HID/cutoff

[91Shonewbie]

Thinking of doing hid in my head lights but don't want That stray / rouge light blinding on coming traffic any ideas.

I have 6000K 55w 9007 Dual beam HID's in new stock housings. I never get flashed.

When I replaced the headlight housings, I used stock bulbs and aimed them down and toward the middle of the car.

With the HID's the light pattern spreads. Highway driving is awesome. Tons of light.

 

[91Shonewbie]

That's good where did you get those? And how much?

 

[91Shonewbie]

Also how do you guys feel about LEDS for tail lights, the front corner lights, and how do I install and get them to work properly

I have stock bulbs in mine and people flash me. I checked the alignment on them and they're right I guess they're just really bright

You will need a digital flasher if you want to run LED's for a signaling bulb

Grote 44892 flasher

Got my LEDs here
For the reverse lamps, do not get the 26 SMD tower; it is too long and will not fit in the housing. Everything else fits fine and looks amazing.

Headlights, I found 55w 4500k bulbs on ebay for 9.99 shipped. Cheaper than stock replacement and are significantly brighter. You do however need the headlight harness to support the extra wattage. I got mine from SHOsource and was a breeze to install.

Very cool That info will hello on my quest Thank you guys.

Had anyone got an idea where to get clear. Lenses for our car and and where is a good site to get Headlight projectors. I know a few of the members started the projects but seem to have flaked off. Very frustrating.

 

[91Shonewbie]

Did an advance search, and I'm sorry about comment on flaking off they actually spent alot of time researching and designing these. I did an advance search on projector headlights.on and wala they're is a major pest on them

I just bought a pair of clear corners on ebay from this place.

A little late maybe, but save your money on the Grote flasher; modify your factory! You'll get adjustable rate too

I could never work out lenses (melted mine in the oven removing them from the backs) but I have my PCB designs still if you're interested in LED tails:

This is the proper way to do it:

Stock wattage for the 9007 bulb is 65w/55w so why would you need a new wiring harness? Now if you were getting something like, say, these bulbs then I could see the need for a new wiring harness to be safe.

 

[intimdatr]

Because the stock harness sucks. Plain and simple. Most after market harness are relayed producing a much stronger and steady study of voltage to the bulbs, IE: brighter headlights.

i have the lumens kit 6000k single beam high/low mechanical high/low operation hid kit
love it ! can't talk better about this kit if i tried. only thing i had todo was disable my drl's and unplug my bulb out sensor. i have the led tails and led reverse lights. also my lic light is all led's. looks awesome but i have normal bulbs up front. i found that led's seemed to not look quite right. and didn't seem to light the housing nicely.
