Question about projectors from Xtralights

[Sabs]

Going through the forums I saw a few who have these installed:

10-UP Kia Forte CCFL-Halo Projector Headlights - Black /w Amber Reflectors (Pair)

I have a couple of questions for you guys (since tech support people on the website are pretty clueless):
1. Do HIDs fit well and create a good cut off?
2. Does anyone have this on a 2013 Koup?
3. Which bulb type is being used for the projectors?

Thanks for your input

1. yes (its decent)
2. it shouldn't matter
3. H7

Please remember to search, there are a bunch of threads. They are referred to as "smithclubs"

Searched and looked through all threads, none of them answered the questions I had.

Thanks for answering

Funny.. but i answered your questions by searching "smithclubs"... there are plenty of posts showing the cutoff with HIDS and telling which bulbs they take..

Just stop.

Here is a little tip if you want to use HID's in them. The bulb goes in upside down so you need to shave the large tab on the bulb so you can flip it 180 degree and not have the gap on the bottom.

Scarboy6693 has a thread about this.

The original link has the cheapest place to buy these lights. I just changed the name for future searches so people don't message me anymore.

I just jumped on these bad boys. Wish me luck!

Debating if I should go with 8K or 10K from retro-solutions

Edit: will definitely post my review when I put em on

[bryanguystatus]

4300k-6000k if you want light output. Do 8000k-10000k if you care more about the look.

[Sabs]

I've had 6K from retro-solutions on 2 different cars, it's like pure white with absolutely no blue. I think 8K will add a nice blue hue, plus they are 55W digital so they're hella bright.

[SXey]

6k white. i have 8k's with a blueish tint. 10k's are BLUE. lol be very careful which color you pick b/c cops have a tendency to give a problem with the 10k's. for example, if you drive through VA with some 10k's....your GOING TO GET pulled over haha.

[jgk266]

Be careful because the 55w could melt the housing.

[KoupRider]

Keep between 3800K-5000K to stay with an OEM look, if drawing the fuzz' attention is a concern. Bonus is that this range also give the best light output, as per BGS. I would recommend strongly against using anything higher than a 6500K bulb on a daily driver.

Bryan why stop? The guy obviously didnt look very hard... And he answered the guys questions just with a reminder to use the search. This site is mega mega mega mega cluttered and we all know it. It's not like he was even rude about it.

Only Anthony would understand why I said that.
