hey guys what do you think? these are 6000K im thinking of going for 8000K for more bluish lights. but then i loose visibility

Just FOGS on

Both on

how do they look lighting up a wall? they look pretty glary, get some projector lenses to focus the light at the road and out of other drivers eyes.

projector lenses are Very expensive! i allready paid $400.00 for 2 HID kits

WOW you way overpaid man!

HID kits go for under $200 all the time on and off ebay! wait why did you buy 2 kits? a kit should be for both sides.

J.relax · 12-08-2006, 10:33 PM

the total was like 385$ i just call it 400 nad i got a kit for headlights and a kit for the fog lights. NOT on ebay these are authentic Phillips ballasts too

Bitter · 12-09-2006, 07:32 AM

well thats too bad, since even the phillips are made from chinese parts, the same chinese parts that the ebay ones are.

you paid a premium price for a name.

Hey J.relax how did you get the fog lights to be on with the parking lights and not the headlights. What wiring did you do for that?? Can you point me in the direction to how to do that. I tried searching but didn't find anything.

***REN69*** · 12-09-2006, 03:48 PM

Stick to 4000-6000k anything after 6000k is practically just for show... and making people in front of you have accidents.

i followed the directions here http://matrixowners.com/forums/lofiv...hp/t31171.html

i know this is for a matrix but its the SAME EXACT wiring. and i still havent disabeled my DRL's though. been putting off cuz im driving with 1 click on the E-Brake and that works just as well. i used the same connectors as the pic i got them at Walmart for like 2$ for a pack of 10.

and Bitter i tried looking for Projector headlisghts with 9006 socksets and there are none so if i get one i would have to switch my HID Kit which is not logical unless you know where i can get 9006 Socket Projector Headlights

Bitter · 12-10-2006, 12:38 PM

no, you just splice in new connectors on the end. every aftermarket projector i've seen uses H1 or H3 sockets.

boopie · 12-10-2006, 11:15 PM

Thanks for the help J.relax. I'm gonna go try and look for those wires now. I have a 03 so I would think that it would be the same.

J.relax · 12-11-2006, 11:56 PM

boopie: yeap should be the same.
and
bitter: i found some with H7 bulbs but i still need to get new H7 HID bulbs which are about $90 each. not worth it

Bitter · 12-12-2006, 10:18 AM

can you take a pic of the lighting pattern at a wall from about 20-30 feet or further. hopefully there isnt alot of light above the level of the hood. a mean police officer could pull you over for blinding him and other drivers, i forget what the ticket is.

calnra · 12-12-2006, 10:00 PM

please don't drive with an HID with the housing of a holagen bulb. the glare is terrible for the people on the road and a quick way to get pulledo ver for a fix-it ticket. I saw a Prelude today with after market non-projected HIDs installed and I wanted to punch the guy for bliding everyone within a
180 degree area.

J.relax · 12-13-2006, 02:18 AM

nah i aimed both lights down to avoid that. but i sorta want to aim it back up so i can see further away on the highway.

and no theres no light above the hood at 25 feet. but i really do wish i had researched more before i got these. i would of got h7 projector headlights and an h7 hid kit instead of this.
