Planning on getting an HID retrofit

[nixce]

Thanks,

I am still undecided, Im looking for a better night driving visibility without sacrificing safety.
Here are my current options;

Upgrade to HID/LED, keep 3M BC20 tints

1. Xenon Concept HID retrofit stage 2.5 with angel eyes - 14k.
2. Vanguard 6000k led, bulb upgrade only, with bcm specific resitor/canceller module - 8k

Change tints, keep stock lights.

1. Sunbloc Ultimate clear-blue wrap around - 6k
2. Better heat rejection than 3M - Sunbloc non-ultra wrap around - 17k
3. VKool VK40 windshield only - 7k.

Of the two major options, upgrading the headlight is the riskiest, because bcm is not cheap.
Resistors heats up during prolonged use and may break in time.

I wont suggest a wrap around for the sunbloc as today, i applied a 2nd layer on my window tints because of the heat total cost was 10k. Maybe windshield is ok.

Before, i went plug and play LED headlight bulbs and i totally wasted money, ended up using osram nightbrker series halogen bulbs for a year (thats 1500 for nightbrker unli and 2000 for nightbrker laser). Thats another 5000 pesos wasted for the led bulbs.

My lesson, go straight to what we really want and dont look for substitutes. Napalaki lang gastos ko because takot naman ako mag moist ang headlights.

Maybe you can ask other ford ranger owners(im just assuming thats your ride). I know one who retrofitted his everest, happy sya.

If visibility, mas ok ung option na tint. Wla din ang hid kng madilim ang tint.

I have a dark tint. You can hardly see a person inside pag sa labas ka. forgot what vkool i got.


Here's the wall shot from my dash cam after my DIY retrofit.


I can see further after the retrofit or shall I say change of projector since naka HID projector na ang stock HL ko dati kahit naka dark tint ako.

Para doon sa mga nagbabalak na mag-retrofit to projectors na nagaalinlangan pa. This should answer kung talaga bang sulit ang retrofit. This was taken outside the car. Wall is a good 20-30 meters away.

Hi all,

Nagpa retrofit ako ng stage 1 lang tapos 6000k ang kulay. Ngayong tag ulan na, hirap naman ako sa gabi kasi mas malala sa stock kapag wet aspalt ang daanan kasi super white ang kulay ng ilaw. planning to buy
4300k hid bulb for rainy season, is there any good brand for h1 socket? baka may alam rin kayo kung saan makakabili.

Nawala sa alignment headlights ko, yung pinalagay ko last January 2018. Kahit pihit gawin ko hindi pantay, tabingi left HL at nag vvibrate, then right HL mababa aim.
Maling mali kasi pina Detail ko headlights ko kasi yellowish na siya before pako magpa HID
Tapos ngayon pina detail ko ayun naalog un loob

Sakit sa ulo ngayon hindi pa sumasagot un nag install..


Sa halagang 300 nawala alignment. Lesson learn

Nabasag na yung adjustment screws sa loob nyan. Worst case you need a new headlight housing.

Anong bulb gamit mo? MH1 or D2S?
If MH1 possible na galaw lang ang base nag bulb pwede mo tanggalin uli and reinstall ang bulb and make sure na tama ang position ng bulb or natanggal ang adjusting screw sa adjuster mount.
If D2S malamang na tanggal ang adjusting screw sa adjuster mount sa likod ng reflector bowl almost impossible kasi na gagalaw ang d2s bulb kung nasagi lang unlike sa mh1.
Matatanggal ang adjusting screw sa mount nya pag na sobrahan ng pihit.
