Hawks HID kit

I was just wondering if anyone has used these and how good they are. Also how easily they hook up to stock wiring.
Heres the link:

Seems like a good price if they are decent

Thanks

Re: Hawks HID kit

wish they gave an option other than 10,000k, because i really hate blue lights. when i see them on other cars on the road, in the back of my head there's a little voice that says "douche."

Re: Hawks HID kit

Agreed, im not a big fan of the blueish tint. I just havent had much luck finding a kit that comes with the sealed beam housing.

Read the Hawks GP on these, it'll answer your questions.

Re: Hawks HID kit

Hey Everyone, thanks for the interest in our kit! I have sold 10 sets of these and I have sold the 6k bulb which is all white and the 10k bulb which is all blue. Please check out the Group Purchase I did on these and you will see pics and comments from guys that installed these. You can read the reviews from the guys that installed them directly, the original guy that bought them was Rocky....then followed 9 others. I have not had any complaints and I have had several people email me with how easy they were to install, and one guy was texting me pics the whole time he was installing them. Let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information

Re: Hawks HID kit

I emailed Hawks and was able to get the 6000 bright white bulbs. Great kit for the money. Completely plug and play just have to mount the ballasts. Much brighter than stock sealed beams. Would highly recommend.

The kit very easy to install and have had no problem with them at all. Plug n play no cutting of wires at all. Anybody who owns a thirdgen can install these lights

I would really love to say go for it but my logical side would tell you all to be a little more disciplined and do it the correct way so you don't blind everyone on the road.

Use an HID projector, not only does it say, "I care about the modifications I make to my car," its legal too!
