HIDs in Stock Reflectors

Im also going to add that "not being flashed by oncoming traffic" is not an indicator that your lights don't glare especially if you are driving behind the person you are blinding

 

I figured what the hell, my sig is useless ill throw some of that in

 

Yep! Those are the ones!

Osram also makes an 80/85W bulb, but *don't* go for those. From what I hear, they have an extremely short life span and aren't really worth the gain. They probably won't destroy your reflectors, but they *might*, and I believe they are also a little more fragile than the other bulbs.

The Philips Xtreme Power are supposed to be very good also, and slightly less expensive. They are a standard-wattage bulb, and I have not tried them. I think you can get them on eBay sometimes for under $30 a pair. For the price difference on Candlepower, I'd stick with the Osram Rallye.

If you have other vehicles, you could also look into the HIR bulbs. They can be modified to fit in 9006/9005 I think. However, they do not have a glare shield, so make sure you are mounting them in the appropriate housing (if the housing is meant for a shielded bulb it will be as bad as HID). Very cool stuff, they reflect heat back to make the filaments hotter and increase light output.

 

Well shit i orderd me some 35w hi/low ddm 5ks and same for my fogs(Not high an low)... I was under the assumption that i wouldnt have to alter my houseing....

To skip all the bullshit an argueing can someone plz pm me with a cheap way to make they safe for other driver an to avoid the five oh's attention

I do most my driving in the country but just for when i go to town i dont want to be unsafe

Thanks

 

NO

 

both are a problem with alot of trucks. the light pattern is hideous if you have ever seen a decent projector it contains the light sooo much better man.

55 watts is a hot set-up when referring to xenons so heat is probably going to be an issue as well after they get some hours on them.

take it for what it's worth but imo do it right and for a couple hundred dollars of parts you can have better lights by far than anything that comes on any car from the factory. instead of blinding people just enough that they don't flash you lol.

 

stick with a good set of halogen bulbs, a plug and play HID kit is useless IMO, and I HAVE one, hate it, when i have time i'll be taking it out and selling it and going with some osram or philips bulbs.

 

There's no argument. People are just stubborn and want to here the answer they want to hear.

Projector retrofits are the only right way to do HIDs.

Maybe someone can provide a band-aid solution for you in the mean time.
