Yes sir ! Thx for the info. Ima newbie so what's "Kev" ? Are you running HIDs or Cree ? I'm in the southwest part of town. What about you ?
I'm Kev aka dfwwiz on here and TBSSowners forum. I've been selling lights for over 3 years and cater to what people want and need without requiring peeps to pay an "arm and a leg". I apologize about my site not being functional at the moment, it had too much old clutter on it so its slowly getting revamped.
Light output is based on lumens not watts as most have thought in the past. Watts is simply power used which comparing filament to LED is about half to 2/3 less power draw.
Stock Halogen is about 900-1100 lumens but draws 55 watts of power and runs very hot
I have the Cree/driver LED sets for $75 32 watts 3600 lumen runs only warm (also can be had in 30 watt 2400 and 25 watt 1800 lumen) These are also instant on full brightness
HID sets for $40 35 watts 2600-3000 lumen range from 3400Kelvin to 30000K 5000K is white these also are very hot because its Xenon gas molecules being excited by an arc causing then bumping into each other but they tak 12 seconds to warm up to full brightness not recommended for high beams or flash to pass function
AND I make and sell the Capacitor mod for a full power voltage to the Daytime Running Lights which is a must if you run HIDs or Cree/driver lights. DRLs operate on a pulsed 70% power level-NOT good for ballasts or drivers which require steady 12 volts.
My Cap mod is only $5 and a simple connection with a T-tap on the pink/white stripe wire in the BCM under the rear seat. IT will make the BCM think its night time and flow a 12+ volt current to your DRL 9006 low beam lights at all times.
I also have about any LED light you can possible want for any other location on your ride-interior/exterior, ghost under door, strip lights, specialty lights and Cree flashlights with rechg Li-On batteries.

What's up guys?!? I'm was just breezing through the thread & seeing ppl debating between Cree/HID/LED's . I personally like the hid look. My 06 Accord & my 03 Envoy uses the bulb #9006. Got some HIDs installed on the accord from a stereo shop. They've been out of stock for 6 months now. Found another shop & they told that my Envoy requires relay with resistors along with the HIDs . Is that true? Any advice for me? Thx in advance !
Relays WITH resistors? NO A relay yes so that the ballast gets 12 volts in daytime running. The resistors are only needed on vehicles with canbus system to the headlights as in BMW, Honda, Mercedes etc because the lower usage of power (resistance) triggers a "bulb out" code to come on.
These are $10 from me but need to be interfaced between your stock plug and your new light set. Or you can buy my Cap mod for $5 and install in less than half the time.
