Planning on getting an HID retrofit

[jut703]

*jut- yung na mention mo na price for the g5 projectors, galing na sa redline yun? or ikaw mismo nag order nun? also, existing mount ba for the q5 yung ginamit? mabilis na lang yung work compared to retrofitting from stock?

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?

[bxr monkey]

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

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

[sirkosero]

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

IMHO its better to spend that 11 to 13k for maintenance and other more useful mods

thank you!

errr,
what for?

[sirkosero]

If u had practicsl use for the foglamp like nasa bundok ka na mafog, go ahead. Additional lighting wouldnt be bad.

Pero kung porma lang naman (like most foglamps) at nasa city ka, useless.

Then again... your car, your rules.

Plug and play lang sya so it's the least invasive option to get better lighting. Headlight HID upgrades require splitting apart the headlight assemblies to install new projectors. It might also not be compatible with some brands' auto-leveling mechanisms.

[mousemouse]

Hmm come to think of it mukang wala nga magagawa ang projector fogs for me. I have an older retrofit (NHK Q5 with Philips bulbs) na halos 5 years na. I pass by Araneta ave at night everyday na wala masyadong street lights and nabibitin ako sa nakikita ko. Madami kasing maliliit na intersections and may mga tumatawid na tricycles bigla. Naka lightest tint na ako sa windshield. I use an altis so medyo mababa talaga ang position ng lights and mas malapit ang maabot nito lalo na if hindi even ang roads. I should just switch to high beams before intersections haha. thanks for saving me money guys!

errr,
what for?

[dr. d]

about "lightest tints".
i have two near-identical vehicles. one has no front tint, and the other has lightest tint, c/o first owner.
and i tell you, driving at night,
whatever else anyone says,
"there is a difference".

in the very near future,
i will have the tintero guy remove it.

[JohnM]

Both our cars have light front tint for privacy. The Mazda's stock halogen projectors were so weak that the beam wasn't visible on wet asphalt. Upgrading to a stage 2 HID fixed it. On the Subaru however the stock reflector H4s are perfectly fine in similar conditions so no upgrades are slated for it.
