Default hidx?

Hi Everyone,

what are your thoughts on HIDX? i see they make a pretty good looking 7inch hid. i am contemplating 3 of these for the front of my arb deluxe bumper (when i order it)

what color are they? bright white? blueish?

any comments on these would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,

Sean

Running 5 of these. 2 on the windshield and 3 in the bumper. They are the same as the Rugged Ridge lights. I really like them. They re definitely a blue/white light. the second light pic is just the windshield lights. The first is windshield and my Piaa ultra white headlight bulbs. Thy look really blue but are very white in person. I would definitely recommend them.

Also, they are only offered in a euro style beam pattern. I like mine and will be buying a set for the wife's WK.

I also like that they are 7.75 inches. Bigger than Piaa bigger than the 170 lightforce. And I can still fit three across my arb deluxe

Are they plastic or metal? And are they really euro beam? Thought they were driving beam?

I love my EE HIDs, but the metal casing is starting to rust/corrode after a year..

Yes they are really euro beam. I believe they are metal.

Sorry. I lied. They are a high impact abs housing. I think that's plastic, the. They have an aluminum trim ring.

I am thinking about getting some 4" HIDX for my windshield. My EE lights are hitting the wipers when I use them...

But I wonder what bracket would be best? My KC brackets are crap and rusting up.

Yeah. They are similar to the brackets HIDX make, but they cost like 100 bucks!
