Things to know when upgrading to HID

[mhervin]

anyone here knows how much projector lamp for honda esi? pls txt me 09282082977.. ty

[NighthawkGT]

hehe pacencya na po pero lalo ako nalito. so magkaiba po pala wattage ng bulb sa ballast? if yes, do you mean ok na po 35 watts na bulb basta 50 watts yun ballast?
sana po habaan nyo pa pacencya nyo sa mga tanong ko

running a 35W china bulb with 50W ballast produce so much heat that it can damage the chrome in the reflector bowl of projectors, much as with semi sealed projectors.

[NighthawkGT]

^^ Oo nga pala. thanks NH. looking forward to meet you personally.


Btw, do you sell HID kits alone?


Pa PM price if ever. Thanks.

we're not advocates of PNP kits so puro mga D2S mga stocks dito

[NighthawkGT]

o, nighthawk, thanks for sharing them what you taught me nung nagpa-retrofit ako sa yo a few months ago. i'm glad na maganda ang respond ng mga tsikoteers sa thread mo.

sure bro. imparting knowledge sa motorist is very important. Ang nangyayari kasi ngyun e nagkakabulagan lang kasi sa kalsada due to misleading information and marketing of these HID PNP kits.

ano po kailangan palitan para sa lite ace 91 model? recommended ba na mag HID ako o H4 na lang? anong brand and model ang ayos?

thanks

fniished reading first post?

I think you still have a shot using a HID. you could buy a cheap bolt-on projector hid kit from our local sellers or even cheaper through ebay:



note: the first two items does not have ballasts yet...





the cut-off is not as good as the retrofit ones though. but it is still way way better than using halogen reflector. seen them and it glares bad...

though it would be better to have your headlamps cyrstal clear first. read the 4th page on how can you make your headlamps crystal clear.




*NH: Nice write up, ganda ng mods

love pics with the light throws!

continuation how to possibly put one on a Lite Ace:

baked and wet sanding:

before:


after:

[NighthawkGT]

good job sanding those. fortunately its plastic. others who have glass fluted lens are a little impossible to do. but hey each of us has his own ways. hehe

[rion]

nako po, hindi po sa akin yan.

this might help our ka-tsikot Dikoy. afaik, plastic ata yung sa lite ace if I'm not mistaken.

[Starex_Gold]

if its plastic then sanding it would be another alternative, but its veryvery difficult to do that. the next problem is after sanding it, it gets blurred out, and its hard to polish it again and again to be as clear as the real thing.

we tried this once and we gave up

but the problem is..... glass yung headlight cover ng Trooper

but the problem is..... glass yung headlight cover ng Trooper

sg, yan ang problema nga. hindi ko din alam paano ka pwede tulungan sa retrofit mo sa trooper. unless magpapa-fabricate ka ng eagle eyes para dyan at sabay salpakan ng low beam projectors o quad projectors setup

[NighthawkGT]

we even brought it over to some glass crafting shops, tinangihan ng mga mokong dun. haha well the best is that find a clear lens alternative for that particular model of the lamps.

Hi, do you have a projector kit for gen 3 pajero? please pm me the price and where is your

shop located?. Thanks

Sir NH,
Merun po ba kayo katulad nung sa SIR na nasa pic? if meron magkanu po and kung anung HID po ang marerecommend nyo na maganda ang kakalabasan, yun pong hindi talo sa gabi tapos umuulan. Willing ako pag ipunan. Sana sir mabigyan nyo din ako ng quote kung magkanu. Actually tinanung ko na din si sir test and nirefer nya po kayo. Maraming salamat po.

[Starex_Gold]

wala sa brand ng HID yan, nasa lens haha

dapat kung magpapa retrofit kayo, lahat ng parts kay nighthawk na. kumpleto naman siya eh. 4300K ang HID bulb nya. Philips pa. OEM brand yan

*nighthawk.. sir, san ung shop nyo? i'm interested in converting my oem headlights to hid.

[numbah5]

Sir nighthawk, question. The Montero Sport already has a projector bulb for low beam and a reflector bulb for high beam. If I install HID on the low beam, how would it affect the high beam? And is there still a need to use high beam on provincial roads if I have 4300K HID on my projector low beam?

no effect... kasi hindi naman xenon hid projector ang nakalagay sa montero. designed ang projector niya na hanggang ganun lang ang lapad. so kahit na naka-hid ka, ganun pa rin. intensity lang ng ilaw ang magbabago. hindi naman maapektuhan ang high beam mo.

oo naman. kelangan mo pa rin ng high beam sa provincial roads kahit na 4300k pa ang ilaw mo

[testament11]

triple post!!!!!

i believe testament has answered your query already. To add to that, about using the high beam on provincial roads its subjective. it depends on how you find your low beam, is it adequate enough or not.
