Merry Christmas to all strada owners!

Hi guys!! Merry Xmas....

May tanung lang ako sa mga 2010 strada owners dito... Niregalohan kasi ako ng HID lights 8000K H4H/L ng GF ko for my 2010 strada... =P and I'm a bit hesitant to have it installed kasi worried lng ako baka mag start na magka moisture yung headlights ko once baklasin ito para makabit HID.... dami ko kasi na ririnig na mas madaling magmoisture headlights once binaklas na ito e... ano sa tingin nyo? o baka masyado lang ako praning.... 1st time car owner din kasi ako e... sabihan nyo lng ako kung masyado lang akong praning heheheh... And maaapektohan ba warranty ko pag ganun? just got my Triton last dec 2 e..... =P appreciate the opinions..

i believe installing HIDs for your strada will not result in moisutre in the head lamps, the ones you hear having moisture in the headlamps are probably the people who opened their head lights for cleaning and was not properly sealed. but installing hids will accelarate the degrading of the headlamp lens leading to hazy and cloudy lenses.

I have my HID for over a year now and it did not void the warranty of my vehicle, wala na rin warranty yung akin since last May 2010. Tama si sir KCboy, installing HIDs will accelarate the degrading of the headlamp lens resulting in darkening of the lens. Pero it's worth it naman dahil mas maliwanag ang HID kesa halogen. I suggest ipapalit mo yung 8000K to 6000K or much better 4300K, masakit sa mata yang temperature na yan bro.

or even better if you could retrofit your head lamps to projector type lenses so that you can minimize the glare from opposite traffic as well as maximizing the illumination of the hids.

Hay kung may pera lang! :drool:

Sir, how will HIDs accelerate the degrading of the headlamp? Diba 35watts (common) or 50watts (high output) lang ang HID retrofits sa market?

Mga Gurus,

nag back read na ako re clutch noise problem, and Im experiencing the same noise/squeak when the clutch pedal is released (note: noise heard only when the clutch pedal is released and normal when pressed). Sound is coming from the outside and not in the cabin (cant hear it when the windows are closed).

Pinacheck ko sana sa casa but hindi naman lumabas ang sound when i was there so inuwi ko ulit. the sound is intermittent but frequent.

How many have experienced this problem? based on the previous posts solutions are greasing to clutch replacement. Can you share the solutions?

Is this alarming? Considering the number of this kind of noise problem, is this normal with M/T stradas?

My truck is only 5 months old and with only 6500 kms on it.

BTW, the noise is heard regardless when the engine is running or off.

Thanks

I doubt if the installation of HID bulbs can be a reason for the moisture in the HL's. Basically, you can install them without having any worries.

Problem is, 8000k is too much. Masakit yan sa mata. It can blind oncoming motorists, bigtime. What can you do ? ..

Option 1.
1. Sell your 8000k H.I.D ( Probably 5k ? Dunno. Haha. )
2. Get a set of bolt on projectors ( w/ HID .. 4300k temp * 14k )

or ...

Option 2.
1. Sell your 8000k H.I.D
2. Get a set of Osram Nightbreakers or Philips Xtreme Power ( gives a whitish output but no glare costs around 1.3k )
3. Get a set of good yellow bulbs for the foglights ( ~ 1k also. )

May sukli ka pa ...

Personally, I'd go with Option 2. ;)

Wow, thanks sa replies guys... dami pa palang options... hehehe... baka pa palit ko nga to a less brighter HID... di rin ako fan ng mga nakakasilaw na ilaw e... lalo na pag ikaw ang sinisilaw.... heheheh... salamat uli...

Actually sir, 4,300kelvin gives the highest lumens (brightness). It gives off the most usable light for driving with good penetration sa fog. Parang ordinary halogen bulb nga lang ang color output (same with stock HID equipt cars like Honda CRV 4x4). I would go with option 2 also if you don't plan on modifying the stock headlamp assembly. The xenon-filled 60/55watt H4 (Philips Xtreme Power and Osram Night Breaker/Night Breaker Plus) have the brightness close to high wattage bulbs but without the burning effect on the headlamp inner polycarbonate lens. They also have very good cut-off on low beam since the stock headlamp reflectors are designed for the brightness of regular H4 bulbs.

mga sirs, lately may napansin ako sa steering wheels ko. parang may noise na may leakage of air every time i turn the steering wheels, is this normal?

Partner Makisali lang po..Kung napansin mo lang lately then hindi ito normal. I suggest ipa check mo sir. If wala ka pang time, then wait for the advise of the other members kung may safety issue sa naririnig mong "air leak". If may safety issue na then you need to make time to bring your pickup sa suki at trusted mong Casa.

Pero wala ako nakitang TSCP sticker sa likod.

More than 3 years ang strada ko with that noise your referrng to. Sa akin , normal yan. Its like when press the clutch wala noise, then you release the clutch and naka neutral ang gear meron like metal to metal sound, yes its also intermittent. Casa tried adjusting but babalik din.

Sa akin sir, its not a problem to worry about. Hth.

Baka magalit gf niya at magtampo kapag binenta yung HID na binigay. Hehe.

Bili ka na lang o itrade-in mo yung bulb mo to 4300-6000k Kelvin. IMO, 6000K is tolerable, ganun kasi yung akin. Anyways, 1 yr na yung akin at talagang sinusubukan kong sirain (on - off, hi - lo - hi - lo) pero ayaw talaga. Hehe. Magupgrade kasi ako ng projector.

:um: bigay mo nalang kaya saakin ... :rofl01:

sayang naman. nyahahahahahaha.

retrofitted or bolt on papalagay mo, bro ?

Yung bolt - on lang siguro bro, ayos lang ba yun? Para kasing namamahalan ako dun sa retrofit at kesa yun na lang, magpoprojector headlamps na lang ako yung assembly na may angel eyes na. Hmmmm.

[renzo_d10]

It serves its purpose. Pero basically, it's kinda off sa H4 headlights. Maliit kasi yung diameter. Unlike sa retrofitted ones na mas malaki and the shroud looks good with it. ( aesthetic purpose )

Isa pang plus ng bolt-ons is yung span of time na makakabit siya, maikli lang. Usually kaya in several hours unlike sa retrofitting which takes days. Mga dalawang araw.

Though cons niya is yun nga, light output is narrower than the retrofitted ones. Hindi mo pa rin mamamaximize yung HID mo.

Sa retrofitted naman, pros niya is ang ganda ng output ! Depende rin sa projectors actually, yung kay nighthawk .. sa corolla niya ang alam ko naka lexus projectors yun eh. Damn, 8 lanes yung sakop. Pero syempre, mahal. Usual FXR projectors can take up 4 lanes and malayo yung abot ng light.

Cons, mahal. Sayang pag nabangga ...

-

BTW, if you want a good set of bolt-ons, kay garyq ka. Check his thread, gulat ako .. lapad din ng ilaw nung bolt on projectors na inooffer niya. And mas cheap ata.

And yeah, nabanggit mo na sinisira mo HID mo. Wag mo na gawin yan, pwede na yan gamitin mo sa bolt-ons. Atleast less gastos

Pahabol.

Eto bolt ons ni garyq. Ganda diba.
