    Default Spyder rt-s hid

    Does ESI still have Hid kit?

    Looking on input from ESI vs XenonDepot.

    thanks

    How hard was the installation? Is it plug on play?

    I'm thinking going with xenon xtreme kit 4300k 9005 for headlight and h8 4300k for fogs.

    thanks

    Color match between the fog & lights is perfect and the lights are phenomenal.
    Now. If only.........there was an easy way to adjust the fog lights.


    Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

    Well that wouldn't be possible on a 2013.

    Is the hid in fogs a problem for uncoming traffic?

    You want light or handling?
    Adjuster like the ones used on the headlights can be purchased. One of my future investments.

    Am told the very first spyder's taken around to dealers had the fog adjusters but they dropped them on the production models. $$$ savings for them. Kind of worthless tho if ya can't adjust them. Whiiiiiine!

    Do you have to drill the plastic cover(behind the bulb) to pass the ballast wire?

    Thanks for the heads up on that.

    If you are going to the Owners Event look me up. I developed a clean install for the headlight that is a true plug and play. Also came up with a better way to mount the ballasts for the fog lights. I need to get the details posted but I am swamped with higher priority project at the moment.
