Yes kay redline din. Maghapon lang nila ginawa vs hanggang gabi nung unang kinabit.

Hehe i see. Napaayos ko na yung busted headlight ko sa kanila. Ballast lang sira sa isang side so at least hindi mahal parepair. Wala si tots so hindi ko natanong about sa pag upgrade. Sayang!

hello everyone, hope everyones doing good .

planning on getting hid retrofit by next month. innova 2017. Torn between stage 2 and 3. I have to admit wala ako idea about components but looks to me that stage 2 is almost like stage 3 except for the bulbs where stage 3 uses philips or osram na plus quality ballasts. is it worth the extra 4k to 7k to go get the stage 3 na? initially planning to get stage 2 kasi di naman ako madalas mag night drive pero baka kasi sulit naman pag matibay na bulbs ang nasa stage 3. Then palitan nalang ng Philips or Osram pag napundi na. Thanks

2017 is the same body as the current model diba?

Bear in mind na retrofit for this model requires a lot of cutting ang breaking of housing. Hindi kasya yung base ng projector. Lalagyan ng additional bracket or papaliguan ng epoxy. Pag nagsawa na di mo na maibabalik sa original configuration. Replace headlight talaga. Also, may wire splicing involved

Correct sir, same body ng current (2016-2021) models. Okay thanks for that info. I don't see that info elsewhere, i thought it is as simple as exchanging reflector bowls with 3" projector lens. Noted and thanks.

But assuming I am willing to take the risk. Do you think na sulit na ako sa option A? Stage 2, Hella G5 BRT, Heartray D2s. Hylux ballast

Was planning on getting mine retrofitted pero turned back dahil dyan. Hella g5 brt din.

The brands you mentioned are known sa retrofitters. Assuming orig nakuha mo, you cannot go wrong.

Sir you mean? Di mo na tinuloy pa retrofit mo?

Maganda bili ka ng DEPO headlight housings para dyan ikabit ang projectors.

Tago no ang stock OEM headlight housings para puwede ibalik sa future.

Di ko na tinuloy sa innova. Turned off ako dun sa part na kailangan basagin yung housing, unlike the usual headlights that uses h4 bulb na may projector na bolt on lang (like ng koito q5 sa vios ko) at di na kailangan basagin yung housing.

Thinking of having projector fogs instead

Oh okay, understood sir. Thanks for the inputs. Parang mapapa KS Leds ata ako nito.
