bago ako mag hid

[[archie]]

^^ agree! kahit ano pang type na HL housing... basta hindi for HID, glare ba din yan...

kahit separate and low and high... sakit pa din sa mata ng incoming traffic.

i was planning to buy HID for my ride, pero nagdalawang isip tuloy ako since ako mismo nasisilaw sa mga naka HID rin. baka mag angel eyes na lang siguro ako, di ko kc alam kung san makakabili ng projector headlamps para sa fortuner...

[agent_ysann]

double post... sorry po...

if you plan to upgrade from Halogen, be responsible either replace the housing or focus it right so that it wont glare other cars on the road.

tell you what, a young guy driving a "I think newly installed HID" and swing in/out to glare the cars in front of him, I was at his side, on my way back I saw that car surrounded by people, due to curiosity and heavy traffic bec of this, both of his headlight was hammered when parked,

I guess what happen, how about you? ikaw ba yon gumawa? hehe

The HID Faq thread is your friend. Di mo na kailangan mag-search, first page pa lang andun na yun. Sticky pa kamo.

Advantage and Disadvantage ay:

Advantages:
-Improved road visibility (basing from experience)
-8000K - ma-glare (IMO lang a) at walang silbi sa ulan, improvement from stock may or may not be noticed (aside from color)
-6000K - nice daylight color (white), better road visibility compared to 8000K
-4300K - OEM color, best in terms of visibility in all-weather conditions
-Lower wattage consumption (35w as opposed to stocks with average of 50w)
-Longer lifespan of bulbs
-Cool cut-off (if naka-projector retrofit ka);
-Oh, did I say cool?

Disadvantages
-Risks of premature ballast failure for bixenon setups (yung parehong high at low eh HID tapos pinangfa-flash ng driver). If driver is used to flashing his high's to tell the vehicle in front of him to speed up in daytime, sandali lang sira ang ballasts. Magkano rin yun.
-Expensive to retrofit on stock reflector type projectors (KUNG proper retrofitting gagawin mo ah? Kung bibili ka lang ng bulb at ballast eh youre risking your ride to be posted in Goon Squad lalo na kung misaligned pa yung beam)
-Requires a lot of patience in alignment and even perhaps good DIY skills (kaya hirap akong i-align yung sakin ngayon, hirap ako mag-barena ng assembly. haha)
-Consumes additional space (for the ballasts)
-Can burn your electricals (some vehicles will need relays and a fuse to avoid burning your wires on an HID setup)

IMO, whether puti or stock color yan maganda HID as long as properly retrofitted. Pero kung shortcut method ka, just make sure sagad sa baba yung alignment at beam, kasi maganda nga, sabog naman.

IMO, same lang ang Halogen and HID sa ulan, assuming same ang color temp (4300K). 3000k yata ang yellow, which is most effective sa ulan. Di nga lang maganda ang illumination sa dry season. Pero the higher the color temp, the more useless it becomes during rainy season.

to agent_ysann, search ka lang sa eBay.ph. Dami nagbebenta ng projector housing dun. Fort is one of the easiest to dress up nowadays, so surely merong available projectors for it. Try mo rin si Sanny (C34x4.com), alam ko puwede pa-order sa kanya. Meron nga siya projector headlights with angel eyes na eh.

low beam lang naman kelangang naka projector diba?

pag nag replace ng projector HL same parin ba ang ilumination sa harap mo compared sa ilumination ng reflector type aside sa hindi sabog and cool cut off??

hindi ba didilim ng konti ang HL if projector type?

[paolorenzo]

Pag projector type, dapat well defined ang cut-off ng lights mo and focused talaga yung beam. And pag kabitan mo ng HID, high intensity talaga ang ilaw, so mas maliwanag.

Pero kung same halogen rin lang gamit mo, baka mas maliwanag pa nga ang reflector type kesa projector, kasi designed talaga yun for halogen. Kapag projector, dapat kabitan ng HID para meron saysay ang upgrade.

based on my expirience mas maganda ang HID specially 8k sa ulan than higher wattage stock halogen bulbs .. it depends on the housing and type of bulb din kasi .. pag H4 bulb and housing talagang sabog yan .. if separate naman ang hi sa low like sa altis (9005/9006) wich yung isang slot eh designed for low beam and yung isa for hih beam .. much lesser glare sa ganitong types of headlight ..

i dont think so, walang silbi ang 8k sa ulan.. 6k is much better, IMO

[s_quilicot]

i dont think so, walang silbi ang 8k sa ulan.. 6k is much better, IMO

cguro po .. sana maka try pa ako ng ibang car na naka 6k sa ulan .. para ma compare ko ..

OT: glenn 3-1 na pano ba yan?
