vvme 6000k hid lights installed
I am about to go to bed so just posting a couple pics , i plan on making a write up on the install and where and how i mounted ballast, etc... this is the vvme.com 6000k bi-xenon kit. I only paid $72 shipped . came from china , but i ordered last friday and it came in on monday. everything works and fits great. i am extremely satisfied so far. sorry the cell phone pics do not really show how bright they are. I can see WAY better than the halogens and the beam and cutoff are much better than i thought they would be

I hope their not blinding, dumba$$es around here have been getting HIDs off CL real cheap and they are horrible driving around at night. They are blinding everyone and if you look there is very little light on the road.

It looks pretty good. But just my .02 worth, i think anything under $100 for bi-xenon is crap. If it has a full warranty on it then great! The big thing you want to look for in a HID kit is if it's fully digital or not. Non-digital kits tend to have more glare and less life expectancy on the bulbs. Here is a pic of my lows for the full digital 55w 8K kit I got from Retro solutions
great output but I also spent $200.00 on them. Didn't mean to jack your thread or anything, haha I much rather have better output of light. I can't stand to see these old cars around town with the nasty corroded lenses and they can't see 5 feet in front of them.

yours looks great, mine look nearly as bright as yours , but mine are only 35w . I wouldn't say mine are crap , they function perfect , high/low works perfect , and i am happy with their output. For under $100 , they still provide high/low function, better output than stock , not too bright to blind other drivers, and a better looking bright white color.

I am happy with them and do not believe they blind others, the cut off is very good for reflectors. i am aware of projector retrofits and the like , and really don't plan on going through that trouble on a 4runner. some cars come factory with reflector housings and hid;s , so it is not "very simple" . this could go back and forth , I just posted to say i am happy with the kit from vvme and like the extra output and better look i get over factory. for under 100 i am happy. if you want the best results possible, do a retrofit with factory projectors from another vehicle.

jw but doesnt the 35w HID have about or a little more output then the halogens 55w bulbs so that means its not a good idea to be running 55w HIDs bc the output is much brighter. Thus being more destractive and outputting light that looks more like someone's brights...?
Wasnt exaclty sure on this but that is the logic i got from it but i could be wrong and am wondering if someone knows the actual answer bc i wanna get some HIDs but i dunno wat wattage is best and legal.

I'm just going to put this out there for people with PNP or thinking about them. A 35w HID kit puts out roughly the same lumen output as an h4 halogen in high beam mode. Since the 4runner uses the same reflector housing for both low and high beams, the reflector design is a compromise between a low beam and a high beam reflector design, and using a PNP HID kit is like running around with your halogen high beams on all the time unless you are using casper shields. Vehicles equipped with factory hid reflectors use a separate high beam reflector so the low beam reflector housing can be designed to minimize glare. You also don't get pretty colors =)

I was thinking about buying some HID lights. I got 200$ in my pocket right now.... Whats a good kit for my 4runner? and im guessing the Retrofitting is necessary? I want Max output but also not blinding. And No blue tint lol i hate that. I want like pure white. Any suggestions on a entire kit for like 200 and less?

the vvme kit i have has shields. when high beam is switched on , the bulb retracts backwards and allows light to hit the bottom of the headlight housing through a space in a shield. The shield makes a big difference as it doesn't allow the light to reflect off everywhere in the housing when on low beam.
