I installed HIDs on my former '03 XUVi (same OEm headlights as your '02)... and I must say I was happy.

I would suggest that you just have the OEM headlights properly cleaned (not smoked for this is the opposite of what you aim to attain). That should provide better light reflection --- thus visibility for the driver (you).

Wag ka na mag projector-type for it looks aftermarket. Not to mention dagdag gastos pa.

Not unless he want the 2010 Projector Headlights.

Btw, Benz wont the HID or projector for that matter make your Headlight malabo? di ba mainit un? platic lang kasi ung headlights ng Crosswind diba.

HIDs only require 35w (vs. the standard 55/60w for halogens). Technically, mas "malamig" pa nga eto kesa sa halogens... but brighter.

From my experience, I have used HIDs on the crystal-type OEM headlamps of the XUVi for 3 years and I see no deterioration on the plastic lens.

Regarding the 2010 Crosswind projector headlamps, di lang yun plug and play. Wiring harness is entirely different. Thou a seasoned electrician can make the conversion but i don't recommend it. Best to use the originally-designed headlight harness.

IMO the projector upgrade is a good way to minimize glare to oncoming vehicles...

sir in addition to my inquiry lang kasi nung nagpalit ako ng hid dpo ba mas mababa voltage ba nun kesa sa stock na bulb.. kasi po npansin ko nung ung hid ung nakalagay, sa dash board q pag nag Hi na ako dna umiilaw ung sa dashboard ko na warning na naka high beam q .. pero nung tnry namin sa stock na bulb umilaw sia.. sabi nung gumawa kailngan q daw palitan ng masmababang bumbilya ung asa luob ng dash board q he mentioned na 3watts daw dapat ilagay q,, tanung ko po sna kung ganto din ang nangyari sa inyo nung nag HID kau..nways thanks po sa info,

Yes, ganyan din. It's hard to explain but let me try narrate.

Ideally, HIDs are not meant to be double contact. Meaning low beam lang dapat yun. Some aftermarket HIDs developed an "assumed" high-low function (with that slide function that produces a relatively high clicking sound when shifting from low to high beam). This is not recognized by the vehicle and still consider the function as a all-low function.

That is why when real H4 bulbs (halogen) are mounted in the headlight, it does not experience this problem. Nothing to be alarmed thou, it's just that you wont have that "high beam indicator" in your instrument gauges.

nag install po ako kahapon ng HID sa 2008 sportivo ng officemate ko, ganyan din problem, nawala hi-beam indicator sa dashboard instrument panel/gauge. bale ang wiring kasi ng HID (moving bulb type, xenon-H/L), isang connector/socket lang ng orig halogen lamp ang gagamitin to give signal lang sa HID system na mag move yung bulb to effect the hi & lo beam, may direct connection kasi yung supplied wiring harness sa terminals ng battery. naka hang lang yung isang connector/socket.

wala naman po ito magiging problem sa electrical system? balak ko kasi remedyuhan by installing a 12-volt, low wattage pilot lamp or led dun sa nakahang na connector/socket para masimulate yung bigay ng kuryente as if may nakainstall pa rin headlight dun. may naka try na po ba nito at umepekto ba? pero kung wala naman maging problem sa electrical system, di ko na gagawin.
