Planning on getting an HID retrofit

[zechs]

Installed the led headlight already. Here are some shots. I've toned down the exposure of the shots taken from outside the car para makita ung output.

Sorry kung flood hehe hindi naman importante malakas. Gusto ko lang naman i-test habang wala pa ung projectors ko hehehe

Damn that output is a sore in the eyes of someone coming from an hid projector like you, and as expected from a pnp hahaha. Joke lang. Or maybe its just the exposure of the camera. Well the led bulbs are used na diba? And this is inside a projector? I guess the scientific theory of optics on automotive lighting is still true that you cant just swap bulbs that easily

But at least its better than your halogen and walang glare.

Eyesore? Maybe. Functional? A bit. Would it suffice the two weeks of me without my retrofit? A big maybe.

Again, these led headlights are on stock halogen reflectors, NOT projectors.

Some more output pics:




Di naman ganun kasabog completely ung buga nya unlike the HID of the past.

Di pala sa inside a projector and leds mo. But actually if compare ang output ng leds mo sa pics ng halogen bulbs mo, that led is not that bad. Wala pa naman atang nag flash sayo hehehe.
But 2wks lang you'll get your projector na. I think that led is pretty decent naman until the replacement comes.

*d3nb3r,
Yeah, decent and cheap. Well cheaper than KS. Haha.

Wala pa naman nagflash, i thnk basing from the pics that I've posted yung driver side binabaan ko talaga eh.

Di pa pala nakalagay sa projectors yan? Malaki pa ihihina nyan pag nakalagay sa projectors

Finally got to compare my OEM LEDs with my newly cleaned HID projector retrofits:

LED:


HID:


Observations:
- Output is roughly the same, but perhaps slightly in favor of the LEDs
- Color temp of LED is much higher than HID
- Projector HID has much better cutoff than LED reflectors

More than wall shots though, I think pictures of actual road lighting paint a more interesting story:





- The HID projectors have a cleaner throw, but most of the lighting intensity is focused on the foreground
- The LEDs have stronger lighting farther out, which I think is more useful especially for driving on dark provincial roads

Hi Jut,

I think you can improve your HID equipped car's output a bit by adjusting the aim. I am not sure if the floor you used is flat when you took the photos but it looks like the aim is low comparing where the LED beam is hitting the wall, and the left and right projectors are not aimed at the same height. I actually noticed these two things as well when I had my retrofit done at Redline as well. This is probably due to the non-flat surface of the place where they do the retrofits. I adjusted my left and right headlights to have roughly the same height, and raised both a few inches from Redline's initial aiming. If you do this the beam should be thrown more at a distance and less at at the foreground. I used this guide:

Thanks for the tip, I'll try to adjust my projectors when I have time.

Although with both headlights on, they're roughly the same level:

Pag naikabit ko na un q5 ko maiccompare ko din side by side un philips 85122 vs nhk bulbs. Same nhk q5 projectors
