February 2nd, 2009 09:52 AM #31ask lang, kahit ba naka-low beam nakaka silaw pa din ba? never had experienced using HID pa kasi, and im plannin to buy one, ng hahanap hanap din ako ng mga review's ng better visibility, at the same time panlaban sa mga gung-gong na driver na laging naka-high beam.

yes, the chances are high on reflector halogen headlights.
if you are on reflector headlights, it is unlikely to dazzle them on high beam because the HID takes about 5-10 secs before the bulb lits up 100%.
A bi-xenon headlght does not do that. all it takes is the cutoff that is switched by a solenoid, to move away to make a high beam. making it even faster than halogens.

kung bi-xenon projector po yung headlight, ok po yun. but the price will be atleast 14,000-up. or you could get a projector headlight assembly. yung salpak nalang na headlight, then get a HID kit.
bi-xenon Projector low to high beam video:
this HID has recently been used. if the bulb is not warm, it would not lit that fast... and this is the fast way to flash high beam on HID since there is only one filament per bulb.
sample of bi-xenon:

Having HID lights installed in one's car is only advantageous on the part of the driver using it. However, as regards the other road users, it is disadvantageous. Why? It is due to the fact that the visibility of the other motorist on the opposite side of the road is greatly prejudiced. It causes too much glare, which, in effect, raises the propensity of figuring in an accident. Aside from that, it is very annoying.

Very well said mein freund!
I have questions though.
1. Is it true that winking (pagbati using headlights) is a no-no for HID? Since this powerful and all.
2. I'm assuming that HID eats up battery power quicker, since they are awfully bright.
I have 99 Galant VR V6 , and the lights are very low! I think no one will be offended even if I used the HIGH BEAM! I had passenger once who even told me to open the my headlights, when in fact it already is! What an insult! That is why i'm planning to buy 'em HIDS! But my wife thinks otherwise. Any of you guys know a place for cheap HID's? With good quality of course!

February 22nd, 2009 08:27 PM #391. Flashing(winking) is a no-no for HID. Not that its powerful, but it's because of the gases inside the bulb. Too technical to explain. hehe And it would also ruin your ballast.
2. As far as I know, this is the common misconception when it comes to HID. HIDs(most of them) are rated at 35watts so compare that to your stock 55watt halogen bulb, it should consume less power. But there are 55watt kits available.
Regarding your headlights, I used to drive the same car as yours and have full windshield tints. Never had a problem with the visibility. I find the light sufficient(not bright but sufficient). Your problem may be any of the ff.
1. Type of bulb, I would suggest getting Philips X-treme Power or Osram Night Breakers. They are brighter than stock bulbs but have the same wattage so no upgrades needed.
2. Your problem might be with the headlight assembly.
-Could be that the reflectors and glass are already dirty and needs to be cleaned
-Misaligned beam. Try to check whether your headlight is properly aimed.
3. As far as I know your car comes with fog lights. Check whether they are in good condition and if they are, try using stock bulbs or better than stock bulbs and that would really help.
