ACA's with H9 bulb
 

I have been struggling :willy: to see at night for three years with my car. I did the silverstars then the plug in HIDS. Nothing worked! I was about to invest big bucks in something new but then I found the ACA's with the halogen bulbs on the famous auction site for just over 200 hundred. I thought my HIDS would plug in to them. Well the HIDS did not fit so I went with the H9 bulbs. They work great! I tore the HIDS out and am using the ACA with H9 with the original wiring. I CAN FINALLY SEE at NIGHT! OMG! :eek:
The light is strong with no hot spots and a clear cut off. I lubricated my golden rod and have adjusted them so no issues. I bet the HIDS would work great in them if they fit but the H9's look great to me too. Anyone wanting to upgrade over stock will love this upgrade plus the housings look great too! :cheers:

yes
 

Those are the housings but with the H9 bulbs. I got them for 215.

I'm curious if the H9-base HID bulb is compatable with them... If you want, i have a 55w slim ballast set I can sell you for $100.

Hmmmmm.....:mad:

damn thats a smoking price! I hardly drive my car at night though so i'm wondering if its worth the upgrade price?

I believe the HIDS I have I got from you a year ago. They just didn't work with the OEM housings.

Sorry didn't read carefully. I don't have the h9 based HID bulb. :ack:

:iagree:...seems eerily similar to kits being sold at $700 - $1000. Wonder how they compare for those not looking to drop a grand on new headlights when these even come with "ACA" stamped lenses and are purportedly made using the molds purchased from ACA.

I agree. I'm not sure if these are the same as the ones I just purchased at a higher price. I know there are two components to these lights; (1) the ACA Housing or ACA-like molded housing and (2) the actual lights, ballasts, wiring, etc. or the guts of the lights.

I bought the same lights and they are amazing. I already had a 35watt 9006 plug and play kit in my stock lights, they were good but no where as good as the projector lights. If you still have the ballasts from your plug and play kit I have an extra set of H9 HID replacement bulbs I'll sell for $15 shipped. They plug right into the new housings just make sure you have 35 watt ballasts, it will say it on the ballast or there will be a sticker on the old 9006 hid bulbs. PM me if you are interested.

the original kit i believe came with Hella Gen 3 ballasts and philips bulbs. (high quality components that add a great deaql to the price)

other than that, i don't see that much of a difference between the ACA projectors and similar designs for other cars that are less expensive.

The original kits came with relay and wiring harnesses as well. This seems to be just the light housings, but its the most important part, the rest can be made to work it seems. I'm going to have to get a set and some H9 bulbs for my existing hid balasts.

I paid a bit more, $279. Because I was so shocked to find them for such a low price. Any thing below $600-1000 sounded like a smoking deal to me... Anywhoo, these lights do come with a wiring harnesses and relays presumably to allow the low beams to stay on while the high beams are lit. I bought a 55w H9 HID kit for $40 from ddm tuning. I still need to install them.

Smoking deal!

:eek:

The auctions I just found on flea bay said they come with H 11 bulbs? :bigears

all the ones i saw were H9. Got links?

link just sent to you. It says no instructions included how hard are these to install by yourself? Where can you get them installed and whats a ballpark range for that?

Those coem with HIDs, though i've never seen an H11 bulb in person. I wonder how they changed the base.

From what i understand the original ACAs required grinding of the headlight frame rienforcements. I'd be interested to hear from someone who'se installed these on their car.

These are a killer price if they actually work and arent really hard to put in. 300 for a set of H.I.D projectors!! Thats cheaper than halo tail lights
