Planning on getting an HID retrofit

[Eevie]

*eevie,
Your unit with the autoheadlamps is halogen or hid already? If hid equipped din, isnt that the same thing if nag-upgrade ka to better specs?

Anyway, you might want to try contacting hidretrofit (garyq) for your future upgrade. I've talked to xenon concepts and he told me that they dont want to mess with the autoheadlamp system of our car. So no more upgrade for me since I dont want to pay more than what I budgeted.

Halogens lang that's why the itch to upgrade for better lighting. Actually been wanting to do this since last year pa.

I can override naman so that it will not be auto ON, but just like to have it on for convenience.

read that it's not good for the HID lights to be constantly on and off? On my daily route, I normally pass tunnels and some shaded areas which triggers the lights to be on for less than a minute.

The ballast would take a toll if on/off on short period of time( has not yet stabilized/warmed up). This is why daytime multiple flashing is not recommended on aftermarket ballast. Oem ballasts can handle the beating better

Is there a workaround to that, say, upgrade the ballasts to oem like? Or that's too expensive of an option?

If budget permits you to upgrade to OEM spec ballast, why not right?

I'm using NHK ballast (the ones included with xenon concepts package) ok naman so far. But will upgrade soon if mag-fail ung ballast or if out of warranty na siya.

Thanks. I'll see whether upgrading the ballast is within my budget.

Worth it upgrade naman due to longer lifespan. Tho hindi ka na pwede mag stage1. Dapat d2s or d3s bulbs. Ipalagay mo nalang sa magandang location yung ballast and iwas engine wash para hindi mabasa.

Oh okay, thanks for the tips. So the ballasts are not enclosed in some kind of water resistant casing? Sorry for the questions, not familiar with this.

Planning to get my vehicle retrofitted and was wondering whether I will have problem if I leave the auto-headlights to ON? I normally just leave it to ON and it turns on and off as I drive but read that it's not good for the HID lights to be constantly on and off? On my daily route, I normally pass tunnels and some shaded areas which triggers the lights to be on for less than a minute.

yung description mo sa pag gamit ng auto-on ng HL mo ay walang naman problema. ang ibig sabihin ng nabasa mo is yung frequent flashing nag gingamit ang HL to sgnal the on coming vehicle.
You'll be fine if for passing tunnel lang ang reason mo para palitan or up grade ang system mo ay hindi practical. Well unless gusto mo talaga mag upgrade ng HL mo.
