are you getting hid retrofits?, be sure to get good ballast, hella, phillips etc.
cool yung 7,000k, violet yung color, I have the 6,000k bluish white.

be sure to re-aim your headlights to reduce glare for oncoming motorists.

newbie here,

Regaeding Hella HID, tuminigin ako dito sa Taipei mura na ba yung Hella 4200K H1 is around P18,750 then the Hella 6000K is around P21,750. Im planning to change my projector headlight ng 2002 civic ko. Yung stock na H4 ay sale dito High/Low HID na siya kaya lang medyo mataas pa sa tingin ko price.

feedback naman sa pricing sa nakaka alam, undecided ako kasi kung bibili ako dito or sa pinas na lang,

thanks

[boybitz]

Junk, Hella bulbs and ballast ba yan? Or ballast lang yung hella?
how much nakita mo sa H4 hi/low?

[Ungas]

Try Jetcar along Banawe. Meron silang HID kits for H4 but only functions as low only (no bright function). Better buy the branded ballasts like Philips or Hella. These are the only manufacturers of HID ballasts.

So far I have tried 6000K on rainy nights and it didn't give me a problem at all. Even on offroads and dusty trails, it did penetrated enough for 200 meters or so.

[1D4LV]

question lang. kung papalitan ko ba yung stock headlights ko to HID, do i need a new wiring for that tsaka relay?

[Ungas]

Nope, you won't have to change them. HID kits should be equipped with their own wirings for power and distribution. The HID kit will only use your existing headlamp harness for the on/off & hi/low beam controls.

[boybitz]

Ungas,
pwede na ba yun LOW beam lang for a daily driven car?
Dito naman sa atin naghihibeam lang kasi medyo madilim yung road
if the HID can light the road ahead enough naman then no need na for HI?
And u mention about sa ballast, wat about the bulbs? ok naman kahit hindi hella yung bulbs?

[Ungas]

boybitz::: Pwede naman, actually hindi naman magbabago ang light alignment ng headlights mo. HIDs will only intensify the light emitted by halogen. Mas maliwanag lang sya. At huwag ka umasa na malaking maitutulong ng high beam ng HID. Hindi sila pareho ng halogen na malayo ang nararating. HIDs on high beams reach the same length as your dims, just a much more broad light compared to low beams. Believe me, you will need hi beams and HIDs don't offer that much of help.

With regards dun sa bulbs, marami na kasing gumagawa ng iba't-ibang brands ng HID bulbs. There are Japan and Taiwan brands which would cost less than Philips brand. I haven't used any other brand than Philips so I can't compare them.

[Junk]

boybitz,

YES, hella bulbs at ballast na siya. Mura na ba? yung Hi/Lo abot ng 36T

[Ungas]

They are almost the same price sold in autolamps-online at other shops in Banawe. Price range is from 32K to as much as 40K for a whole kit. The HID bulbs costs 18K in Banawe.

[boybitz]

ok na yata prices ng natanungan mong H4. Nagpahanap din ako sa taiwan before close to P30 thou yung 6000k.
Jetcar sells them at 32k yata hindi pa Hella, pati ballast daw yata hindi Hella.
If real deal yan and hindi drawing tipong nakita mo na yung actual merchandise and hella naman nakalagay, good deal na siguro yan.

ot, hirap kayo tawagin by your names, isang junk tapos ungas. :mrgreen:

[Ungas]

If only it would not be a hassle, I could refer autolamps-online. But the problem is their shop is in UK, so returning or swaping the goods would be a real bummer. Btw, the HID kit I got cost me around 34K converted by the credit card company.



Hahaha, :mrgreen: I'm used to people call me Ungas. No harm done from this side. :D

[boybitz]

waaahh... ang mahal ah. wala ng duties and taxes yun?
if ever ipacargo ko tong HID from taiwan, may kaso kaya yun? D ba this kit looks like a bomb pag inexray.

[Ungas]

Meron pang taxes yun! You better ask the shipper to declare it under USD100 value to be able to get an exemption from our local tax. Normal tax of the HID kit cost me 3K++. Pwede naman ipacargo yan as long as it is declared the real items, walang kaso dun.

[ch0k0y]

me naka try na ba sa inyo ng OSRAM HID's?

[Ungas]

Osram and Hella ballasts are produced in one same factory. They just place their own brands before being shipped out to the consumers and retailers.
