Less intrusive HID recommendation?

**JasonMac** · February 22nd, 2009 07:39 PM

I'm looking for a HID for the Ford Escape. I want a good one though, the ones that won't annoy oncoming traffic. I just want enough light, not overwhelming. Kailangan ko ata the whole set, bulbs and projectors ba? I'm totally clueless dito sa HID. Budget ko P14k.

I need one because my night vision is not very good.

Which Escape model do you have? And what type of bulb does it have?

kung less intrusive, malamang less visibility din...

14k, eksaktong pasok na yan sa projector bi-xenon hid kit. may angel eyes pa.

Have you tried lightening your tint to get "enough"?

HID on low beam, yellow or all weather bulb foglight plus neutral tint on windshield = good night visibility.

Don't spend P14K, just remove your full front windshield tint

If you have poor night visibility problem, spend your P14K to correct your eyes. Opinion lang po.

or go for all-weather na lang. HID is really irritating on the road.

narva all weather bulbs sa head light + fog lights

too harsh for a newbie guys.

If the original poster says his night vision is poor, then we answer with regards to that problem... kayo, oh... nag-a-assume na nakatint yung harapan...

If night vision is the problem, then HIDs won't help much without a projector conversion.

HIDs in a reflector-style casing will provide a whole lot of foreground light, but will suffer very poor performance at a distance. In other words, nakakasilaw na sa liwanag yung road sa harap mo, di mo pa rin makita yung mga pedestrian na 100 meters ahead.

What you do is go for yellow all-weather foglights... if you can get HID projector-type fogs, all the better, just have them aimed well... or, for maximum brightness, get a projector conversion for your headlights. It's pricey, but nothing beats a good projector system with good distance lighting and a sharp cut-off (in other words, very little light is scattered at an upwards angle). Kaya lang, you'll have to cannibalize your headlights for the conversion. Try getting yellowish or daylight colored bulbs... as bluish HIDs are worse than useless in the rain.
