Philips Ultinon HID Kit

[mdpo]

Just bump on this one:

Ungas: review naman with regards te hid kit's performance during the rainy season here in MM.

Also what should be declared para walang tax? I think sulatan as sample and declared as how much?

thanks,

[Ungas]

Whoa! It is alive!!! :mrgreen:

Sir mdpo nasulat ko na po sa review section yung request nyo. Btw, thanks to sir jedi. :D

HID Review: On rainy nights and fogs ahead <<=== click on this short cut.

I'll be happy to oblige to any of your queries. :D

Para iwas sa mataas na tax, declare under 100USD value. Kung declared as sample the value should not reach above 10USD.

[mdpo]

ungas: thanks a lot

Ungas,

Have u seen the ads at PDI, meron nang dealer ng dito, US brand, baka ikaw ang may-ari nito :lol:

Nanganak kasi yong aso noong isang kaibigan ko, kaya hinakot lahat ng lumang dyaryo, kasama na yong kahapon, kaya di na ma-post ang name at brand.

[Ungas]

RedHorse::: Nakita ko rin po yung ads ng McCollough (spelling?) brand. From what I know, it is famous for chainsaw products and parts. Di ko po kaya magtayo ng HID business, masyadong malaki ang money involved. :mrgreen:

AFAIK, there are only two companies that manufacture HID Ballasts. Hella and Philips. Sa HID bulb Philips lang po ang gumagawa. Yung mga available sa market na iba't-ibang brands ay rebadged or may have been re-manufactured.

mdpo::: Welcome po sir. Kung bibili po kayo ng HID, better wait for a couple of weeks more. Balita ko magbababa sila ng prices. Heard from the grapevine that the H4 single beam type will be lowered to 25K while the H4 Hi-Low beam types will be sold at 35K. Imo, mas maganda pa siguro bumili ng locally available kits, kung may masira man na parts (ballast, fusible link, relay [4 lang ang paa]) mas madaling kumuha at meron pamalit.

[boybi]

Ungas, saan ba yang sinasabi ng grapevine mo?

[Ungas]

Authorized importer ng HID kits. Di ko rin alam kung san office. :D

mazdamazda::: All HID kits that I know of are plug and play. Your existing OEM headlight wiring will only be used for turning it on and passing flash. The ballasts are probably made in Japan. Their color temps are over rated, imo. Standard color temps are 4300K, 6000K, 8000K, 10,000K and some even have 15,000K. 8O I used to have the 4300K which is like super whites on Halogen measurement. My current bulbs are 6000K, which has bluish white color. And before I forget ask about their warranty. :D

Btw the hi/lo movement they are using is stil the traditional moving up and down of the bulb. Asked them with regards ungas concern they say they enocunter no same problem (crack) so far.

Any suggestions please.

thanks,

[dexter]

brightest depend sa model na kukunin mu just dont forget that as the color temperature goes up the lumens goes down but nevertheless mas malakas pa din sa halogen yun... yung mga 10000K medyo purple na yun 5500K is like sunlight ... so far yun yung balance between lumens and whiteness but nasa sayo pa din yun kung gusto mu kunin yung 7000K mas maputi wla nang hint of yellow.

[RedHorse]

dexter,

So, what do you suggest for use on a rainy night? The 5000K or the 7000K?

[dexter]

panu ba mag post dito ng file ? may file ako about this color temp. e... anyway you can email me your email address then sesend ko nalang sa inyo... depende sa use talaga but ang gitna is 5500K which is sunlight but i guess hangang 7000K pwede pa yung 8000K saka ung 10000K pang porma na tlaga kasi 8000 is blue & 10000K is purple na e lahat ng kit ko is McCulloch brand wla akong philips or hella bulb or ballast kasi di pwede yun chop chop di naman pinapayagan ng mga big co. gamitin mga piyesa nila e bawal yun. yung H4 Hi-Low beam ko is like what ungas is using may wings yung shiekd ng H4 so pag hi beam nag oopen yung wings to let more light out, instead of the other style which is parang yung reflector ang nigagalaw, which is really mahirap gamitin kasi buong light itataas nya, sa baba mawawalaan ng ilaw naman. ito more light will come out so sa baba meron pa din na dagdagan lang sa taas, but as ungas was saying hdi din substantial yung layo hdi magiging pencil beam na iththrow ng malayo yung ilaw... yung akin lang pwede mu palakasin kasi na tatangal yung shield sa tuktok para mas lalakas kung may reflector na yung car built in sa headlight. email or txt me if you have more questions, i would gladly send you more data. hid*post.com 9175342496

sir ungas aka lighting guru, sa kakaresearch ko about HID, decided na ako sa philips brand nalang. sa ebay ako naghanap. wala na daw hi/low ngayon dahil may issues daw. may mga nasisiraan daw. kaya puro sinle beam nalang daw. may uuwi kasi akong relative in 2 weeks kaya medyo kailangan ko na magdecide.

do we really need hi/low? sabi kasi sa tsikot threads hindi naman talaga ganun kalayo pag switched to high. can you please confirm this. is it worth the additional 10th para sa hi/low. medyo pricey na kasi. meron sila new color temp 5000k daw. para sa mga nahihirapan magdecide kung yellow or white. gaya ko, whta do you think.

[garyq]

madami nang info na-post regarding the upgrades to HID. From all the info I also gathered, if you will convert try not to go higher than 6000k which will give you the most light on the road. A combination lower fog lamp and higher driving lamps will, for most people solve the problem at a very reasonable price. For an H4 bulb, the best out there IMHO is the OSRAM SIlverstar +50%. You can see many sights sa Net giving this a very good review. I've tried the Philips Vision Plus (+30%) and even bought a PIAA sa U.S but the most light I got was with the Silverstar. You cant beat the price of Php 450 each or 900 for the pair. Sa Masangkay ko binibili yung mga bulbs ko. May mga iba lang naka HID nakaka-asar coz talagang nakatutok sayo yung ilaw. I think you have to adjust the headlights after installing an HID coz malakas talaga.

[Ungas]

Yes, there have been isssues involvong the hi-low beam on H4 single headlight assemblies. Di rin naman ganun kalaki ang naitutulong ng hi-beam ng HIDs. Yung sa akin ginawa ko na lang single beam. Then used the aux halogen lights to perform its bright mode.

If you can compare how the 4000, 5000 & 6000K differs from one another, get the 5000K it's the Sun's color temp. So you should be able to see clearly.

And yes, after installing HID bulbs, you will have to modify your headlight alignment and lower the beam projection a bit. To avoid glaring oncoming traffic. MAdami nang nagkakabit ng HIDs without knowing how to re-align their beams. KAya ang damign nagrereklamong motorists about HID. Kapabayaan ng iba, nadadamay tuloy ang maayos.

[promdiboy]

thanks garq and sir ungas. Will order the 5000k. your inputs are greatly appreciated.
