Planning on getting an HID retrofit

[dr. d]

I did and even my wife who doesn't know these things was impressed. I have pics of the lights output. I couldn't upload it here.

I get the general consensus about car lighting setups - bright/blinding
I did my research first on whom to go.
I also happen to ran across with these setups and impressed that I wasnt blinded (Sedan and SuV)

that's great!

Again stage 2.5 G5 projectors + osram cbi. Taken way way far from the wall. 1 year plus, still very happy with it. Next step upgrade would probably be Bi-Leds na.

Bi-LEDs will be a huge downgrade from what you have right now.

Will it? Haha will have to try it out sa ibang car then. Curious to know how will the two fare side by side.

Leds have lesser output than Hids. Ü

Properly installed bright lights and just a bright light are two different things. People seem to think that oh you have an hid upgrade nakaka silaw yan, yup nakaka silaw talaga if not properly installed.

matagal ko nang ninanais, at tinangka ng maraming beses.
nguni at, hindi ako makapag-wagi-wagi.
...don't know why...

Siguro I want something na mas intense ung foreground light thats why Im looking into bi-leds.

Big difference from LED to HID retrofit upgrade. My LED was from LED lights ph in Antipolo where they say that it was 11k lumens. They've adjusted downward but still a lot of glare. I had it for 2 weeks and noticed several vehicles flashing their lights.

Palit ka na lang ng led sa fog lamps o iparetrofit mo na din un fog lamps

My HID retrofit has stronger foreground lighting vs my factory LEDs.

You will only get super bright foreground with fog HID projectors.

Unfortunately di ata kaya i-retrofit ung fogs ko. Hindi siya circular shape.

Laki pala ng profit margin ng mga retrofitters. I was computing the material costs, wala pa 5k for the q5 projectors, ballast and controller from aliexpress.

Heck, when my hid controllers got busted, the shop where i got my retrofits charged me, 1200. I Saw the hid controller in shopee today and its only 246 pesos.

They do have to cover operational costs too.

Agree on the operational costs that are not yet included in the computation.

But the entire kit costs 5k and shops are charging upwards of 15k for the install. Minimal na lang naman ang electricity cost ng heat gun and the wages of the laborers so malaki talaga profit ng businessmen.

I had retrofit upgrade last September and wala pang 2 months nawalan ng ilaw ung sa right side na angel eye. I reported to Xenon concept, and possible daw na inverter igniter daw ung nasira.. sensitive daw talaga un... pero wala naman akong ginalaw kaya I dont know pano nasira agad. Although covered ng warranty kaso weird na ang bilis masira. [emoji849]

Problematic talaga yang mga angel and demon eyea. May iba nga ilang araw lang tumatagal, sira na agad.
