Default HID Conversion Kit

Ive been looking around for awhile now... is it possible to get a red HID Conversion kit for a 01 tiburon? So far i can only find red Xenon bulbs....

i doubt it. red falls on the very low end of the kelvin temp. scale, and light output with it would be horrible.

I saw someone with reddish headlights yesterday...might have been some sort of HID kit, but it looked terrible.

why would you even want it? it would be compleatly illegal and probably unsafe to drive with.. red has such a short bandwidth that it does not reflect well enough to see by

If it's just for show then don't waste money on an HID kit. Just get some red bulbs somewhere (ebay i guess) and install them for showing off your car.

I don't think you can have Red with HID anyways, i don't see how it would work.
I've bnever seen it....

It would definitely look hot at a show. But illegal on the street. Some cops give people trouble cause of the blueish lights of HID. Red can only be used in the rear for braking.

it can be done, but no HID mfr. in their right mind would do it. you would not be able to see a thing.
