Anyone have HIDs on their Integra's? I am about to upgrade my lights to phillips HID system.

I did the 9005 to 9006 conversion and the housing already gets extremly hot. I'm just wondering if the 4300-6000K HIDs will damage or melt the housing. I do not want that to happen.

 

HID's operates at 35w....it will generate much less heat....in fact so little heat that you can hardly feel

 

damn, I cant wait to get HIDs. They project more light on the ground, which is helpful in those dark rainy/foggy conditions..or night driving in the mountains.

yea, HID compared to bright bulbs are a lot cooler running, especailly in a tiny housing like the integs

 

i have philips kit in my integra, no problem with heat

 

Awesome. Thanks for info. I didn't realize all that about HIDs.

 

I never had a problem w/ heat when running 9005 bulbs in the projectors. It's only 9 watts more than regular 9006's. I ran 9005's for 1.5 yrs w/o problems.

 

i have mcculloch kit, and everything seems fine, no heat problems, you'll love hids

 

i got some catz HID's in my teg. they are really nice. check out http://www.liteswap.com.

i put mine on thrusday night.... All i do is wait till it gets dark then drive around.. I love it

 

i got mccolluch's as well. no problems whatsoever. had them for about a year and a half not. got them from LEGEND MOTORSPORT in cerritos for about 450, product and install.

 

if only i had the money for HID...and about a zillion other mods I want. HID's add a nice touch to any ride, both for show and use. Good luck with them.

 

Just be careful of what you buy... just because it says "Philips Kit" does not necessarly mean it is all Philips or that the capsules are even genuine...

Make sure the bases are molded and not glued or machined....
