I had HID's in my coupe with a H4H conversion. They sucked. Just keep your regular lights, DA and EG,EJ, housings suck for HID'setups. Unless you retro a projector in. They will scatter the light too much. And besides not being able to see that well in rain and what not, you will blind oncoming drivers.

Truth. Any headlight housing using reflectors (i.e. non-projector), ESPECIALLY ones using dual filament bulbs, is awful with HID's. Scatters light, blinds oncoming drivers, hot spots, etc. Just try and get a quality regular bulb (Silverstars, Hella, etc.)

HID's do scatter light in regular headlight housings. But the light can be controlled somewhat by aiming the headlights correctly. No, it wont be projector quality aiming and brightness. But it can still work.

Plus I am so sick of people giving people hassles for HID lights. Who cares if I blind some rich ***** in his BMW SUV with HID's? HID headlights in SUV's blind the **** out of everyone anyhow. And those freakin HID's in the Altima's...omg so poorly aimed from the factory.

I prefer being hit in the eyes by a unprojected headlight with HID's than one that is projected RIGHT into my ******* eyes. lol

HID's last longer than regular bulbs. Use less wattage. Burn cooler. Produce more light (which might or might not be used).

THOUGH...if you want some good lights that actually have a warranty on them you can always get http://www.luminicsbulbs.com/.

They are awesome. I had the JDM yellow in my Prelude for a while. They were bright and the company is good for the 1 year warranty.


Though I do respect other peoples opinions on them. I have just seen them work in regular headlights with very little "glare" and optimizing most of the available light.

This is merely MY opinion on what I have seen in the past.

I just figure that H4H bulbs, new, are about 100 bucks for a pair.

HID kits can be about 45 - 60 bucks more... Thats it.

false... ive got HID's in the Mustang... never gotten as much as a flash from oncoming drivers and im running OEM Ford housings.

actually aiming your headlights is teh biggest thing, and as long as teh light source is in the same location, i.e. filament and the arc in the HID, then the light pattern will be the same. most people that have problems get bulbs that arent made to fit correctly, they just buy the cheapest ones and have problems...

Damn where did you look, Raybrigs are only $79.95. I paid less than $45 bucks for mine shipped. And password has OEM replacement ones for $29.95. And those prices are for H4H bulbs. Trust me I have bought quite a few for people, since I have sold all my JDM headlights. I have passJDM in my car now, but the raybrig 4100's have been the best I have ever used. Forgot them in the last set I sold

Whats up biznatches?!

Someone buy my LS motor. I have abrand new timing belt for it. No water pump, tensioner, crank gear, t-stat, and missing some bolts here and there. Otherwise complete long block. not in the greatest of shape, but it does run and not burn oil while idling/driving. only while hard accelerating/driving or compression braking.

$200

Also selling my extra set of remote battery terminals and odyssey battery mount/box.

$12 for the terminals and $35 for the battery mount/box. both bought from summit and NEVER used.

Glad it worked in your mustang, it will not work in an eg or DA though. Ask Jon how well his worked. He tried everything, aiming the lights had NO impact really. He even tried to use some shields to get the light to project out instead of up. They do not work better than a halogen without actually doing a retrofit and using the projector.

I want HID's in my 4 door but I'm not doing it unless I do a full retrofit.

Hid's are just a way to spend $300 to see what you can with $50. I have spoken with about 15 people and spent countless hours working on them like Joe said. Even used the ones out of a IS300 that don't use a projector, and they won't shine correctly. The housing is not set up right for it. Casper shields, barrier, paint none of that **** works. Know why? cause they aren't made for it. haha. The only vehicle that I got them to work quite well in was my dodge ram. They worked stellar in my fogs on the pickup.
