Flybye Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 just a few quick ones i snapped off. they arent the greatest but it was cold and i was in a hurry. and i know the fogs look a bit greenish/blue, but its just how they came out? they still need to be adjusted alot aswell. anyways i have 4300k low beams and 3000k foglights http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_0019.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_0020.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_0022.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_0023.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_0024.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 where did you get them. i was thinking about some for my civ..since i do a ton of night driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Those HIDs look great. 3k is supposed to be more of a yellow frequency and depending what direction you see the light from it could change colors a bit, especially if you have projectors.

Skinner Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 looks good I would like to put Hids in the 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 cool, now take them off. Blinding others is not appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadz89GTA Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Unless you got the actualy headlight housings that are designed for hid's your going to be blinding everyone else on the road..I was looking into getting them for my camaro but they don't make a real housing or it so I won't do it, blinding others and causing accidents aren't on my to-do list.

evan9381 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 looks good I would like to put Hids in the 3. its not too bad. we did them on the g/fs 07. the only thing that blows is the stupid retaining clip. i couldnt get it back in with the headlight in the car, so we ended up having to remove the front bumper (15 min) to get to the hidden bolt to remove the whole headlight assembly after that, it was a breeze. if you want to order a set, i can give you a hand getting them in. shouldnt take more than an hour or so. the cutoff is perfect with the stock halogen projectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Buddy of mine gave me a set of HID's. Pretty blue looking. I need the housing first, too as there's no point of having bright lights if you can't aim them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 yellow is best for fogs as ay other color will reflect off of the fog. and yes they can seem a different color from other angles. the low beams i got 4300k becuase they offer the most usable light. i wasnt really going to buy them for the "look" and color. not that i dont like higher kelvin kits. because i have used probably all the ptions offered in previous cars. i just wanted to get the most out of them this time. and to the opnes who think im blinding must not know that i have projectors and have aimed them slightly lower than before. they were still designed for halogen bulbs, but are alot better than any other headlight housing. anyways these will work for now....i am planning a retro fit in the very near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 very nice, I have 8000K in my A4, they aren't the best for visual but I can def. see way better than with the stock halogens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbird Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 8K Holy Ricer Batman Yeeeah...I had 10k's on my old car...haha couldnt see shit. If I ever get em again I'm def going 6k or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 6k with 3k fogs would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 theres a reason that lexus uses 4300k hids and yellow fogs. the yellow light adds depth of field to the white, sharpens edges and the like. i had the same setup in my old galant, and i could see into the future. but, i will echo the sentiment of some others and say that, if you dont aim them correctly, you are a bastard. also, i beleive that the law states that if you do not have a headlight housing designed to run hids (not necessarily a projector) then its illegal to run them. its a nitpicky thing, but they can tag you for it.

I would imagine a cop can ticket you for having a car that did not come from the factory with HID, as the "kits" are illegal. I suppose it would be your job to prove to the court you installed an OEM unit and that your lights are DOT certified. Even with proper aiming in a housing not designed for HID, you will still get glare. Post a picture of your cutoff. It should be well defined, no light above the cutoff. Having projectors already in your housing would definitely make the retrofit a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I hate the lights on my tacoma when I'm out in the back country. I can't see anything about 150 feet in front of me and can not see much of anything at all when in hilly parts of the state due to a major cut off. Probably good that it exists though since half the people on the road flash their lights at it when I've got the low beams on. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured if I ever do do something drastic to it, I might as well get dibs on the plate while I can. Is it just me though, or do pictures always really distort the color of HID's? It seems to me like the color is greatly enhanced when you take pictures or video of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
