NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID
OKAY OKAY OKAY by popular demand, I have finally taken pics of my lights at night. I took these with my friend's S2000 beside my car so we could compare. Yes his OEM HID looks MUCH better than mine. His beam pattern is also wayyyy better than mine. But oh well, mine are still soooo much better than stock halogen. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

You can also see how much more even and spread out the S2000 beam pattern is, compared to the hot spot on the ground in front of my car. Yes I would love some OEM HID projectors, but I just don't have the time, money, or resources right now to be hacking up some headlights right now. Maybe in the future.

Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (Jmm0056)
at first i thought your lights were better cause they seemed to be much brighter. then i noticed how the s2k's lights spread out much farther. but nice lights anyway

Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (PatrickGSR94)
Looks great! I'm definitely getting a conversion when the car is running properly again!
S2000's are by far the best HID's I've ever seen though! Goldfingiz |
Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (brinks)

Which hids do you have?

Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (Kevins2k)
Which hids do you have? oh yeah, whoever thinks they have to get some 6000K or higher kit because the 4300K is too yellow, uhhh no. My headlights are not the least bit yellow, not one little bit. Straight up pure white. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif [Modified by PatrickGSR94, 9:38 AM 12/15/2002] |
Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (Kevins2k)
hey patrick...finally you got some pics..I knew your pics would turn out great!
Like everyone else, I thought yours were brighter than the S2K, but its because your lights light up the ground more where as the S2K lights have a wider spread and probably light up a farther distance, since they dont produce the hot spots on the ground in front of the car. I always think my beam patten with the 4300k kit is always brighter than other cars with HID, but Im only looking at the light output on the ground...not the beam pattern it produces....either way..im really happy with mine......great pics! |
Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (GS-ssbp-R)
Would 98+ headlights be any different?

Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (Understeer)
Would 98+ headlights be any different? imo your HID's look better then the s2k's in terms of usable light on the ground but then i cant tell how far they go im excited mines should be on their way https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif |
Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (airon)
Your HID's put a lot more light to the ground compared to the S2K.... https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (Understeer)
sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, but what all did you do? yousaid a Phillips kit i believe but was it a kit made especiallyfor the 9006 lights or sumthing? if you could just tell me everything you know about the hid setup. im really interested in doing this.

Your HID's put a lot more light to the ground compared to the S2K.... https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif And I'm pretty sure the actual projector assembly was the same throughout all 94-01 Integras, so the beam pattern in a 98-01 headlight should look exactly the same as mine. |
Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (PatrickGSR94)
yours look good https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (PatrickGSR94)
is the s2k lowered? looks like you got yourself a good investment with the HIDs
|
Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (PatrickGSR94)
I wouldn't worry nor ponder over it too much
I know when I'm out driving at night, I feel much safer and feel more comfortable because I can see signs from far away and actually see what is going in front of me. I was driving on the highway last with with a huge raintstorm and needless to say I could see everything in view, I know with halogens, the lane markers would not have been visable because it was almost a lake out there. |
Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (PatrickGSR94)
Where'd you get your HID kit Patrick? how much?

Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (aladdin213)
Same kit that I got from Trevor at http://www.visualdynamics.ca

Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (Understeer)
I took about 3 hours because I had to figure out where to put the ballasts... I also took my bumper and right side headlight off altogether.
I did figure out that on 94-97 Integras, the right side HID bulb can be put in or removed w/o taking the headlight assembly out. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emhammer.gif on me Yes the S2000 is lowered with Neuspeed springs. It looks pretty slammed right now, I couldn't even get my floor jack under the OEM front lip. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmileo.gif He's talking about switching to KG/MM springs, but I dunno if he's going to or not.

Re: NIGHT HID PICS as requested + S2000 HID (PatrickGSR94)
