Hid Choices On China Or Germany

[chiksluvit]

i see..

thanks, that answers my question..

i guess thats why on the r34 with HID as standard, they're designed to keep the low beam on when the high beam's turned on...

i think i'll just keep it as is then... no HID for me

whats wrong with HID conversion?

i think they are a good upgrade... but thats up to you...

some people dont care about flashy things on the car

hrm HID is nice and pretty but if it's not going to last longer than halogen then i guess i'd just pass it... say if the ballast blows because of the hi/lo beam switch reason then the replacement cost is pretty high...

plus i'd have to adjust my headlights lower so it won't glare oncoming traffic... but that reduces visibility

theres a fix for the hi/low beam switch problem your talking about for 33's atleast (and i dare say for 32's aswell).

I've rewired my headlights so that the low beams dont actually turn off when i go to highbeam, so on high beam all 4 lamps are lit.

So while the high beams might suffer from a slightly higher failure rate due to flicking on off, the low beams should avoid the issue.

the howto for this mod is somewhere in the diy section, cant recall the link but do a search for "dual headlight" and it should come up.

As far as colour goes, i purchased mine of nyt and after speaking to him i went with 6000k and 8000k, which is "damn white" and "damn white with a touch of blue", both from the "goddamn bright" collection. From what i've been told the light penetration actually drops after about 8000k, so it goes bluer but dimmer if you will (if you like the colours nyt also sells 12000k, which is purple). Given the problems you might face with legalities of HID's i'd go 8000k max as any higher will not only stand out due to brightness, but also due to it being a funky colour.

hey guys thx for the tip,

I wanna get two different colours to make it look like white and purple.

so i should get the kits that's 6000k and a 10,000k?

Plus the link i just put up only stock 6000k.

Anyone know a good china made band for more bluer colour?

Thank you
