HID Xenon Group Buy Round 1! Ends 12/12/10

Get some baby!

 

wow, thanks, you made my night! that was comical

 

I installed some 8000k HIDs over the weekend... They look great, the only issue I have is how much light is spilled both vertically and horizontally. I adjusted the headlights to aim most of the light lower, but the problem is still there. The kit I installed is the hi/low kit, which actually has two bulbs next to each other. I feel like the HID bulb is outside of the spot the bulb is supposed to be, and that's what's causing the light to be less than focused. Anyone know this to be the case? If so, would a bi-xenon or low beam only xenon kit be the solution? If not, would I have to cough up the money for a set of projector headlights? I have a hard time enjoying the lights because I feel guilty about blinding people.

Ideally, I would like to have that perfect horizontal cutoff line where there isn't any light above it, and not too much light spilled to the side either. What I would like it to look like: http://media.photobucket.com/image/projector%20hid%20light%20line/timpulse03/hidcutoff.jpg

 

Got mine in the mail yesterday but its a christmas present from me lady so she says no untill christmas untill th install!

 

Sounds like you need the little extra Projector kit.

 

Actually, I found a thread about using aluminum foil to adjust the light dispersion. I just need about an inch wide strip of aluminum foil to go underneath the bulb. That way the light won't go straight to the bottom of the lamp and reflect upwards like it is now. However, the strip has to be far enough away from it to not affect performance. Might take some experimenting. Here's the link: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthre...nd-usdm-light-pattern-conversion-127120.html?

 

Got mine installed today! Bright and easy to install! Took about 45 minutes! So much brighter than stock. Next up FOGS!

 

Well today I hit my fog light switch and only one powered up had to do it again for them both to power up....

Anyone know how to fix that or is it normal?


No problems yesterday at all

 

Wow, that seemed slightly uncalled for. Just saying... seems a little over the top for a GB thread.

 

MERRY
CHRISTMAS!

 

INSTALLED! 5000K

 

Im getting my headlights next!

 

How do you like the visibility of the 5000k, I got the 6000k and am still getting used to driving with it, almost too much blue, havnt decided if i like it yet, might switch bulbs, just wanted your 2cents. They are def bright as shit tho! Prob just end up keepin these in until one blows. Prob upgrade the fogs to HID's next to match.

 

Well, I installed them the day before I left to go on a trip and we didnt take the truck so I'm not real sure on brightness at night while driving but I turned them on in the drive and they were bright as shit! They are a pure white color. I'm doing the fogs in the next month or two. But I'll let you know when I get back how they are driving.

 

Well i Have the 6k on my fogs, all jokes aside they are brighter then my regular headlights I almost dont need to turn on my headlights.....

Only reason for headlights is to see that extra 40ft lol

 

After seeing this i wish i would have stuck with the 5000... I switched to 6000 cause i thought 5000 would look too much like factory... Guess not.. LOVE IT MAN! I'm sure i'll enjoy my 6000's!

 

just got mine this afternoon before we left on our "get away from the family" trip. havent had time to take any pics but i will when we get back. now i just have to remove the haze from my lens. now to find the 3m kit
