You can also get one of the hi/low kits with a movable shield if you have an Accent or anything else that uses one bulb for high and low.

Personally, I'm just not putting HID's in the Accent's headlights anytime soon. Fog lights though are going to be 3000k HID's.

^Making cut off shields is a better idea. When you aim them down far enough to not blind people, you kind of lose the luxury of having the HID kit. Still bright, but not out far enough on the road to have bothered changing.


I think it may have been you that had them on your elantra. what exactly did you do?

All I'm doing is saving on shipping. So if I bought them I could get them shipped to me for $35 each, but then I would have to ship them to you, so it would probably cost less for you to order them directly.

Buying 2 sets from DDM Tuning is only $37.06 each shipped. One set is $43.05 shipped.

I know. A pair of Silverstar Ultra bulbs is $50. It's crazy.

I guess "not putting HID's in the Accent's headlights anytime soon" meant any time in the next 15 days. Just ordered a set with bixenon bulbs. I couldn't find a review that satisfied my curiosity about how well they work, but here's to hoping. The built in shield should work alright. Hopefully they're not blindingly bright. If they are I'll build a shield myself.

So I ordered:

H4 bixenon 35w 6000k Accent
880 35w 3000k Accent fogs
9006 35w 3000k Tiburon fogs
for me

along with
H7 35w 8000k
880 35w 3000k
Relay harness kit

All for $205 shipped. smile.gif
My portion is $120 total since the bixenon kit is $20 more than a standard kit.

Can't wait to get all of these installed along with the 6000k 35w kit I already have for the Tiburon's lows. smile.gif
