A feeler about another HID group buy
- Thread starter Ckanderson
- Start date
Will they help me see better at night? A friend bought some expensive HIDs and they suck. Worse than stock. I am looking for functionality, not looks.
ditto^
i also need new housings since mine are starting to yellow, and i dont like that.
are the bi kits hi and low beam?
whats the difference between the kits besides price?:1zhelp:
do the both offer low beam hid?
how wide is the projectory? how far?
what is the best housing to go along with them?

Yeah I've got a couple questions too. If these are extremely noob, I apologize. I'd be interested in the bi xenon kit. Would I have to purchase two kits if I wanted to do both my Headlights and Fogs? Extremely interested, let me know....

*sigh* too much to comment on here..
The pattern from the HID's will depend completely on the design of the housings you get, get good quality Hella E-codes and you get a nice cutoff. Yes they have high beams (the bulb is actually moved back and forth, hard to explain, but it works)
Yes you would need 2 kits for fogs and headlights.
no projector (well, unless you have a projector housing), it's the bulb with a sheild for drop in use.
You'll have to modify the seals on the back of your fog lamps and headlight housings, and also do some wiring (very easy).
Ckanderson: do you think you could get me some replacement bulbs, or warranty help? one of mine is blown, and I still want 6000K's...
best pic I have right now, doesn't show cutoff, but there is a thread on here with them. I have 3000K fogs and 4300K headlights. Crappy camera, the glare is really nothing like this...

the only reason for them is to have the option of highbeaming those who highbeam you thinking you have brights on... hehe the highbeam is a non hid bulb and honestly i never use mine...
a bird told me HID kits are not legal on cars without projector lenses. anyone to confirm/deny this?
has something to do with beam pattern... there is a warning on most HID kits saying to use the proper housings.. (could always pay the 5 bucks for the ebay projector housings)i did notice HID are insanely bright with my hella housings heh

no, the high beam is simple the bulb moving with the sheild to the other spot where the second high beam filament would be in a normal bulb.
HID's are legal on vehicles without projectors, as not all OEM HID's are projectors (G35's aren't...the new ones are though).
HID's are brighter, and a cleaner light, I love em, but shitty normal DOT housings are NOT the way to go with them. Get the Hella E-codes and don't look back. The E-codes have a cutoff, blinders (DOT's do NOT have this), and overall better quality.
Doward: aren't the stock foglamps H3? Cna't remember, but yes the company makes them as well...
