Sweet! Where did you buy your 4300's at?

chameleon

their oem 4300k hid's think off an infinity, copped them off a friend a whilez back.

Egone

looks good

just wondering what did you need from the infiniti to make it fit??

chameleon

just bare bulb and the connector, since the jdm headlights h4h bulbs are small there isnt much room to play with, so the oem clip is what is holding the bare bulb down. its not coming out or loose i can tell ya that.

have u had any problems with the headlights yet? like melting? since there plastic....

chameleon

whoa ..good question.. im going to have to check up on them ..
although i dont think i have to worry much ..regular bulbs draw more heat and current than HID's do ..they take only 35w ..so i really doubt they heat up as high to cause the plastic to melt ..but chit ima check.

Looking good man, nice job, can do a close up of how the bulb is holding in place, looks like a cheap way of doing an HID job!!!

Thanks

looks good, but what is that buzzing.

chameleon

I have this little buzzer that was there when i got the car, buzz's when the lights are on and the car isnt on ..annoying at times but it helps me not leave the lights on by mistake ..i though it was oem until i figured it out.

i wondered what that was!

HID will not melt the headlamps, they burn a lot cooler than halogen does.. if you dont have to worry about halogen melting your lamps, you definetly dont have to worry about HID..


edit:

whoooa man.. i dont mean to hate on your HID..but from that beam pattern, i know 2 things for sure.

1. your halogen bulbs were giving you 100% more usable light..

2. you are blinding EVERYONE that drives in front of you, as well as oncoming traffic.. you might want to work with the beam pattern correction a little bit.

Civicboy

I agree with MTK.

WanTing

agree with that.

chameleon

as it seems i dont blind anyone, no one highbeams me like when i used to blind people in my accord so i know for some miracle these dont blind anyone, but yes i do agree, the halogens lit up wide and well ..i just threw these in and left em so to be honest i have not aimed them at all.

ebelp

Nice vid

MTK Kommander

you wont be able to aim them.. a couple years ago my friend did this on his civic.. he got a set of SiR headlights and threw some non beam pattern corrected bulbs on them, and he lit up every tree and roof he drove by.. you're gonna have to customize the bulb so that the gas bubble in the HID bulb sits inside the housing at exactly the same point that the halogen bulb does..then it will work.. and make sure the black band on the bulb is on the bottom..

chameleon

yeah ima take a day project for it ...geez

looks tight yo

You have no problems with condensation developing in the housing since the bulb is not sealed?
