New to the forum- HID help!

[BlakeBrattina]

Hey everyone,

First post here on the new forum! Just picked up an '07 Hatchback and will be looking to upgrade from the stock low-beam bulbs to some HID's. My main question and concern is, I believe, the stock wattage would be 55W, correct?

I want to make sure I purchase the right kit (will be looking for a 6000k) to keep it reasonable. If anyone has any helpful insight, I would really appreciate it.

And I am not new to car forums, so I'm sure someone will tell me to search, however, I am kind of in an anxious rush for this as I will be buying a kit tomorrow as soon as I find the proper fit so I can install this weekend!

Also, if anyone has any spare insight, I may be looking for a nice suspension kit (what is recommended for these cars?) and a possibly lip or splitter!

Thanks for any help in advance!(hi)

I guess a better way to go about this also would be to ask if anyone who has the DDM 6000K 35W system to post some pictures.. I'm really trying to get a feel for the light output color and quality.. I'm thinking the 35W 6K but do want to have at least a little bit of blue involved in the color!

I also would like to know what kit to get. I have the same car as you. If someone could give me a link for thee exact kit i would need to buy, whether its from DDM tuning or anyone else would be greatly appreciated.

35w will be plenty for normal use.

Hey eveyone! I have a question.. I purchased my 05 mazda 3i yesterday, and I LOVE it. However, what brand and where can I buy good HID's. I hate the cheap HID's people buy on ebay, and they flicker.. or the harness burns or something.. Someone please help me!!!

www.theretrofitsource.com is the place to get high quality kits and retrofits/lenses.
Don't be surprised at the prices though; you get what you pay for, and the reviews and what my friends say about them are always good.

Thank you!! Yeah, it's alittle pricey, but I guess I'd rather pay for quality..

Hello! I'm pretty sure I am purchasing HID's from that website, but I'm confused with what I need to order.

I have a 2008 Mazda 3S 4 door 2.0, is this what I need? I know the ballast and bulbs are right (itleast I think =p) but idk if I need a wire harness?
MORIMOTO STAGE II HID KIT: AMP
Ballasts: Morimoto 3Five (35w)
Bulbs: H7: Morimoto 3Five 6000K
Wire Harness: Relay: H7

 

[superdoughboy4]

I don't believe you actually need a wire harness. For our cars you don't anyway.

 

[rdemattio]

Alright, that's good. But what about the other like models? Like which one out of these should I order?
Morimoto stage ll D2S
Morimoto stage ll Amp
Phillips Stage ll d2s

What's the difference between all of those?

if you are only looking for a plug-n-play kit, send Matt at TheRetrofitSource an email and tell him what you want to do. he is SUPER responsive, and provides the best customer service of any online retailer i have ever dealt with.

this is the kit you will most likely end up with-

I called them and I talked to Matt, he told me what I needed. I guess he said I need a extra peice that isnt included in the kit, he said Mazda is the only brand that needs it and that I'll need to but that on ebay or something. So yeahhh =[ lol

EDIT: Is this what I need? http://www.hidxenonlights.com/hid-bulb-spacer-adapter-p-509
