reflector retros

what in the hell is that?

 

[gearbox]

i think he means reflector based hid retro. like older maxima, some acura, prius, etc.

 

[gearbox]

that tsx retro is sweet. im planning an a4 retro into halo projectors, and i plan to wire the hi beams to a completely different switch with a universal harness from www.suvlights.com so i can use the hi beam whenever i want.

 

[ferio-moreno]

g35,older acura tl,is300, escalade, those vehicles have hids but dont use projectors, the reflector housing is manufactured differently compared to halogen reflectors.

 

[defvayne]

wow what type of Headlights are those?

 

[spook4thecia]

if people are hi beaming you, then the projectors are aimed too high. i have seen hid projectors that look dimmer from the front than halogen. and all OEM installed hid hardware uses 4100-4300k white bulbs. the blue/purple cutoff comes from the lens where it bends light.

Yup It's due to refraction. Light bending around the the cutoff sheild(?) causes the light right at the top edge of the beam cutoff to spread the spectum and causes blue, purple etc.(picture a prism). Like an Audi or S2K, I f you notice when those cars hit bumps and their light beam go higher than your eyes, you see the white portion of the spectrum even though norally it looks deep blue or purple. The actual color temp (too lazy 2 search) is probably like between 4 and 6K--- WHITE LIGHT! I don't know how many people Iv'e had ask me why their $400 12K HID kits arn't a deep purple and/or It doesn't have any light output. I found this info out with like an hour of research for free

Got any pics of ur retro?? i thought the TSX's where 3100 K

I will take some soon when the heat is gone it's hot in NYC

I don't have projectors I have the bulb and the ballast custom fitted to the stock honda headlight so they are aimed at honda factory setup. The only thing I change was the bulb and added a ballast. I will take photo's and a cut off as well. At first they are crystal blue till they warm up they are a bright as F white.

well then you obviously DONT have a TSX retro.. so no wonder your getting high beamed - s**t is just TOO Bright..it's more bright than it is effective

4k is clsest to stock hids... n e thing over 8k is a waste of money and light

12000k ---------- what the hell are you talking about, did you mean 12k or 12,000,000 (12 million) i don't even know what you are talking about, is that miles, how much you paid, temperature, what units are you working in?

12000k = 12000 Kelvin..... NOT 12,000,000...

 

[K2_civic]

maybe you should check your metric system then because "k" means "kilo" for 1,000 and "K" is the correct unit for Kelvin, which is 273°C, and that means that if these bulbs are 12000 Kelvin, then thats 12273°C, which converts to 21,140°F, thats pretty hot, consisting the surface of the sun 9900°F (5500°C), and you have these headlights in your car? Wow, thats pretty amazing, are they hot?

dude, are you a virgin?

 

[K2_civic]

not even close, perhaps the word you were looking for was brillant or even moderately intelligent because if you can't do that simple math, then you must be retarded, was 9th grade that tough?

 

[K2_civic]

aside from me being a d**k, did you just post some pics of your car, cause i really like the two tone paint, nice job, they compliment each other well, i always said that it was impossible to make 4 door look clean, but you've far surpassed my thoughts, nice work

yeah man, like Daniel said...its not a complete retrofit...you must have the HID projectors along with the HID bulb and ballast..
