Planning on getting an HID retrofit

[D3nb3r]

Ang ayoko lang sa FXR is hindi plug and play. Straight retrofit talaga siya. To some that's a leap of faith.

FXR ay ka helera na ng mga oem specs projectors like RX350, Acura TL, murano, ZkWR or S2000. Those are the big dogs and at the top tier sa mga projectors.

But cutting up your existing headlights, nut and bolt method maybe a big deal breaker for some. Been there and done that although entry level E46 projectors lang gamit ko dati.

Yes those are the big dogs but the plug and play ones right now are pretty much up there na rin sans the big modification.

[D3nb3r]

agree, can't deny that technology is always evolving. Also manufacturers are finding ways to make their product accessible to everyone kaya they consider din yung ease of install.

May cutting of wires ba ang hid retrofit?

Usually none. Plug and play lang lahat. Ang magkakatalo is the projector itself. Ung mga iba plug and play lang. Then ung mga iba you have to do some serious modding na. Hehe. As we have said, never ending upgrading when it comes to projectors.

walang ma vovoid sa electricals mo pag walang cutting, soldering, splicing or modification na ginawa sa electrical wires. Can't say the same sa HL assembly since bubuksan yan. Usually yung stock harness pa rin ang gagamitin ng retrofitter. Yung DIY ko nga pati ballast ko nilagay ko sa loob ng HL assembly for a clean look. But I'm planning to transfer it sa labas para madaling palitan if incase may problema ang ballast.

Sa mga ibang headlight assembly may provision ng ballast sa ilalim. Sa akin meron pero di nila doon kinabit kasi exposed sa ilalim.

Tama sila walang void sa electrical kung plug and play lang. But you cant claim warranty sa headlight assembly if it moists.

Yup some headlights do have this option for the ballast mount but mine doesnt. My oem bulb is Philips D5S which has an integrated ballast at the back of the bulb itself and pinalitan ko yun ng D2S bulbs with external ballast. I could also make some custom brackets around the HL assembly pero cancel ko yun dahil under warranty pa unit ko and mainit sa mata ng mga taga casa pag nakita nila hehehe. Pero ilalabas ko rin yung ballast ko eventually.

Ngayon ko lang narinig D5S ah. Ung sa everest D8S ata eh. Nahihinaan nga ako sa OEM hid ng everest. Mas malakas ung G5/osram cbi ko.

Matagal na ang d5s type na bulbs actually sa hidplanet naging topic na ito mga 5-8yrs ago if i'm not mistaken. HID na yung oem bulb ko pero 25w lang. Since may experience na ako sa 35w philips 85122 d2s on my previous vehicle so medyo kulang sa akin yung oem hid's ng current vehicle ko now, kahit si misis na pansin nya rin.
Pwede naman ako bumili ng 35w D5S dahil nag labas na ang morimoto ng ganyang version nila last year pero at 350usd na price i dont think its worth it. If philips or Osram yun I'll get that in a heartbeat hehehe. Though around 500usd din gastos ko sa mini d2s 4.0/xb35/philips xv c1 ko. Medyo masakit mag palit ng bulb at 350usd/set pag na sira another 350usd na naman at hindi pa available sa pinas ngayun ito.

ganito ang stock bulbs ko.

Hindi. Kakaclaim lang ni utol ng warranty, pinalitan injectors kasi nagcheck engine

It's very hard to see things in the rain with white lights.
