Things to know when upgrading to HID

[numbah5]

Bakit sabi sa akin, kapag low beam HID lang pinalagay ko sa montero sport, kapag nag high beam ako, di ko na raw mapapansin na naka high beam kasi masasapawan daw ng HID low beam yung halogen high beam

[numbah5]

Why is it some of my friends told me that my halogen high beam will not be that bright if I installed HID on my projector low beams on the Montero Sport. Masasapawan daw ng low beam HID yung halogen high beam

I think not completely masasapawan naman po siguro. Pwera na lang kung talagang malayo naaabot nung HID. Pero I think mas malayo pa rin pag high beam kahit halogen.

if your low beam is not aimed right, or if its aimed too high, of course the output of the high beam will be overlapping the output of the low beam.

this mostly happen on the dual reflector low beam and high beam in which the low beam has hid on its halogen reflector which acts like a high beam due to uncontrollable glare. so masasapawan talaga yung high beam na halogen pag ganun.

but on the case of the montero i think it wont happen

I had Nighthawk done my HID with a Retrofit Projector last week. He did a great job. Looks OEM. I am very happy with it. =)



Parts used:
- a clear lensed FXR bixenon projectors with color modification
- philips 85122+ d2s 4300k color bulbs
- apollo shrouds

The light is bright and yellowish in color. The output is wide - good for 3 to 4 lanes - with a sharp blue outline. No glare at all to incoming traffic. Yay!

Before that, I was using a 6000k hid that was just installed directly into my lamp. While it was bright white, the light output was going everywhere and not directed. I hated that the bright white light does not mix well with the usual yellowish light of the other cars - it was distracting to me and the other drivers. I had to angle it low to avoid glare to incoming drivers causing the throw of the light to be so short that I couldn't dive safely on the highway. During the rainy months, the white light was reflecting off the rain drops that I can't see the road much. I was actually contemplating to change back to the oem Jazz lamp until I saw nighthawk's post retrofit projector. I am now a happy camper.

Sir san po shop niyo? gusto ko kasi mag pa HID sa Innova ko, eh from the pictures that were currently posted mukhang pulido kayong gumawa...

[Starex_Gold]

yes pulido talaga gumawa yan si nighthawk. pero hindi simple ang process nito at hindi rin simple ang price nito.

walang shop si nighthawk, AFAIK sa bahay lang siya gumagawa.

nighthawk, gary quoted me 29k all in for Tucson. FX-R Lens, Philips bulbs, denso ballast, gatling shroud. magkano sayo?
