HID Projector Retrofits by garyq

[Mguy]

Pwede naman ata lagyan yan ng plug and play HIDs. Pero di same ng 4WD yung output.

Yung 4WD ko naka HID na nga. 3 lanes yung coverage ng light.

I wonder kung pwede in fit yun 4WD HID into the 2WD projector assembly. Mag-i-inquire nga ako sa CASA. Malamang mahal ito.

Mguy: sent you a PM. Let me design and retro your headlight and it will match the performance of the crv 4x4 at a fraction of the casa priceI can even retro a system that will surpass the 4x4 hid of the CRV.

My latest FD project: FXR, Philips 85122+ 4300k, Cayenne shrouds, Matsushita Ballasts and custom amber cree LED sidemarkers.

OK guys eto na actual road shots ng bolt on projector ko. all settings ng cam the same and basically pix were taken minutes apart. I am getting suprised by this projector everytime I test it. The bowl is smaller than the fxr but the output is even better in some aspects.

bolt on projector (bop), non-oem bulb,35w slim ballasts, center



fxr, philips 4300k,35w slims, center



as expected the foreground lighting of the BOP is more intense as the output is thicker (as shown in the wall pix), the output of the BOP is also whiter and even if the non oem bulb is rated at 4300k, I think it is closer to 5000k-5500k. The fxr has its distinct two thick "ray guns" (old skul term) projecting down the road.

Tried to overdrive the bulbs using 55w ballasts and here are the results:

bolt on projector (bop), non-oem bulb,55w slim ballasts, center



fxr, philips 4300k,55w slims, center



In the long term, the Philips can handle the 55w ballasts better and the increase in the surface temp of the fxr is negligible. The increase in the surface temperature of the BOP is more noticeable. Please also note that whiter color has less performance sa road. Whiter output washes away road details and puts more strain sa eyes.

My verdict:

I am going quad sa EG ko, will maintain my FX sa outer and install H1 sa inner. Why? I want reliability sa main lights ko as I dont want my lights conking out in the middle of a provincial trip which I often do. But I want optimum lighting na without spending an arm and a leg so BOP ako sa inner with 35w lang which I think is more than enough but then again.....hehehe.

If you are on a budget and want to use HID properly without glaring other motorists,use my bolt on projector. I would expect the setup to perform very well in 2 years. The bulb will color shift by then but I will provide very good discounts for those na magpa retrofit sa akin (for ballasts and bulbs)>>discount applies only for those na ako ang magretrofit. My bolt on setup is a little more expensive than banawe type na trabaho but its properly made with oem spec wiring harness and even oem headlight sealant. Eto yung FXR performance on a budget with one year warranty. Best value setup right now. This outperforms the G1 by a mile and the G3 by a half mile, hehehe.

If reliability is important for you (4-5 years of uninterrupted use)then go for my oem setup. The FXR/Philips has more crisp output and sharper cutoff and it will perform the same throughout its lifetime. My FXR package is more expensive than other setups coz I use Philips bulbs and oem ballasts with oem spec wiring and oem headlight sealant. Pati cover sa likod oem ang dating.

Now if you have separate LO and HI sa hl like the FD, CRV, Escape, Forester, etc ......go for the quad! Wala ka nang hahanapin pa hehe

Hi! can you send me pic of your quad setup for your EG? May I also know the price. Thanks.

Hi Sir Garyq, that's my ride you featured. Thanks for the nice job. As expected, the light output is impressive. My son said the bluish band on the upper edge of the cut-off line is "cool"!

To fellow tsikoteer:
Its the first time I installed HID on my ride and I decided to do it the right way. Simply means, complete HID projector retrofit (against plug and play). This way, you get a nice cut-off and in spite of the improved lighting, you don't cause annoying glare to opposite driver.

flyingtoolow: your cool man! thanks for trusting me with your montero sport.

car painter: look muna for an aftermarket clear lens headlight tapos kung meron pde natin retrofit yan. will pm you. email me nalang info*gpglobalph.com
