Bright Idea (56K: WARNING)

[Genuine Rolla]

welp, finally got my HID's and installed them. I put them in my projectors and I'm beyond pleased with the outcome. I got some pics to share, of course but the pics dont do them justice at all...that are really sick and install was so unbelievably easy. anyway, on with the pictures. They are H1 6000K. They are really bright, nice and white. i get a better cut off than i did with halogens. simply amazing. I am still able to use my high beams but...i dont bother because the highs compared to my lows, is like having a single candle in there.

this shot was taken with the car being 5-10 feet away from the wall.

pic of the color

looks good. how much did u get them for?

 

[Szady]

Looks nice mang. They look so much brighter than my projectors. They have the same cutoff/beam pattern, just WAY brighter. No pics of the actual headlights? What about the back-side of the headlight? Im just curious as to how they're installed. Looks good tho. Im'a have to get me a set of dem.

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

nice.... my hid's in my stock headlights have become scatter city...

 

[Genuine Rolla]

dont worry, ima do a write up for it. I installed them early this morning and i forgot to bring my camera with me. I'll prolly take pics tonight. I cant stop driving around now...haha...i keep on saying to myself "wheres a street without friggin street lights" hahaha.

i feel you man hid's are the s**t!


ps.. a writeup for what? other than my hid's having to be wired differently so i can have a highbeam to it was pretty easy

some d00d's wanted to know how they fit in the sonar projectors....the kit i got was real easy to install, basically it was put hid bulb in place, attach to ballast, attach h4 harness to stock harness and then attach the h4 harness to ballast, then turn on the headlights... not rocket science.

I've read alot about problems with hid's and supposed replacement hid headlights not working very well and actually looking worse than stock are not much better. Did you notice a big difference in how easy it is to see? Does it look like it has as much clarity as good hids?

HUGE improvement!! i dont ever use my high beams. I was riding next to a TL and mine were brighter than his. The thing with the HID's i bought, is that the capsule is aligned with their halogen counterpart so that the focal point will be correct. I've done TONS of research about HID's, retrofitting and all of that good stuff. I see so much better....i'll never go back to halogen!

So how much did all that cost? Looks great.

How so cheap? So is that for the full hid kit with everything you need? But you also need projector headlights rite?

 

[Genuine Rolla]

I got the projector headlights about 2 years ago, they worked great and had better light output than stock IMO. I had a chance to upgrade to HID. I did tons of research about em, took apart my headlights looked at the projector, compared it to the other ones out there...figured that these could handle HID. Also, i made sure i got the kit with the correctly aligned capsule so that the focal point would be the same. Just so that everyone knows, they run pretty cool, no where as hot as halogen.

Highneo- sent ya a PM.
