    560/520W?!? Meron ba ganyang kalakas na bulbs? Baka pati housing at wirings mo masunog na kung ganyan kalakas.

    Afaik, HID kits or any xenon gas charged bulbs for that matter are only 35W max. Wala po itong bright or dim wattage.

    Baka po over rating yung naka-sulat nun sa package. You will see the actual wattage either on the side or behind the box. Para mas sigurado, dun mismo sa bulb base nakasulat yung wattage.

    DC.org EB will probably be set on the 24th of July. :D

    as far as i recall, imaraming kailangang gawin to convert our heaadlights to HID. i am just not sure what has to be done.

    anyone with more info on this?

    i even read somewhere that in the final analysis, it might be cheaper to just get driving lights na separate instead of going with HID headlights.

    i don't know if this is tue, but this is what i will be doing

    It's not as complicated as you think. Simpleng plug and play lang ang HID kits. Usually may sariling wiring harnesses ito (based from experience sa Philips brand).

    Power cords, fusible links, additional relays are attached into the package. Ang hiwalay lang yung ballast plug which is connected to HID bulb. Ang gagamitin lang sa existing headlight wiring ay yung female socket ng headlight, which is connected to the main wiring harness and box. Then you could simply control the on-off switch inside your cabin. Some kits are sold with hi-low attachments which also utilizes the same OE bright function.

    Basic rule, if you know how to follow instructions, that will be an easy thing to do. Para lang kayong nagbubuo ng puzzle. All kits should come complete with instructions. :D

    luckytruck::: Landed cost nung HID kit ko from UK is around P35k all in including taxes and air freight.

    PajHERoY::: The HID kit color temp I have is 6000K, dati naka 4500K ako. Binalik ko yung buong kit sa UK (defective ceramic bulb holder). Nung papalitan nila nagrequest ako na gawing 6000K which they happily obliged. Ang pinakamagandang gamitin kapag umuulan sa asphalt ay 4500K-4800K which is the closest color temp to the Sun which is 5000K. Yung 6000K medyo hirap na rin ako gamitin, mas lalo pa siguro yung 8000K.

    precisely sir ungas. in my case, for a gen2.5 pajero na naka 6k na color temp, medyo hirap nga sa ulan. the next logical thing to do would be to upgrade the stock h3 driving lights to a more all-weather type na bulb.

    Yellow bulbs talaga ang may silbi lalo na pag umuulan, di lang yun, pati sa fogs tumatagos ang light.

    Nasubukan ko sa bundok with low-lying clouds datiyung HID, tumatagos naman kaso nga same color kasi kaya di gaanong nakatulong.

    Change to higher wattage bulbs?

    San po ba nakalagay ang H3 bulb nyo? Sa main headlight housing o sa aux driving lights sa may bumper?

    Siguraduhin nyo lang na glass lens ang kakabitan, at hindi plastic lens. Bumubula ang plastic lens sa sobrang init ng higher wattage bulbs. Trust me, I've been there before. :D

    ungas, it's in the stock driving light location in the bumper. hmm, plastic nga lang yata yun eh. in this case, mas mainam pa bumili ng h3 set? kailangan na rin ba upgrade ng wiring?
    and lastly, what brand ang ok?
