glen,wat socket ang palit mo? mine is ipf with ballast 17-/1110w. low beam kaya but kung hi beam for long periods of time, nakakatunaw ng socket.

[KCboy]

glen,wat socket ang palit mo? mine is ipf with ballast 170-/1110w. low beam kaya but kung hi beam for long periods of time, nakakatunaw ng socket.

[GlennSter]

Nag paunta ako dyan sa xenon bulbs sa araneta ave. Nag inquire ako kung magkano ang kailagan kong Xenon kit, abot sa 30K kumpleto na daw including labor. Namahalan ako kaya nauwi nalang ako sa "PHILIPS DIAMOMD VISION. H4" 1,300 sa Banawe.

nasa banawe ako kanina all afternoon looking for white lyts for my altis 04.. hirap pala maghanap ng hb4.. anyway, napansin ko din yang philips na yan.. there were three that i saw..

blue vision = forgot ilan kelvin.. pero ndi white.. 950 lowest price na nahanap ko

crystal vision = may 4000 kelvin may new na 4300 kelvin.. 1250 lowest price..

diamond vision = kung ndi ako nagkakamali, 5000 kelvin to.. can any1 confirm?? wala ako makitang ganito na HB4

after spending 5 hours sa banawe, wala akong nahanap na white lyts na pede sa altis.. yung reybrig lang kaso aakyat ng 3 thou .. may alam ba kayong mas mura?

another question, yung diamond vision ok sana, kaso wala akong makita na HB4.. cbi nila wala daw ginawa philips na ganun.. can any1 confirm?? THANX!

hmmm philips diamond pinaka ok na alam ko.. 4000 kelvin.. may 4300 din ata pero mahirap ata hanapin or baka walang HB4.. 1250 cheapest nahanap ko nito.. meron pa cguro mas mura.. medyo mas yellow cya.. may alam ba kayong white tlga? tipong 5000 kelvin? reybrig lang ok na nahanap ko pero 3k yun.. butas bulsa..

[poyang]

sorry for the double post.. nag ka error e..

mali din yung previous post ko.. crystal vision pala yung medyo may pagkawhite pa.. yung diamond white na ata tlga e..

madami kaming pinatest na bulb kanina.. pero sa lahat yung crystal vision yung medyo white na nasilawan ako.. yung iba kasi feeling ko parang pag nakakabit mukhang mahina.. balitaan mo na lang ako alvin..

Sir Ungas/tsikot brods,

I have Both the D2S and D1S,D1R HID bulbs and their ballasts. I am planning to install this to my car but I am not sure of doing this for the follwing reasons:

1. I can not install it directly to the Headlight assy -- this is probably where I need the "adapter" you mentioned below or I need a new sets of headlight assy just to have this installed. Is there such an adapter as H4-to-D2R (or H4-to-D1R) adapter ?

2. Assuming i can have H4-to D1R/S adapter. The ballast is 35 watts only so I don't need install relays for this and these HID's i got has only single beam. Ths will confuse me how I will do my wiring as the ballast has only (+) and (-) terminals, should I just float my existing High Beam terminal?

I would appreciate any input you may throw in this.

Thanks in advance.

What I mean by 4000K - 6000K are color temperatures of light it produces not the actual price. HID kits are composed of ballast, bulbs and adapter kit for your headlight. Afaik, there are only two manufacturers of HID bulbs and ballasts, these are Philips and Hella, though the latter still buys ballasts from Philips to include them in their own package. A D2S or D2R bulb alone costs Php15,000-20,000. All kits are defined by what adapter is needed for the installation, basically plug ang play kits. Banawe shops do carry HID kits with H4 adapters.

Don't be mislead by HID imitation halogen bulbs. Maybe this is what orly_andico is indicating? High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs and Bi-Xenon gas charged are the same. They use D2S or D2R gas charge bulbs which is a big difference compared to halogen bulbs which use filament heat to produce light.

A D2S or D2R bulb alone costs Php15,000-20,000. All kits are defined by what adapter is needed for the installation

- There are adapters that will fit to common bulbs sold. Ranging from H1 to H7 even HB4 or HB7 headlights. Mas mahihirapan ka maghanap ng headlight assembly na magkakasya ang D2S or D2R bulbs, unless may bi-xenon lenses or assembly na gawa para sa modelo ng sasakyan.

- All HID ballasts are 35watts only, because the xenon gas charged bulbs are 35watts and not the same with your common halogen bulbs that has 100watts or higher. Afaik, the existing harness that came with the HID package should be enough to sustain the electricity it needs to operate. No need for relay upgrade, simply because it doesn't need one. Fusible links and existing fuse should protect your xenon charged bulbs from current surges.

- The adapter should have the extra wings to be able to use bright function, these wings will disperse more light rather than containing it. All D2S or D2R bulbs are single contact and will remain 35watts during operations. IF your adapter doesn't have the appropriate wings, then your existing kit should be operable on single beam only at low beam and no bright function. Unless your vehicle has quad bulb assembly which the inner bulbs should serve as your bright beam.
