H.I.D ques

[Chico]

i was jus wonderinwat cars have hids that will fit into a gen 3 camry bc i have a hookup and i could get them free and they wont be stolen which is the cool part aside from being free

[djkow]

hmm yes i'm interested in knowing this as well

[[SMAN]]

there is no direct plug and play HID fit, what is recomended, if you don't have projectors is to get a set of d2r bulbs, so most acura and lexus cars have those kind of bulbs as well as some infinitiy. Basically, if it's luxry, and they don't have projectors, thats the HIDs you want. and if you can get em for free, hook me up with a set!

You need to have the HID bulbs adapted to 9006......email me if you need this done.

so to put HID's, all that is needed is to retrofit the bulb onto the stock socket? or would i need to get a whole new head light "unit" (crud jus blanked out and forgot the word for that part haha -___- )

No, you dont want to retro it into the socket, you want to put the HID bulb into a 9006 base so that it can just twist in and out of the headlamp. It requires no altering of the actual headlamp.

I can rebase 9006 bulbs if you like, just email me.

[djkow]

so would the best way to go buying the stuff from the group buy and having you rebase it?

[thisdj78]

Yeah, for $350 is for a rebased OEM HID kit, so that would be the way to go.

I want to know how the guy at the top gets to have a kit for free, lol.......I hope it's at least OEM replacement quality, because anything aftermarket like 6000k, 8000k, or 10000k is only worth $0 anyway due to the current federal regulations. These vendors are giving that stuff away because they legally can't sell it any more.

[djkow]

haha yeaa...

hmmm is there a real visible difference between aftermarket and OEM ones? i know that real crappy ones you could probably tell the difference right away, but if its of like decent quality could cops really tell whether its OEM or aftermarket? and if a cop pulls you over, how could you prove its OEM since the usual camrys running around arent hids

[02RSX90camry]

on cars with OEM ones, there's usually a DOT sticker.

Yes there is a difference, usually the aftermarket ones come with insane colors like 10000k, or 8000k........the only OEM color is 4100k!! So these aftermarket colors may turn out green, dark blue, or purple like a black light in a club. And because the higher "K" you go, the less lumens output......the light will seem dull, especially in bad weather. Also, alot of the aftermarket kits are made of cheap bulbs which may burn out in less then a year. I've also heard complaints of bulbs being mismatched in color.

There's no way a cop can prove what is OEM or not considering so many cars come with HID as options.......and cops don't carry around lists of whats OEM or not.

But what cops DO look for are those insane colors I mentioned above........4100k is the only color which falls within the DOT guidlines of "white".....anything else stands out like a sore thumb. The color blue you see on OEM is due to shields and reflectors, and shields can be made on your own headlamp as well with a little effort.

Also cops notice glare......but if you have your bulbs installed correctly and build a shield to go underneath it, you can reduce glare.

You can possibly get by without a shield on some bulb applications like H4, 9006, H7, H9 because they don't use the lower half of the lamp to distribute light. The lower part of the lamp is where the glare comes from because light hits the bottom and reflects upward into the air. 9004 and 9007 applications will definantly need a shield because they use the whole lamp for light distribution

Exactly!!!! These are the ballasts that come with the HID Systems I was advertising:



notice the "DOT" on the sticker.
