Sir NH, kindly PM me also a quotation for the 2010 Mits Strada. Retrofit, High and Low.

Additional query, sir. Say my headlamps were retrofitted, would a 'passing light' (flicker of high beam) be visible to incoming vehicles during DAY TIME? Thanks in advance!

well in my case if i really need to use my high beams, i would flick my high beam switch but ill hold it for at least 3 seconds then release the switch. kita naman ng oncoming kasi mataas talaga yung highbeams, well in the case of the FXR bixenon projectors.

just that dont do it repeatedly or the bulb life will shorten.

all hids requires a start up time talaga to achieve full brightness. pero ang maganda na niyan is during night time, around 100~250ms lang yung activation delay nung solenoids. kaya pag flip mo ng high beams nandun agad

nice clean cut offs!


low beam


high beam


Heres the real HID output!


very wide output pattern! using only a single bulb! thats true lighting efficiency. just count the number of parking lot lanes it covers!

Hi Sir, very informative thread you have. I am planning to have my headlight changed to a retroffited hid like the ones posted in this thread. I was wondering how much it would cost me to have my lights changed? I have a 98 Civic. Also, where is you shop located? Thanks!

I would like to inquire on placing HID (high and low beam) on my pajero. Mga magkano din gagastusin and duration ng work? Thank you.

sir nighthawk,,,

just want to ask, because i will be buying a new honda city 1.3s. As you know, there is no foglamps included in the 1.3 model. I am planning to have hid foglamps installed in my car. Is this recommended? This will be my first car and Im kind of a noob here so really need your help.. What I mean is, if I install foglamps in my new car, pwede ba yun? Im worried kasi baka sabog yung light or baka hindi maganda yung labas eh... sayang naman po money if ganun lang yun mangyayari... thanks so much!

Sayang pera kung pa HID mo foglamps mo, why get some pure yellow halogen bulb for foglights since tag-ulan na rin?
