Default HID XENON LIGHT UPGRADE

Hello all, new 08' H2 owner here. Anyone know what the best upgrade kit is for Xenon light upgrade? Has anyone installed one. I see there is a vendor here on the site that sells them. Are they hard to install? This is my second (actually 3rd) we won't go there, H2 and we all know the headlights are a joke. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

H2 007 is off the scale
Default Re: HID XENON LIGHT UPGRADE

I've been looking at doing this as well. As I'm sure you already know, there are several companies out there selling them.

I found one that at least seemed to have a good reputation from the people buying them. I have an '07 Chevy Cobalt LT that I use as an occasional daily driver when I don't want to get the H2 dirty and I actually found this company on the Cobalt forum.

I haven't ordered from them yet, but a complete set was like about $170. I think they were from www.visionbulbs.com

The way I looked at it, was that for the price of SilverStar Ultra's, it wouldn't be too much more to just go with these and they are true HID's.

In order to go HID dont you need the full Transformer/Ballasts kit and not just the Bulb?

Thanks

As far as I know Hummer has never put, or offered HID lights as an option. You have to get the conversion kit and do it yourself.

Thanks, actually I went down to the local auto parts store and purchased a set of the Silvania Silverstar Ultra's they were about $50 and they did make quite a difference at night. The light is whiter with a hint of blue tint to it. I guess i will try these for a while and then make the switch to true HID's The Ultra's did make a noticable improvement over the stock bulbs.

I installed Bi xenon true hid lights just a week ago in my 08 h2. Bi xenon is HID for the low and hi beams. I got them off ebay from the same guy I bought from my porsche they were like $150, theyre great. They come with ballasts, theyre plug and play and are 15x brighter than the stock lights. I'll post pics here in a week or so when I get around to it. I'm having alot of stuff installed in the 08 recently.

I've installed the system, but have a problem. Seems I only have high beams. If I turn on the headlights, they work, but when I hit the high beams, they go off. Also, the daylight running lights stopped working. On the OEM plug, there's three wires. Looking at it from the backside, I believe the left wire is lowbeam, the right, highbeam, and the center ground. Does anyone know if this is correct?

The plug and play plug only has two wires, one hot and one ground. As it comes out of the box, the hot wire is on the highbeam side, if I'm correct on the wiring.

Please help, it getting dark outside
