Not gary, but if you're on a budget, yes you can just replace the low beam with HID. Of course, output will not be as bad *$$ as gary's set up.

Wait Lang lets discuss this perspective.

Ok nagiisip kang mag retrofit kaya Lang naka dark tint ka, Baka masayang Lang and you won't get enough lighting. Well it will still be 3-4x more light if you go for a stage3 running at 50w coz through your tints mo pa rin naman titingnan yung output. If you stay with your Halogens 3x less lighting din.

Best compromise is medium tint but yung nga, poor lighting system is poor lighting system and 3x more light is 3x more light.

actually minsan akala ko di pa naka on yung HL ko, kasi parang madilim pa rin yung paligid

maybe it's time to retrofit

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

[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.

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

mas mura nga naman mag palit ng tint

[garyq]

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



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

Medium darkness. Pili na lang if u want black or magic.

Hi Gary, still waiting for your inputs for my possible new project, thanks.

[garyq]

jake: sent you a PM

[jakewise]

I read it Gary, with a reply

[moipogi]

Bossing how much for headlight and fogs for a chevy cruze? Madilim kasi yung stock lights for me. May card payment ka? How long? May 3800k or as close to stock color? Habol ko light output and not porma. Pag white light hirap pag malakas ulan. . . .

[jakewise]

Gary, the 70mm projector can fit both the HL and the foglight?

[garyq]

pang foglight lang yun. walang step and body is semi-sealed. Go first with the fogs if you want and malaki na agad increase sa lighting output mo

[jakewise]

OKay, what does " walang step" mean? What projectors would you recommend for the HL?

[TholitzReloaded]

Hi Garyq,

How much for a projector fogs for 2011 Ford Everest?
