Long story short. My car was hit on the right last Oct and the body shop replaced one of my lights with a HID light. So I have one bright light and one stock light. Looks like ***.

So I just called my local dealer asking what the price is on the OEM HID's. The headlights units are $1,K+ and the lights are $400.+ ea
Anyone know where I cant get them for less? and if that one HID light will burn out in time?

Thanks,
Gilbert

 

any tuner shop can get you a set of HID for like 500
i got some from catz

 

Mike, where/who is that? what the sit/link?

 

i dont have a link for catz
they are a brand like PIAA for example

anyone else hear of them

 

Look on ebay. You should be able to get one light for under 300.

 

^what raspy said.

 

Hey Dom, I am getting my left head light replaced in my 8 as we speak.
I am guessing you need a left side light.
The estimate says ,,,,
"REPLACE OEM HEADLAMP ASSY,XENON LT FE03510L0G $476.74"
This is an HID light.
I am keeping this light assembly and all I have to do is to polish the paint that is on the lens off. If you want it for a good price let me know. I have to look closely at it but I think it is intact ,just a paint scuff from the other car. The light has only 6700 miles on it.
PM me ,,OK

 

HID's lights are supposed to last the life of the car, 3000 hours to be exact. You can check here $78.99 + S&H for OEM high quality DS2 bulbs. I too, would recommed that you try ebay first, don't forget that our HID's use a different projectors. So, you would need a ballast, ignitor, bulb, and a H7 HID light bulb and or a H7 to Ds2 adaptors for it to be a plug and play kit.

 

OK cool. Thanks for all the info guys. I'll look around on ebay.
Easy_E1, PM sent.

 

dominion im not sure if u sent me a p/m ? sorry I get too many on here

 

Yeah man I'm a no0b when it comes to this HID/headlight stuff. I was just asking you where you got your hids from and how much?

Guys I'm on ebay.com right now. I did a search for mazda rx 8 2004 hid and there are like 30+ items coming up under; NEW 04 05 MAZDA RX-8 8000K H7 XENON HID KIT $199.99

What should I be looking for?

Thanks for the help,
Gilbert

 

hey gilbert its cool im glad to help.
try proxenon.com there is a guy named mike there i alwayzed dealt with.I never got H.I.D for my rx8 but had them on my s4, rx7, integra, and 3 friends car. not to mention I had sillygrl get her set from there. they have retrofit sets which are basic Plug & play for the rx8 and have upgrade Bulbs for us HiD ready rx8.

 

just look for the entire headlight assembly with HIDs and buy that.

 

EBAY IT !!!!! thats what i did. i paid 534 for a pair of complete HID headlights.

 

Kel Rx8, Thanks for the help. I'll check them out when I get home.

Guys I'm on Ebay right now. Cant find anything I have looked under HID, Headlight, Headlight assembly nothing

 

n/p
but dont bother on ebay. why take the risk at someones ballast chances are they are off a rx8 for a accident reason. I think the HID Kit I mentioned where 349.00 p/m sillygrl from MD she sold her rx8 a few weeks ago but maybe able to answer any questions.well im done I feel like i work for proxenon or something LOL
take care

 

is that 349 for the set of two? not positive because i know very little about lighting, but if it's only one wouldn't the HID look be different?

 

Thats just it. The shop put on hid kit in on the side I got hit then took it back to the dealership exchanged it for the other side and now I have a hid in the driver side and on the passanger side its stock. Looks like ***. I called the dealer they want $1,000 for the asseambly and $400 for each light
