

x2 those bulbs always melt wires and hids look so much better and only consume 35 watts opposed to 55w like stock lights

True true, is Ebay the only place you can get those kits? Are they pretty easy to install? And do they make ones that arent crazy wattage, I dont want to blind people on the road, I just want a nice hid look.

Ebay is probably the best place to find good prices, but you can find great bargains across the net.

They are very easy to install. I made a write-up that completely breaks it down:

going to buy a Genesis 4300k HID kit - SUPERNISSANS.NET Nissan Owners Community

They are stock wattage, and you aren't gonna be blinding anyone on the road, especially not more than the new TSX's and Max's, get 8000K.
