headlight booster/relay setup - advisable ba?

[paltik]

nakakaapekto ba to sa buhay ng headlight bulb? parang may nagsabi ata dito na mabilis mapundi pag meron nitong relay. nakakalakas daw to ng output (doble ata) ng headlamp. nakakalabo rin ba to ng lente ng headlights? balak ko kasi maglagay nito tapos super white bulbs, para mukhang HID. mahal kasi masyado HID. salamat salamat sa inyow

paltik,
Haven't heard of a headlight booster.
pag nagtaas ka ng wattage ng bulbs you need to upgrade the wires to a thicker one. almost all vehicles have relays installed for their headlights. I have gone from 55/60 OEM to 90/100 with no wire upgrades, but then again this depends on how old the vehicle is.

BTW, are you a member of pinoydvd?

[benchph1]

better opt for an additional engine grounding kit to boost the whole electrical system

[paltik]

meron kasi binibenta dito sa syndrome file car accessories muntinlupa, ang itsura niya parang ballasts ng HID, sabi nung may ari sinasalpak lang daw yun sa stock bulbs. lalakas ng twofold yung output, wala daw babaguhin na wiring, idadagdag lang. ganun pa rin daw yung konsumo ng kuryente.

ano ba yung pinoydvd? hindi ako member nun. ngayon ko lang yan narinig.

thanks sa mga inputs!

[afrasay]

OT - ah ok. if you're into DVDs, pinoydvd.com is a forum about it. may friend ako dun with the handle paltik.

Back to the topic. I guess the ballast will increase the current running to the bulbs hence increasing it's brightness. Increasing the voltage could damage it.

Sir ano po side effect pag tinaasan mo wattage without changing the wire size?? yung akin po kasi tinaasan ko wattage pero hindi ko pinalitan wire.. kagabi ko lang napansin parang na stroke yung oto ko, patay ilaw lahat sa passenger side. :D yung low beam. rear light and foglight.. pag hi beam meron naman saka pag nag break ako meron din.... ano po kaya iyun?

[BlueBimmer]

pwede mangyari matunaw ang headlight socket or pati ung wire..but based on experience dati sa civic vti ko from 55/60 to 90/100 wala nasira, depends on the quality of the wiring and sockets na rin cguro.
ngaun sa bimmer from stock 55w H7 to 100w H7 X 4, wala rin naman nasira, maybe cos hella maganda quality.

gawan nyo lang ng good grounding kit at change harness sa headlight,, mura pa.. dami ko ng nagawan nya.. talagang malakas.. its u to u kung wat kinda bulb ang gagamitin.. pero lalakas.. almost 40% percent.. at ,madali lang yung pag kabit.. eto pic.. nila.

OT: anong un parang maliit na thingy na prang maliit na air cleaner dun sa may upper left ng crank case ng makina???ano use nun?

Ganda ng wires ng grounding kit,takaw pansin.

fastlove:

yung harness mo sa headlight, kit ba yun? or did you get the items per piece? Was wondering where did you find yung male plug ng headlamp. Anyways, did you use only 2 relays for both L/R lamps, or 2 for each?

More info please . . .

guys is it possible na mangitim ung reflectors ng headlight if i wear to change from lower wattage like 55w to higher one like 100w without changing/adding relays? if i do change/add relays will it still damage my reflectors?

[ILuvDetailing]

JV: Yes, because of the heat generated. Also you'd have to change to ceramic sockets so that it won't melt.

so even if i put on relays, yung possible pa rin na mangitim yung reflectors ko?
how much would it cost, yung ceramic sockets?

paltik, kung hindi ka naka 'projector' type headlight:

hindi magmumukang HID ang headlight mo. Unang una, reflector type ang housing ng headlight mo at hindi "projector' type. Makakasilaw ka lang ng kasalubong mo.

Now, about sa ballast na idadagdag sa OEM mo, ngayon ko lang yata narinig yan. sooner or later matutunaw ang wiring mo dahil sa sobrang taas ng wattage na dumadaloy compared to its original specs.

[KCboy]

how much ba muna yung booster nya? kasi me, i got an ipf headlight upgrade with ballst, the wattage of my headlights are 11ow/170w. maliwanag na ito, i only opgraded my socket para sure since malakas n hot kung hi beam ako. it cost me arnd 7k, now if it will be more expensive han 7k, i suggest mag ipf upgrade ka nalang, la na wire upgrade.

sa projector n reflector lamps naman, d mangingitim yung headlights nyo kung glass yan gawa, kung plastic mangingitim talaga.

Ganito ba yung headlight booster? http://www.kennedydiesel.com/detail.cfm?ID=55

[Karding]

sa "kit" na yan kasama na pala ang heavy duty wires, so hindi pala matutunaw.

[Blackbird]

mga peeps, tanong lang...

nagloloko yung right side headlamp ko... paminsan napaka hina ng ilaw (halos wala), BOTH low and high beam. Ok naman yung sa driver side.

naka wiring harness ako with 2 relays. suspetsa ko sira yung isang relay ko... any feedback?

I was wondering kasi kung yung mga wiring harness is wired in such a way that one relay is for the left headlight and one is for the right. OR is it one relay is for low beam and one for high beam?

thanks in advance...

alam ko sa sealed beam type ng headlights (cars nuong '70s) pwede ang relay booster ewan ko sa mga cars ng mid-80's ang above. pansin ko kasi plastic na ang cover ng headlights.
