HID suggestion

[rap2_tan]

Tsikoteeers, need some suggestions on my 1st gen vios, actually its a gen 1.5
Im planning to put HID
im really torn between 4300k ang 6000k sa headlights yung 55watts sana
Maganda sana 6000k, pero sabi nila bulag na ito pag umuulan. Im really after the looks at the same time yung safety and brightness,
Im also considering na Naka medium tint ako sa windshield
How about sa fogs? Im into euro theme so medyo out na ang 3000k sa choices ko
Hope to hear some inputs sa mga naka HID on what would you recommend the best color temp. Thanks!

4300k po pinakamaliwanag. For me safety first before anything else. You might wanna check garyq's thread regarding HID projectors. There are infos there as well about HID systems.

[rap2_tan]

Thanks sa input sir
I guess you are also a VCP forum member
Im really thinking going into 4300k
Sabi naman nila sa 4300k halos parang d ka din nagpalit
parang stock lang kasi

[Chikselog]

Yup VCP forumer din po hehe.

True, slightly whitish than stock ang 4300k pero di hamak mas maliwanag hehe. IMO there's a reason naman kung bakit ang stock halogens ay color yellowish at hindi blue hehe.

Retrofit or get whitish halogens.

[rap2_tan]

Medyo pricey kasi ang retrofit sir

Malaki kasi chance na glare lang ang magiging output kapag sa stock reflector nilagay yung HID bulb since they weren't designed to be plug and play sa reflector HLs. Daming ganito sa kalsada and it really is annoying to say the least. I agree with jhnkvn maybe get a Phillips XP or Osram NB or any other similar bulbs.

pasakay sa thread TS, tanong ko lang sir, Philips XP or Osram NB, pede na ba to kung magpadark tint ako on a rainy night? Balak ko kasi pa maniac tint but at the same time ayoko mag hid kung nakakainis sa mga kasalubong ko, medyo mahal kasi pag projector. 2nd option is fog lamps with hid but not projector, again kung hindi ito nakakainis sa kasalubong.

No idea sir as I haven't used one before. May threads naman po about aftermarket halogen bulbs, search na lang po natin. Pero IMO wag na mag super dark tints kung di kinakailangan. As garyq said in another thread, yun ang pinakamalaking kalaban ng ilaw. Kaya I chose one of the lightest shade of tint lang (3M BC35) kasi di ko rin maeenjoy ilaw ko kapag mag super dark ako. The BC35 provides enough privacy na. Reflective kasi and pati sa gabi di ako kita ng nasa harap ko, sakto lang.

[BratPAQ]

Ok thanks sa suggestion sir, baka ganun na nga lang.

TS, kung hindi ka magpaparetrofit at plug-and-play lang gagamitin mo, do everyone else a favor and just stick to halogen bulbs. Ang daming taong nagtitipid with plug and play bulbs na perwisyo lang sa daan.

Sa totoo lang hindi naman impressive yung sobrang bluish na ilaw, I'd much rather have bright halogens than useless 6000K plug-and-play HIDs.

[rap2_tan]

Tnx sir sa input
Medyo mahal kasi pa reteofit eh
How about 4300k?

[Chikselog]

Worth it naman ang ipon kapag magpaparetro, talagang maximized ang output ng HID and more importantly, di ka pa nakakasilaw sa kasalubong mo. Ang plug and play HID kasi 90% of the time nakakasilaw talaga, pwera na lang yung mga reflector HLs that were designed for HID bulbs such as the FD 2.0, TOTL Accord and the Forester.

Honestly feeling ko mas maximized pa ang ilaw mo kapag nag aftermarket halogen bulbs ka. Kapag HID kasi sabog ang ilaw, hindi focused sa road, kaya nakakasilaw.

[jut703]

Kung kapos ka sa budget, ba't ayaw mong mag Osram Nightbreaker nalang?

ung iba kasi na nag HHID sa stock headlight hindi inaadjust ung tutok,,siyempre ung tutok ng HL was made for the stock bulb,,iba na tutok ng HID bulb,,im using HID hindi naka retrofit pero hindi ako nakakabwisit sa daan dahil maayos pagkakatutok kaya hindi nasisilaw mga kasalubong ko,,nakakabwisit lang pag nag hi na ko,ginagamit ko lang ung hi pag nakakasalubong ng kups na naka highbeam habang nag ddrive mapa HID man or stock.
