ok so i have these sonar projectors and white lense stock looking fog lights.

i think the bulb size for the fogs and head lights is h1's

so could i buy 3 h1 HID kits with single beam? with different color temps?

currently i have a single beam h4 with a 12000k set for lowbeam and no high beams and no fog lights?

thanks for your help@!

commotion

wow has nobody done this?

superbean

most of those kits unless they are dual projector eliminate the high beams.

whatever bulb size the housing is, get the correct HID for it and your set. I would stay away from the 10K plus lighting, it's retarded blue and doesn't help lighting at all. Stick with a 5k-6k color to keep the cops off your ***.

yah im going to need to get 3 single beam sets total one for high low and fog my projectors have a spot for high and a spot for low beam kinda like the 01 tegs

i was thinking like 3k or whatever the yellow color is for the fogs. and like 12000k for high and 6000k for low beam what do you guys think

12000k is useless for anything other than looks. ive seen this brought up many times and cause im a curious little bastrd i just gotta know it all( doesnt every one hahaha). but in my quest for total domination ive come to find the general consensus is that anything above 8k actually has less light output even though its brighter. but hey dont qoute me, im still a noob at HID's

screw the light output! as long as it looks nice! any color HID is better than stock stupid halogen bulb. i have a friend who got 4300k on the stock headlights, they look pretty damn good, oldschool!!!!!!!

A 4300K temp bulb will get you the best light output beacause it is the closest to daylight. The reason why it has the best output is because that is what our eyes are used to (daylight). So if you really want ricer blue lights go with 8000K (or whatever you want) low beams and 4300K highs. After all you use your high beams to see more right? It would make sense to have your hight beams produce less light output than your lows. Just my .02.

now am i going to have to modd these sonar projectors? on the back it said not for HID's is that because of heat or something?

Ideally not just any projector can be used.. as they have no cutoff or reflectors on them and can blind oncoming cars.

Ever thought about retrofitting tsx projectors, or lexus units?

The reason they say NOT FOR HID is because they are not meant for HID's, only halogen bulbs. That does'nt mean you cant run HID's in there though. The projector is designed for halogens and by putting HID's in there, there will be glare for other drivers and may cause accidents. The best way to properly put HID's in a car that did not come with OEM HID's is to do a retrofit.

EX. Putting Honda S2K, Acura TL, Infinity FX35 or whatever OEM HID projector into a set of your OEM housings.

well i already have the sonar projectors i really like them is is possable to mod them to add a reflector?

Just run it like that as long as you don't have 8000k plus attracting cops in the first place you should be fine, although I have 10000k's and got pulled over twice in a year with no tickets don't risk it plus the lighting is crappy stick with 4000k

hahahaha this makes me lol. sure they look "cooler" than standard bulbs but reducing the amount of light you put on the road while blinding other drivers for the sake of looking cool...? so who cares if it works, as long as it looks cool...
