Planning on getting an HID retrofit

[magtatertots]

Good day sir! I noticed that more retrofiters are installing disco lights, or other colored halos aside from white and amber. Claiming there is a 'kill switch' naman daw. I can see that you are not following suite. What's your opinion on this? :D

Hehe simple lang sir -- ayaw ko ng jologs/baduy. Hahahaha! I prefer OEM/clean look but with maximum performance. Medyo purist ako when it comes to setting up cars.

May sawa factor kasi ung mga ganun na sobra daming add-ons and mas madami ka aalalahanin na puwede bumigay or maging defective. Purpose naman ng headlight is for light output and hindi naman para mag-mukhang Christmas tree ung auto. That's why until now very minimal add-ons lang in-ooffer ko with our retrofitting and kung meron man add-on na gusto with the retrofit i'd prefer installing na mukha parin malinis at hindi pinilit ilagay sa headlight.

Malaking check, agree ako kay sir
Iba kasi ang baduy na e, hindi na bagay dami pa nakalagay

Sir redline
Ano sa tingin mo pagkakaiba mo sa iba pang nag ooffer ng retrofit hid,

Btw just want to share this:

Para sa mga LED fanatics na mas better daw yun plug and play LED vs a retrofit.

Vehicle is an Isuzu with stock halogen projectors na nalagyan ng well known LED brand dito satin itago ko nalang sa pangalang... Lol

Kaya nga may mga naka diskusyon ako dati sa FB at dito din, I told them if you think that your build is better that a properly retrofitted hid I invite them to join headlight junkies FB group and post their output shots dun and kahit wag na dun sa hidplanet forum, dahil matitindi mga critics dun at mga kilalang installer sa ibang bansa ay nandun din pero takot naman mag post dun.
I mean led headlight system is getting better sa market sa pinas but its not quite there yet compared mo sa hid systems.
Yung mga nag sasabi na PnP leds are better than a properly retrofitted hid is just under the impression of what Matt Kossoff of TRS called "confirmation bias" in psychology. Lalo na if wala kang makita na proper tests and numbers. Sa marketing pa lang or sa naka print sa packaging malalaman mo na if maayos ang product.

It is unfortunate that I didn't know this before when I decided to have our CR-V be fitted with an HID. One problem after another like "burned" headlights, improper focus, and failed bulb after several months.

There​ was a great improvement but... so I finally decided to go back to stock. I should inform my brother should he decide to upgrade.

How about using LEDs (XHP50s or 70s) on HID projectors instead of HIDs? Effective or not?

A big no no. HID projectors are made to dissipate light from HID bulbs. LED headlights have completely different LED housings, even for projectors.
