Default Aftermarket HIDs

Has anyone installed any aftermarket HIDs? Any suggestion on brand? I don't have the luxury package Xenon HID headlights so I wanted to install them.

There are no full kits out at this moment that I know of other than OEM, just bulbs you can buy off the shelf and put them in your current housing.

The Outlander is not that simple to convert because of the DRL (Dayime Running Lights).
Seems like you can't just "pull out the fuse" either since it's controlled by the ECU.
The 2008 Lancer has the same DRL set-up.

Several good HID kits out there and several options with the DRL.
Here is one link for the DRL.
http://www.mitsubishi-forums.com/t31...and-hid39s.htm

Some options are:
1-Have the dealer turn off the function at the ECU.
2-Have the HID Store modify the relay harness as mentioned in the above linkas Option 1.
(MobileHID.com and V-LEDS.com seem willing to do this, but your HID lights will be on all the time.)
3-Build and install Option 3 as described in the link above.

Retro-Solutions.com andLightWerkz.net also sell good HID kits.

Please find someone you can trust for advice or perform your own research.
A purchase from the wrong company and you could end up with a over-priced but cheap, malfunctioning kit from Asia and little or no return/replacement options.

When I install a HID system, I'll post the results.
Good luck!

Make sure that the the aftermarket HID'sLight Intensityare 6000K or LESS, otherwise the light looks blueish and it doesn't look original. If you go with 7000K or 10000K its just completelety blue color

I have also aVolvo XC70 and I used 6000K light intensity HID's and it still looks too blue to be original ......... (when look you from opposite direction )

4600k is the original tone. All the rest are going out to eye sensitivity (>6000k) or insufficient light with reddish tones (<1500k)
