Your headlights are already HID/xenon, but being an '11 yes you've got the factory halogen coronas. There are lots of threads on that - I would personally just get some inexpensive white halogen bulbs and call it good, vs. spending hundreds on HID bulbs that really look no better than a halogen replacement.
Here's 1 thread here - http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=952763
Keep in mind most people post pics looking straight on - those typically look okay (though often in inner coronas is significantly brighter than the outer). Step off center and it's not going to look as good.
Got any pics to post? |
I don't have a lot of pictures at the moment aside from these. I actually just took the car to GA and ill be taking to pictures tomorrow as i drive up a mountain!
I see what you mean about getting some halogen bulbs for the angel eyes. The HID kit for those is 180 and the HID kit for the headlights are 180 as well. That's alot of money too spend. im going to do a search for the bulb types for both and get some halogen bulbs. I know the factory bulbs are bi-zenons
I upgraded my Mazda's headlights with HID and i loved it.
here are a few pictures
