Hid? Has anybody used these?

Seems like a cheaper way than doing the whole projector deal.

 

I've seen them but I've yet to hear a review on them.

 

It'll be the same as buying a normal HID kit from DDMTuning or other places. Those kits are created by transplanting a D2S or D2R bulb and mounting it on a halogen base.

 

Ya, what's the point.
You can do it wrong with a direct H4 plug in, or you can do it wrong with a D2S and this adapter.
Either way you're going to be blinding other drivers.

Do the projector retrofit, or just stick with Silverstars.

 

^^This^^

I fucked up and did the HID in stock lights once. Dick move on my part but I didn't know better until it was brought up here.

 

Same here.
Did it on my Blazer and Suburban.

At least I had the consideration to replace the Suburban's housings with a set that had the glare caps over the burners, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been... but both were bad.

I also have one in my bike. If I ever get it back on the road, it's getting a projector retrofit.

 

I have had the projectors before. The point of these from what I have read from a member on here is that it produces the cutoff without using projectors???

 

impossible. all this does is let you use a d2s bulb with something that's pretty much the same as a h4 glare shield for the reflector housing

you will still shoot light all over the place

 

No, it doesn't.
Not any better than the plug-in hi/lo kits.

The problem is the reflector bowl was designed around a filament, and HIS produces an arc. The arc is not in the correct position to reflect properly.

There ARE OEM reflector-based HID systems on luxury cars. The D2R lamp is used in some of them, but the reflector itself was designed around the HID burner.
