HID's

they make every thing so clear at night

but i'm bafeld on why one is producing and angeled line and the other is producing a flat line any one know why this is

 

To light up road signs

 

how much did they run you?

 

really

i thought about that and found it convenient but i was thinking that it was weird

that and i never thought that some one would even consider doing that

 

got them off ebay for 9.99 and 26 bucks shipping

 

o they even have a bilt in city light thats bule i haven't wired it in yet going to finde out if its leagel

 

then they arent real HIDs

 

you shure they look like hid's bulb and hte light that they put out there H4 xenon hid light bulbs

 

They look like some H4 Xeons. I just recently bought some...

 

True HIDs are a round chunk of glass and don't really have a replaceable bulb, look at any new luxury car and it'll most likely have them.

 

they look like the halo bulbs that my friends dads lexus has

 

They look a bit like the headlight in this auction right?

 

yep

 

Yeah, those are H4 Xeons, not "true" HIDs. Work just about as well though, I love mine.

 

ann who cares if there true HIDs they do what HIDs do and thats all that matters

they make it safer to drive at night thats what counts

 

cheap bulbs (not saying yours are) can pull too much current throught the stock wiring and catch the wire on fire.

 

my voltage gauge runs maby 1/4th of a volt lower then it did before and thats with and with out the brights on

 

I see. I got my Silverstars yesterday too but I haven't had a chance to try them yet.

 

only thing i am confused on is they came with a city light a little blue bulb in the lamp dont know if its legeal and dont know ware to hook it in to and i really dont want to splice wires

 

Ill put up pics of my setup once i get my housing in. They were 40 dollars each, but I thought they were 40 for a pair so....yeah. Gotta wait a few more days. NOOB!!! I'm also using the Pias super xtreme bulbs. This gets expensive But better than 500 for hid.

From looking at the housings they are worth the money. Soooo nice.

 

hmm question since i cant see my head lights from teh out side wile i'm driving do they flicker blue and whit when you hit bumps like HID's do ?

 

I've got real HID's in my FC - they ran me about $300 (shop discount hehe). My kit is a 6000K temp and I believe it's a phillips kit. Installation was very very easy - the toughest part is figuring out where to mount the ballast and ignitor but there is plenty of room and the wiring harness is generous in length.

I used the kit in conjunction with Hella offroad H4 housings and after proper aiming I was very very satisfied. I'll never go back to a halogen again, I even got a kit immediately after for my Galant VR4 daily driver. I've had Piaa Superwhites and Polarg "HID" bulbs and they don't even begin to compare.

It's been 2 years and I haven't had any problems with either kit - the only downside to the kit on the FC is that you lose the brights. This wasn't a problem on my VR4 since the bright is a seperate bulb

 

Losing the brights sucks, you also lose the FTP too, right? Not that many people use those either...

The blue "city" lights that come with the housings need to be spliced into the park/side marker lights, at least that's what I did. I was happy with the lighting of these cheapies, but after parking outside for a while one of them filled up with water.

I got real nice lights for my FB from rocky road 4X4 outfitters, they have a 15 degree angle cutoff to the right. It makes it easy to see anything on the right side and up ahead, but won't blind oncoming traffic. I'm getting the same ones for my 'vert, but they're about $120 for the lenses and bulbs, so I'm holding off on that until I get some other stuff done first.

Here's a pic of the cheap ebay city lights on the lamps in my 'vert. A ricer mod at best.

 

Please type in english.

 

probably because they were $9.99 from Ebay and not of the best quality
