Is it possible to install HID to my 95 L300 van?

[Babnoy]

I'm a newbie when it comes to car electronics. I'd like to know if installing HID on my 95 L300 van is possible. Please advise. Thanks!

ur l300 van is not equipped with projector type lamps... so it is a NO for me.

Is there no other way to rectify this? I need HID's so I can see better when driving at night.

nope... unless you want to blind other motorists and be featured in the Goon Squad

you can install aux driving lamps instead...

try to remove your dark tint on your windshield

just kidding po! if you don't have a projector type headlamp, eh mangsisilaw ka lang ng kasalubong mo. try to read the FAQ thread re: HID

+1 on toybeats... if you have dark tints up front... remove them. :lol:

So it is possible to install HID in an old running van

Go for it! i'd like to see original HID's on an L300.

it is possible... but as I've said, you'll be blinding incoming motorists and annoy the vehicle in front of you which is just plain irresponsible.

Want to see better at night? First of all, take better care of your eyes, and eat more nutritious food. Second, remove/replace ultra dark windshield tints, if any. Third, just install auxiliary lighting.

Aftermerket HIDs should NEVER be an option, IMO. And they should be banned, period.

*Toybeats: I do not have any tints on my windshield. It's just that I'm sufferring from poor night time visibility due to the degraded performance of my van's headlight.

*Mazdamazda: I know but don't worry, I seldom use the van at night and only use it during daytime.

May I ask if there are other "special" equipment or things needed to do prior installation of HID since i'm using an old school vehicle?

TIA

Yup. It is possible but it will also give you the same result when you upgrade it into a higher wattage bulb. Sayang lang. Ang problema kasi dito ay yung lens.

Here's cheaper solution

1. Replace the lens with a clear type ones.
2. Use an all-weather bulb. Install a relay or upgrade the wiring.

Oh my...you've hit the nail on the head!!! I guess you're right!

[rion]

no offense po, but they are right about HID w/o projector type lamps.

indeed.

MABE you can improvise and fit your van with a light with projector lamp.
or MAYBE you can improvise and make a hole in your bumper, install a projector.

nakakasar din yung white bluish bulbs without HID peru always naka high.... dahil mahina sa kanilang panignin, peru sobrang liwanag sa incoming motorist.

You could try changing your bulbs to Philips VisionPlus or Osram Silverstars. They're both stock wattage but their light throw's wider and farther. Just right for drivers with poor eyesight.

are your headlights the same as the rectangular sealed beam types? if so then you can buy the semi-sealed beam clear types with h4 bulbs, ito sigurado tataas visibility mo as compared to old sealed beam lamps.

Hi BB! Yes you're correct. Where can I possibly buy this clear semi-sealed beam with h4 bulbs?
