New HID Retro Group Buy Thread

Just got everything done and aimed...will post pics tomorrow

 

its over as of Friday i believe

 

looks good! any other better pictures? what paint did you use(satin black)?

 

I have talked to quite a few people that have used the mini's that don't have any issues with wobbling. I don't think epoxying it will cause any issues either

 

Nah ill get better pics tomorrow. That was just a quick snap before I had to go to work. Yes I used satin black and preburned everything. And it made a HUGE difference.

On a side note.not really impressed with the light output. I have to turn my fogs on to see good. Anyone got any ideas? Im wondering if its because of the bulbs (4300k)

 

4300k have more lumens than 5000k or 6000k. More lumens = better light output(brightness). Are you disappointed with your kit?

 

thats what i was thinking when i decided to go with 4300k. i had 5000k in my oem headlights and they were waaayy brighter. now i know that could be due to having HIDs in the reflector bowl but the only thing i can think of that would cause the retro's to have poor light output would be the bulbs. unless there is somthing more technical that is wrong in which case i would have no clue what it could be

 

Could you take some night inside car pictures? To get an idea of what they look like.

 

yea...be right back...

 

for some reason i couldnt get a good pic, i post the one i did get. close objects arent bad. if i pull up to a wall or close to trees or bushes i can see fin. its while driving with nothing in front of me that im getting the poor output. you can see in the pics a little its almost like in the center where the 2 beams meet there is a black circle...

 

low beams,


high beams,


high beams with the flash on my phone to show what i mean by the black circle in the middle,

 

That sucks! I haven't received my kit yet, but now i am thinking about not doing it. Anyone else have visibility after this mod?

 

Is that 35 or 55 HID?

 

dont get discouraged from my experience. but mine are 50w

 

Double check everything cause the photos on the website and the HIDplanet forum are far brighter from what you have here.

 

thats exactly why im a bit confused on what the problem is. i was hoping one of the HID specialist on here would chime in

 

I have not installed mine yet but look at some photos I found. Call Matt at TRS, he has been very helpful!

 

Coupon code is still good, but will only get you 15% off. We ended up with over 40 orders!

 

Definitely something wrong here
