Retrofit projectors

That looks sick!
I didn't see an option for the halos or the h1s...

 

Its under the "accessories" tab. The shrouds you go with determines what size ccfl you need.

 

Oh ok I need to look at that I should be ordering them next week when I get paid, and I saw them that they had a 50w 6k option so I'll probably go with that one

 

Stay with 35w. OEM uses 35w for a reason. 50w can cause strain from being too bright and you can't see as well as 35w.

 

Why would they sell the hids with the projectors then ?

 

Well I guess I'll just get a 35w then, I just thought since they would sell the 50w with the minis as a kit it would work with them well ...since I don't think they would sell something that wouldn't last you know?

 

Yeah I have 8k 35w in aftermarket housings right now they're a little too blue, my dad has 6ks in his 2012 mustang I like em a lot better

 

Yeah cause if you go to the site they sell a 50w 6k kit to go with the projectors as a set, thats why I was asking cause if I can get them brighter then why not

 

Yeah...really. There is such thing as too bright. Of course that's not everybody. But there are cases on hidplanet where people addressed that. One of many reasons TRS and Lightwerkz always recommend 35w. The mini projectors are definitely too small for 50w I'd say. I've read of even fxr's getting burnt bowls from 50w.

 

Alright well I appreciate all the info guys I'll go with 35 them, don't wanna mess or burn anything up and have to down even more money , does any one have a pic of the light out put like this ...

 

Nah but I could take one if my gf was home. Here's the mh1's I put in her car.

 

If you want brighter, go with 4300k @35w. 6000k you are loosing lumens for the sake of a blue tint, adding 50w would just bring the light output up to the 4300k benchmark.

The blueish color flicker seen from higher end cars with OEM HIDs is not produced by the bulb color, its produced from the reflector bowl. 5000k, 6000k, 7000k are all hurting actual light output, thats why all OEMs use 4300k

 

Snowman is right. I went from 4300k Philips 85122's to morimoto 5000k and it was a huge down grade. I sold them to buy better projectors so it worked out lol.

 

Wait so the mirimotos aren't that great now ? Lol

 

bulbs and projectors are different topics

 

10k bulbs FTW!!!








heck no.. i run 5k... and thats the max i will run... thinking about dropping to 4300k

 

Oh Lonzo was talkin about bulbs, I thought he meant projectors, I'm not trying to get a bulb with a blue tint I already know that I have 8k right now and they don't bother me abit cause they're freakin bright, but I'm just gonna get 5k 35..

 

How is your lens red?

 

gentlemen, 30k bulbs.

 

i keed i keed


OP, using very high temp, paint the cutoff shield ... requires taking the projector apart
