Head on shot
Sorry for the crappy pics...verdict is I have not had people flash me their high beams and the cutoff is very nice and sharp. Very happy with the results.
Tought I would give it a whirl and install some 35W hid in the lows... ---I was a little hesitant as I know how Halogen lamps can act with HID bulbs---and sure enough I was right they look like s**** .. terrible beam pattern....output gain is nill..needless to say they are getting ripped out as asap and back to halogens.
Check that the bulbs are correctly positioned and locked-in to the housings. I have the DDM ones and the beam pattern is fine, and they are much brighter than stock (though I don't like the fact that they are too blue-white, even though supposed to be 4500K). But the bulbs don't sit tight and can wiggle out of position - then the beam messes up. I gotta add another silicone ring to make sure they sit tight.I installed a iJDMtoy 35W HID kit into our non-Tech Pkg...also got no output gain (seems worse, actually) & terrible beam pattern. I haven't tried to adjust/re-aim the lights, but I've never had to on both of my MX5s. Someone else was saying they're gonna try using H9 bulbs instead. Any updates?

Sorry for the necro bump but I just picked up a Volt 6k kit from Xenon Depot http://www.xenondepot.com/H11-HID-Kit-Volt-HID-p/vdp-h11.htm . I found a coupon code and ended up getting them for $79.99 shipped. I'm doing the low beams only but I'll be sure to post up some pics when I'm done. (2013 CX-5 Touring w/moonroof/Bose w/o Tech). Question though, I'm hearing some folks didn't install theirs using the wire harness. Is that really okay or better safe than sorry you think?
I actually ended up installing mine without the harness. I've had them installed a year now and zero issues. I even installed some LED fogs a few days ago, they're great as well.What did you find out? I Recently had my kensun 6000k kit fail on one side. From the beginning, one light would sporadically not power on. It was fixed after I would flip the lights off and on again. Now the driver side light won't power on at all. I wonder if i should get a power relay harness to fix this issue. And probably have to replace the driver side setup too.
