Hey guys,

I'm on the fence on which brand/vendor to buy from. Xenondepot was my first choice but after doing a lot of researching and reading different opinions on different setups, I'm really considering hidextra and ddmtuning which are both a fraction of the price.

I realized that xenondepots and ddmtuning kits have the option to run a separate relay/ harness that goes directly to the battery...I'm sure that it's a good thing to have constant running voltage but is it necessary? I was thinking maybe using the ddmtuning 3000k hid kit ($40 which is relatively cheap) for my fogs without the relay/harness as running an extra line to the battery would be more of a hassle. As for the low beams, either ddmtunings 4300k hid kit with the relay/harness ($52.50) or the hidextra 5000k hid kit ($79.99) which does not offer the relay/harness.

Hmmmm decisions decisions...i know its not this complicated to pick but still on the fence

p.s. my friend gets a brand called xenith xenons (http://www.xenithxenons.com) and they're going for $79.95...

Just an update:
i ordered 2 volt kits from xenondepot (kbcarstuff.com) - 1 9006 3000k hid kit for my fogs and 1 H11 4300k hit kit for my low beams. They're shipping it out on monday and should have it by the end of next week! Can't wait.

I NEED HELP WITH THE TRUNK LED:
i ordered this: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p8800874.html that brocious suggested earlier but i can't figure out how to connect it...am i missing something here? Here's a picture of it:


Help please lol
Thanks

^ See pictures in post #2 from this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=507501

The LED board should have come with a festoon adapter that you plug into that white connector.

I was looking at that thread and trying to figure out how to connect it without that piece....i even searched google but couldnt figure a logical answer before i posted the question. Was v-leds supposed to include the "festoon adapter" because they didn't (or am i supposed to order it with a "base selection" on their site http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p8800874.html - i didn't know which one to choose when i ordered and i left it at none for the base selection).

^ Ahh, looks like V-LEDS changed things up. They used to include all the adapters, but I guess now you need to explicitly choose one. You need the 31mm festoon adapter. I'll update my LED replacement guide to reflect this change.
