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 font mga gaano katagal ginawa yan? hi/lo ba sya? ginamit mo ba yung original headlights mo? magkano ang damage nyan? thanks.

your 2008 CRV is projector already. kahit halogen projector yan, a nice decent hid 4300k would be enough

Hi,

I have 07 isuzu alterra naka 8000 kelvin both low beam (projector) and fog lamps. ung projector ok ang cut offs, pero ung foglamps, like sinasabi above, scattered, uneven ung light (which don't look so bright at all).

question po, is there a way to retrofit the foglamps for my alterra? where po pwede? my location is Cebu City. hehe

Kaya pala pag may katabi akong car na naka HID rin, mas bright tingnan ang sa kanila kc concentrated ung light sa gitna, sa akin kc scattered. thanks sa mag reply!

sa alterra, it may be possible pero gagawa ng bagong foglights, say a DIY foglights using projectors. IMO, wag ka mag 8000k on fogs. better yet eh mag 4300k ka or 3000k kasi fog lights are designed to scatter light para makakita ka through foggy roads. also, i advise na mag 4300k ka on projectors mo. 1 pang reason yan kung bakit hindi maganda ang vision mo sa gabi at para na rin iwas bulag sa makakasalubong mo

thanks po sa reply sir, hehe unfortunately d pwede ilipat ang foglights ko papunta sa headlights kc d sila parehas e. sayang kc pag palitan ko foglights kc bibili naman ako bago, then headlyt ko sira bibili rin, parang bili ako 2 pairs na, sayang talaga
