Advantage and Disadvantage of HID Lights

[kulotz]

medyo nalihis ko nga ng sobra inayos ko ng kakaunti kagabi mas okei. 8000k po temp niyan mabangis lang talaga ang kapangitan ng camera ko kaya naging blue haha

[NighthawkGT]

awwww 8000k???

you will be having a hard time driving using that color range.

and when it rains.. its useless na.

when it fogs, you can see pass the fog.

on long drives, its strains your eyes.

believe me, ive been there and done that already

[kulotz]

well its way better compared dun sa una kong bulbs na naninilaw at nanghihina hehe.. no issues with eyestrain sa long drive well sa akin ganun. sa ulan okei rin naman sa fog ang hindi ko pa alam ehehe. magpapalit ako maybe 6000k pag napundi na bulbs.. anyway ano po mairerecomenda niyo? sabi sakin kasi okei daw 6000k me mga naririnig naman ako na pangit daw 6000k sa ibang auto naguguluhan na tuloy ako

wait OT lang kaw rin po ba yung nighthawk sa fcp? haha

[renzo_d10]

Go for 4300k for the headlights and 3000k for the foglights. ;)

[kulotz]

oldschool ang foglamps ko hehe yung malalaki pa ...so siguro hindi ko nalang paandarin yun. hmm so 4300k nalang nga siguro o kaya pag napundi ito puwede rin mag nightbreaker nalang muna ako kasi hindi ko alam papaano ireretrofit ito nakausap ko na actualy si nighthawk (kung siya rin yung nasa fcp na nighthawk) eh ayun nga mejo mahirap tiyempuhan kasi weird design ng headlights pati baka masagwa kalabasan as of now okei naman sa akin yung HID na mejo nakayuko wala naman ako nasisilaw. pero try ko rin nightbreakers baka mas matino buga dahil hindi nakayuko kung sakali harhar:P

[NighthawkGT]

yep! 4300k For the win!!!

[hy-n-dry]

napansin ko lang sa all weather na Bosch Halogen.. lahat ng makasalubong ko na naka high HID na walang pakundangan sa kasalubong.. nagdi-dip sila sometimes pinapatay pa ilaw kapag nag high na rin ako.. sa akin sold ako sa Bosch.. palagyan lang ng harness para kaya ang mas mataas na current..

ang kinakatakutan ko lang sa HID is baka after the warranty masira then papaano na. HID are mostly made in china so i dont think aabot sya ng 5 years lifespan. malamang may masisira dyan, hindi pa naman mura ang ballast or bulbs ng HID, kaya stick na muna ako sa Halogen. mabilis pang i-DIY at wala pang electrical na naggalaw sa auto :D

city driving doesnt necessary need HID, pero aminado ako maporma ang HID.

Yup, most ricer boys opt for 8k hid. Kasi, it's blue hence gives you teh style.

For others naman 4.3k ~ 6k HID helps them see the road esp. at night. Baka kasi, malay natin sa dark roads sila lagi dumadaan.

The best combination of HID's are 4.3k~6k on low beam headlights then 3k on the foglights. Aim it lower than the usual, then you won't be blinding incoming motorists. Just put halogens on high -, if your hl's aren't H4.

Now, if you pass by expressways at night everyday then the best thing to do is have your headlights retrofitted.

[harold13]

ricer ba pag pure yellow?

[renzo_d10]

Pure yellow on what ? Headlights ? No.

Actually, I've seen an Accord ( 00 model ) yesterday with 3k HID's on both headlights and foglights.

Glare all the way I must say and ... it was a bit off since yellow light on the headlights are for old cars. Doesn't look good on -2 decade vehicles. Best still would be 4.3k.

[Starex_Gold]

Pero sa Trooper bagay ang yellow headlights.. Siguro dahil old style yung looks

ngayon iniisip ko kung Osram NB na ba talaga or Stanley Raybrig All Weather..

basta sure na ako sa 3000K HID fogs

napansin ko nga din ito na older cars nowadays are using yellow Headlight bulbs.
im using one on my HL because of good visibility. planning to change pag napundi cuz it's a bit nakakasawa .hehehe. might try the night breaker or HID 6000K. partner with yellow fogs im using now.

[renzo_d10]

Visibility, yes. All weather yan ... it can really help you during the night and on our current season.

Pero yeah ... 4.3k ka nalang. Maulan eh, tho the 6k provides ample light too when rain comes, okay din ang 4.3k.

[harold13]

may 3k ba na HID? ito yung all weather type then yung 4300 ang pure yellow or bapag baligtad ko?

[Starex_Gold]

4300K yung yellowish white. (same color ng HID ng Toyota Camry, Honda CR-V 4WD, Honda Accord etc..

Yung 3000K, pure yellow

[renzo_d10]

may 3k ba na HID? ito yung all weather type then yung 4300 ang pure yellow or bapag baligtad ko?

Yes, meron. 3k HID is yellow. 4.3k is yellowish white then 6k is white.

Yung 8k, bluish white na.

[harold13]

mukhang yang 3K anf next project ko. ayaw ko ng 4300 pala. parang all weather. hehehe

[XxPrelude]

sira tanong ko lang po kung ok lang maglagay ng HID bulb sa HL na smoked? since blacked na ito at nabawasan na yung reflective aspect neto? ganon parin ba ka kalat yung ilaw nun? thanks po

[garyq]

FYI: 4300k bulb ng Philips, 3200 lumens
6000k Philips Ultinon, 2400k lumens. that's more than 20% less light on the road. 3000k will also have less lumens on the road. the closer to 4300k the better all around performance.

balik sa topic:

advantage ng HID, yung tamang HID ok not the pnp china kits

3x more light
minimum glare

disadvantage:

price

you need someone to properly design your hid system to give you also the right advice.
