HID Projector Retrofits by garyq

[garyq]

many new cars even pag wala kang tint, ang sama ng output. Pag naglagay ka even ng medium tint, naku 30-40% less na. A lighter tint would definitely help (I always suggest medium lang) but then again many of my clients dont want to be seen inside. Ako personally wala akong tint sa harap. Anyways retrofit + medium tint is a good combo.

Did another Forester FXT the other day. This car comes with stock HID but on reflectors. The stock bulbs is Philips 85122 D2R 4200k and Matsushita ballasts. Definitely better than halogens but this car has only medium tint and malaki na nabawas. So the owner asked me to install Stage2 using the stock ballasts but the bulbs we changed kasi 3 years na rin and meron nang crack yung isa. For those with dark tints, the fog retrofit is very big help. Makapal sa gitna and it really adds intensity. I installed 4 pairs last week and on all retros, very pleased yung mga clients. This Subby is running on Stage2 35w and 70mm fogs 35 also, 4300k.

Also, installed new type of shroud for this Forester:





mahirap fit nung 70mm fogs but we were able to do it



output:

fogs only



fogs and HL, projectors at LO beam



fogs and HL, projectors at HI and halogen Hi is also ON



I would take comparative output shots from the inside next time. Anyways, either you look at this from inside or from the outside, the lighting system is giving out more than 10,000 lumens on the road.

^i think it's time for a lighter tint.

hahaha, actually excuse ko lang yung dark tint para i consider magpa retrofit.

mas mura nga naman mag palit ng tint

someone requested this, my 70mm fog projectors on Pajero FieldMaster



output is the same as the Forester above. Parehong fogs yan

Oooh nice on the FM! That's a perennial problem of that SUV.

Good call on the fogs for dark tints. Dark tints do take away much of the intensity, and the fogs offset that by being low, wide and thick.

When is the next meeting for all the people that GaryQ has retrofitted?

Parang light show.

Paj699: Yup pwede and it will at least double your light output. What model yung Paj mo? Sa FieldMaster swak yung fog retrofit ko.
