clarification regarding my headlights

[majinbu]

here is my headlight


newbie lang po.. sorry.. kaya i would just like to ask.. kasi yung camry (second gen) ko.. nakastock HID sha.. so pag ino- on ko yung Headlight ko.. yung HID yung LOW ko.. so sa picture yung naka GREEN circle lang ang umiilaw.. then pag HIGH naman yung nakacircle na RED (halogen) and GREEN (HID) yung umiilaw.. so question is.. pag bumili ba ko ng bagong HID.. kaylangan 2 pairs?? kasi gusto ko din ipa HID na yung HIGH beam ko.. or pwede na yung binebentang HI/LOW na HID?? correct me if im wrong.. pero ang plan ko kasi is HI/LOW ko sana is naka HID.. which means yung nakacircle ng RED at GREEN is magiging HID na.. panu kaya diskarte dyan mga sir? naguguluhan ako kung kaylangan ba 2 pair ang bilhin ko o yung isang pair lang na HI/LOW...


AT.. if ever ba yung lumang HID na nakainstall now sa projector HL ko.. pwede ko ba ikabit sa FOG lights ko yun?? para ndi naman masayang? hehe
TIA..

hinde ata advisable sa HID yung pa flash flash lang. hintay tayo ng confirmation.

yung mga naka HID na HI/LOW, alam ko isang bulb lang yon na may mechanical object na gumagalaw pag nag hi beam ka.

tama ba? hihihi. nagmamagaling lang.

I believe that your low beam has H3 bulbs, while your hi-beam is an H4 or H7 type. Dalawang separate HID kung sakasakali ang bibilhin mo pre.

a.) HIDs on your highbeam isn't really recommended as HIDs are not meant to be flashed(sudden on/off). Kaya naman but I think mas mabilis masisira

b.) Should you decide to proceed with what you want, FYI, your High Beam is a separate bulb by itself(as you pointed it out). So you only need to buy one set of HID. Your low beam will be left as is. And what you will be getting is a single beam HID which will be installed on your high beam. Not High Low HID(hi/lo HIDs are for cars with one pair of bulbs only). Gets?

c.) The bulb of your low beam and foglamp is different. So no, you can't transfer your HID low beam to the foglamp.

His low beam bulbs are definitely not H3. Most probably it's D2S or other HID projector specific bulb. High beam is most probably 9005, H1 or other bulbs commonly used in high beams.

All he needs to buy is one set of HID to replace the Halogen high beam. Then all is set na. High and low beam are all HID na.

Hopefully, this guy does use his HID responsibly. Badtrip yun mga nagpapa HID sa highbeam din masyado nakakasilaw

madaming salamat sa mga nagclear ng question ko.. dont worry sir im a responsible HID user naman.. super baba nga ng tutok ng HID ko.. kaya pag bumabyahe ako sa probinsya.. nahihirapan ako dahil bitin yung buga ng HIGH BEAM ko.. kaya gusto ko din sana iba HID.. para pogi points na.. mas malakas pa ang buga.. mas safe pa.. hehe

thanks sir.. BTW.. so yung low beam ko.. hindi ko na sha kaylangan bilhan ng bagong "HI/LOW" na HID right? or pwede din? para mangyayare pag nag HIGH BEAM ako.. solid ang labas?? possible ba yun?

Actually, you don't need to adjust your headlights if all you are going to change are the high beams. Your car came stock with HID projectors naman and these are aimed properly so hindi ito nakakasilaw. Mkakasilaw ka lang if you use your Highbeams unnecessarily. So what you should do, aim your low beam properly first to factory specs then proceed with the installation of HID high beam.

Nope. No need to touch anything sa low beam. And the only thing you can do with low beam is change the bulb to a bluish or yellowish bulb. that's it.

Another option would be to retrofit a bi-xenon projector.

[majinbu]

ahh ok ok.. thanks sir..
nasilip ko na yung bulb type ko..
lowbeam = D2S/H7 (same lang ba to?? hehe)
hign beam = HB3
fogs = HB4

ang HB3 ba at H3 or HB4 at H4 ba ay iisa lang?? any difference?

TIA

Low beam is D2S. D2S and H7 are different.
High beam - HB3 a.k.a. 9005
fogs - HB4 a.k.a. 9006

hb3 is different from h3, hb4 and h4 are different.

So this is what you need to buy, HB3 HID kit for your high beam. If gusto mo pati fog lamps buy an HB4 HID kit as well.

bro eto suggestion ko sayo:

a. wag mo pagalaw yung stock HID sa LO. Philips Germany D2s 4300k bulbs naka kabit dyan. Yan ang the best oem bulbs right now. Kung gumagana pa with the oem ballasts, wag mo pagalaw. I worked with many headlights na with OEM HID, ginawa ba naman pinalitan ng China 6000k kasi mas maliwanag daw at pati ballasts pinalitan. Naku pag di mo alam yang mga ganyan, "installers" and shops will take advantage of you. Even your ballasts, wag mo pagalaw. Your 4300k bulbs will give you the best output on the road. Tama lang dapat adjustment.

b. Sa Hi, personally I would not install HID. A good halogen bulb will do like Philips XP or OSram NB. Hindi good value investment ang HID dyan. I think you wouldnt not see any oem setup na naka HID yung HI. There is a reason for that.

c. Get also a good halogen bulb for your fogs. Dont install HID here, not a good value investment. Nakakasilaw output pag naka HID and fogs are cheap add ons na ginagamit ng mga auto mfg na really, very minimal addition sa lighting performance.

d. Kung kailangan linisin yung headlights, palinis mo. Madali mag yellow yung Camry na HL.

I suggest that you follow the advice of gary. Halogens are still better for the high beams and fog lamps.

And "fogs are cheap add ons na ginagamit ng mga auto mfg na really, very minimal addition sa lighting performance. " I agree with this, on some cars parang more of design add on nalang ang foglamps. Look at the facelifted Mazda CX-9 fog lamps, parang walang kwenta talaga yun output

[garyq]

hay talaga bro halos walang effect mga stock fogs and imagine they charge 15-18k for this setup.

[majinbu]

thanks for the tips mga sir.. actually napapaisip na nga ako ngayon. hehe looking at the fogs nga.. para nalang sha display light.. walang kabuga buga.. kaya naisipan ko ipaHID.. baka sakaling maging useful. pero what if hindi padin maganda ang buga. sayang lang ang HID.. hehe owell.. cguro papakabitan ko muna ng magandang brand na all weather bulb.. i'll see from there. =)

anu ba bagay na kulay ng park light para sa camry? with that set up ng light? parang gusto ko blue led.. kaso parang baduy.. haha what do you think?

Usually new Japanese cars use D2S bulbs for the OEM Equipped HID. Projector type or Reflector Type.

Then they use HB3 for the high beam.

Ganyan sa CR-V ko.

Sa Corolla Altis 2.0V.

Sa Civic 2.0S / 2.0S-L.

Alam mo kung bakit?

Hindi sa harapan ang buga ng fogs. Usually sa side. Pure yellow halogen bulbs lang katapat nyan.
------
Tip ko lang, gawin mo din pure yellow yung high beam tapos maghanap ka ng yellow or amber (orange) na park light.

Ganda nyan. Dapat decent looks. Camry pa naman yan, 3.0V V6 ba?



Pwede rin 'to

Yup sayang lang talaga. Actually it will be brighter pag HID pero the distance would still be the same as stock. So few feet lang from the bumper ang coverage plus some brightness on the sides.
Okay din suggestion ni SG na yellow sa highbeams. Catz japan yellow bulbs nakakabit sa high beam ng isang car namin, okay talaga lalo na pag foul weather

For parklight, quality looking white LED or Polarg/Wurth amber would do. Don't put blue. Panget

yun nga sir.. sa side po yung buga niya. tapos super walang kwenta. haha as in line lang na manipis.. thats it. kaya nakakadisapoint, kasi may nakikita ako na ibang kotche na yung fogs nila though hindi nakakasilaw pag kasalubong mo pero super ganda ng buga. anyways, its a camry 2.4 sir, may nagsasabi nga i-JDM looks ko daw.. kaso hindi ko din naman alam anu yung looks na yun.. haha

actually yung picture na sinend mo sir is yung target ko na looks.. haha simple but elegant..
