JDM HID for Titan Review

[jedi7001]

Not to hijack a thread, but..

If anyone is interested, I just did a write up on HID's versus Silverstar halogens...

Here are my McCulloch's 6000k w/JDM yellow fog lights. I love this setup, apparently I see it a lot of trucks on the road w/similar setup.

Nice setup. you said JDM yellow fogs. are these still halogen? Did they have other colors or close matching bulbs to the HID?

How much did you pay for them, and do you think the quality is good?

Three Month Followup on the JDM HId's

It's been three months since I installed the JDM Hids, and just wanted to post a follow up. I have had no problems with the HID's, they have lit every time. I have not been highbeamed one single time. The 3m tape I used is holding super strong. Super happy with the purchase.

Hi elbo,

Hmm, mine fit good, but if he has a loose one, he should put in a gasket to get it nice tight and waterproof. If you read thru the posts, I think there is a phone number posted somewhere, where you can save a few $$ ordering directly from the guy. There are several folks selling the Hids, I think they are all about the same quality, except some of the kits have the connectors ready to go. I think another guy had some sort of bulb alignment problem. Didn't twist in straight or something.

Is this the guy to go with?

One of the reasons I hesitated on the Titan was the lack of HID. I have OSRAM aftermarket HID on my F-150 and really like 'em. Don't want another vehicle without HID.

So I pullet the trigger and found my Titan today. I'll be flying down to Houston to get it this coming week. HID will be my first upgrade . . . as soon as possible.

I have just one question: Does the Titan have a low-beam headlight and a high-beam headlight? I noticed that the HID in this thread is single function (one beam, only). Or do you lose high beam when you install these HID headlights. Yes, I know it must sound like a stupid question, but I don't have my Titan yet.

For my Harley, I bought bi-function HID to retain low and high beam operation (and comply with state requirements).

no worries, the titan have seperate bulbs for hi and lo beam (9006/9005). So when you buy your single filament kit you'll still keep your hi's on the 9005

Would someone explain to me how we can have JDM anything for our freaking trucks, please? I always thought JDM stood for Japanese Domestic Market, pretty good they have siht for the titan and its not sold over there.

I got them for $255 instead of $280.

Would someone please start over and give a link to exactly which HIDs to buy (6,000K for 2008 Titan) and also give info on the 10% discount. I'm ready to buy but don't want to goof up.

You're absolutely right. JDM is used way too often and incorrectly.
