Planning on getting an HID retrofit

[D3nb3r]

Stage 2 nga from Redline, NHK bulbs. Q5 projectors.

I'm not saying there aren't any HID retrofits stronger than LEDs. I'm saying my 20k stage 2 retrofit is not stronger than my stock LEDs. Retrofitters always market that even their stage 1 retrofits are stronger than LEDs. Again, my personal experience proves otherwise.

Hindi lang clear ang cutoff ng LED, but the illumination both low beam and high beam is brighter than my retrofit.

Then you should have put that on your reply sa comment ko. Yung first question kasi is asking if its led vs hid then you said na mas malakas ang oem kaysa naka retrofit na setup. I wasnt aware that the price is also being discussed I thought this is about performance.
I'm with you na hindi tamang mag claim ang isang retrofitter na mas malakas ang stage 1 kaysa oem led but then again depende din kung anong gamit sa stage 1 ng retrofitter at ano ang specs ng naka oem led HL na kinkumpara ang retrofitted HL.

Any feedback on Chroma Lights Lipa? I seem to see them on fb, quite a lot.

Yep I put that in my first post. 😉



Have a good day. 😊

Wala ako experience sa kanila but parang ok naman yung set up nila. clean and neat. May mga custom jobs din silang ginawa. But this is a new player on retrofitting business sa pinas so medyo wala pang mga detailed feedbacks sa kanila if compare mo sa mga datihan na. Pag maraming shop mas maraming option ang mga tao and in some cases this would be good sa mga gusto magpa retrofit since marami na mga shop so pababaan ng prices. Pero ang trend ngayun baliktad, ang mga shop pataasan pa rin ng mga prices only one thing is common sa kanila, yung mga level of stages ng setup nila. so may option ka kung saan pasok budget mo.

Guys... Search nyo sa FB Ks led or keon sondra...

LED bulb lang pero... mas malakas output sa HID..
Kahit fogs lang palitan nyo malakas na...

Got it for only 5.5k 13200lumens.. !!

Kahit maulan clear pa din....

Kung naka projector ka.. parang laser lights na...

I compared it to my friend na naka HID RETRO.. MAS solid at malakas ang output ng ks sondra...

Even my Club mates is telling me... mas gusto nila output ng Ks led kesa sa expensive HID retrofit worth 45 or 55k?

[EQAddict]

I might try those KS LED bulbs

Damn. Here we go again No offense but one of the purpose of this forum is to promote safety. Nakita ko yung FB page na sinasabi at grabe ang glare ng mga producst nila. Yung iba walang cut off yung iba meron cut off pero kita mo sa glare abot sa taas ng puno. Common guys, this is why led bars and HID is getting a bad rep. Be responsible.

Paps... hindi glaring... at naka low beam ka lang...

On high beam kahit halogen glaring na din... nasa headlight mo yan... wala yan sa LED bulb the led bulb is designed like there are two LED for high and low.... the low beam is position upwards. when you switch to low beam... the upper part LED lang will open... led it will reflect on the upper part of your headlight... when on high lower and upper part ng LED naman will turn on...

Or if ang setting ng Headlight mo naka tingala...



May i ask... naka HID retrofit ka ba?

[glenn manikis]

You said you check the page...

You can see naman the output... mababa.. pag low beam.. pag high beam.. natural lang na mataas... ayun ang glaring... kahit HID retrofit pag naka high beam ka glaring

[JJB]

Basing it on their fb page, mukhang glaring lang ang naka-bowl type na headlights na kinabitan nila. Kung projector, maganda ang cutoff and no glare.

Hi Jut,

Not comparing LEDs vs HID retros, but na try mo na pa check sa redline yung retrofit mo? I am not sure if it is the tint or the cam settings but parang walang cut off & hotspot yung beam? Napansin ko din pala sa redline na naka tilt yun car mo habang ginagawa and may ginagamit lang silang board to level your beam. Yun sa akin pagka retrofit, nakita ko pag uwi na yung left ay hindi pantay sa right beam and pareho silang mababa, so inadjust ko following the guides sa HIDplanet.

Anyway, satisfied naman ako sa gawa nila. Stage 3 pinagawa ko and ang layo ng output niya vs. halogens.

Retrofit vs OEM LED







Kahit sino tumingin, mas malakas LED ng Civic sa HID retrofit ng Mazda 3.

Those are taken using my SLR at the same exposure settings.

Dati pinaglalaban ko rin na mas malakas talaga retrofit vs OEM. But everytime I pull up my Mazda 3 beside a Fortuner or Altis 2.0V with stock LEDs, mas malakas talaga buga ng ilaw nila. Have never seen anyone with a 2.4V Fort still have their lights retrofitted - laging 2.4G kasi hindi naman LED yun.

boss san ka nakikita ng properly retrofitted na HID na may glare? paki post ang pics.

exampl ko sayo bakit ganun ang reply ko sa post mo? May isang pics dun sa Page na yun nag sabit "fogs lang H11" nakita mo ba ang output? Fogs pa lang yun eh mas mataas pa sa alignment ng headlight yung fog light.

FYI fog light should never overlap sa cutoff ng headlight mapa halogen or HID or led man yan. Fog light is fog light. it was never designed para mag overlap sa healdight beam. Sige nga post a low beam na pics galing dun na hindi glaring dahil since sabi mo much better than a properly retrofitted HID.

[D3nb3r]

Paps... hindi glaring... at naka low beam ka lang...

On high beam kahit halogen glaring na din... nasa headlight mo yan... wala yan sa LED bulb the led bulb is designed like there are two LED for high and low.... the low beam is position upwards. when you switch to low beam... the upper part LED lang will open... led it will reflect on the upper part of your headlight... when on high lower and upper part ng LED naman will turn on...

Or if ang setting ng Headlight mo naka tingala...



May i ask... naka HID retrofit ka ba?

Boss hindi naka tingala ang Headlight ko sa alignement. FYI ang cutoff ng headlight at 25ft ay hindi dapat lalagpas sa side mirror ng common sedan try mo google yan or tingnan mo ang proper alignment sa web site ng TRS (The Retrofit source).

Yes Naka HID ang stock headlight ko ngayun pero bitin ako so try ko upgrade sa mas malakas "pero walang glare" Also naka Retrofit din yung previous gen ko na unit.

Sakin paps.. bowl type head light ko... on low beam hindi naman glaring... naka 4-5" lift pa Ranger ko... i know at hindi naman nagrereklamo mga kasalubong ko....

Wag lang high beam

Paano niyo po nalaman na hindi nagrereklamo?

There you go. At naka reflector bowl and lifted ka pa with led bulbs.

Curious lang ako. before ka nag palit ng bulb did the installer marked the cut off of your halogen bulb sa wall and then aligned yung led bulbs mo din sa mark ng halogen?

I'm not sure if familiar ka sa optics in automitive lighting. Lahat ng stock bulb at reflector bowl ay designed to match each other or if may oem bulbs na specific for your headlight. Pag nag palit ka ng bulb at nag change ang positiion ng light source sa bulb (filament for halogen and halide salts for HID) iba na ang angle ng buga ng ilaw mo. Ever wonder bakit yung reflector bowl mo ay hindi cya smooth if comapre mo sa reflector sa loob ng projectors? Its beacuse naka tune ang every angle ng surface ng reflector bowl para sa stock bulb nya or the oem/aftermarket counterpart.
Most if not all pick ups na naka projectors lalo na HID ay may headlight leveling (auto/electrical) dahil nakaka silaw talaga ang lalo na ang pick up at loaded sa likod kaya pag may ganayn feature is pag tingala ng rig mo eihter auto mag level ang headlight mo or manual mo pindutin ang switch to lower the level. So how much more sa iyo ngayun na lifted ka pa with out auto or electric leveling ng headlight.

example sa pic paps. pag nag change ang focal point ng light mag change din ang output angle nyan.

Cut off.. that is the standard cut off almost all vehicles... better output or brigther output, much clearer.. much safer...

On the highway naman... same din mas malakas na high beam the better and safer... kasi kita mo kahit malayo...

KS led is brigther compare to HID and HID retrofit..
And at a fraction of the cost of A retrofit..

It seems you know a lot about automotive lights... are you a seller of Hid retrofit?

I understand what you are telling me paps... i know kung nakakasilaw ang auto ko o hindi... at ako ang gumagamit nun... at ako din ang may nakakasalubong... kung nakakasilaw ang auto ko edi sana.. yung mga kasalubong ko nag flaflash.. or signaling me na glaring ang ilaw ko.... kahit naman yan HID mo na may cut off paps pag umabot mukha ng driver ng kasalubong mo... pickup unladen or loaded Glaring din...

HID High beam hindi nakakasilaw...?

Thats b.s. paps... kahit flashlight lang tapat ko sa mukha... nakakasilaw...

Fogs mataas ang output?.. combination ng Housing and bulb yan pati level ng bulb kaya nakakasilaw... pag focus mo sa ibaba yan.. ewan ko nalang kung masisilaw ka pa..

Kahit anong Klase ng ligthing ang gamitin natin.. kug hindi properly naka level.. nakakasilaw talaga...
