BEFORE YOU COMMENT AND JUST LOOK AT THE PRETTY PICTURES READ THE POST!!

I got these used from a member on here who previously had plug and play HIDs installed....not the cheap ones either....they were mcholluch or however you spell it...like 350 bucks. I was taking them apart to do a few minor mods to them and discovered why:
PLUG AND PLAY HIDs SUCK ***** BEYOND THE OTHER WELL KNOWN REASONS(glare, light going everywhere, etc.):

as you can see the bulbs got so hott in there that it started to melt a section and burned up a good amount of the housing


So I ran to pepboys and got some krylon chrome paint...the paint isn't really chrome like the can said, but more of a very reflective silver

masked the area off, sprayed let it dry and here's the finished product:



I'm just hoping the overall quality of lighting is still pretty decent when I put normal bulbs in.

I'm going to assume the other one is like this too, but I don;t know for sure yet


and because it came up several times before a mod cleaned the thread, YES THESE ARE REAL JDM DEL SOL HEADLIGHTS....I just did a restoration how to thread a few day ago on them

That sucks man, making me think twice about getting a plug and play for my bike.

 

i thought HID's were cooler than regular bulbs?

No, you sound like the dumb one here buddy. The previous owner of the headlamps had HID's in them, not him. Have some respect and read with a little more care from now on.

LOL I know, but the thread has already had all the replys wiped out once due to fucktards not being able to read

 

Are those HID's 50W or 35W???
If they are 50 then thats why you dont buy them

 

I honestly have no clue whzat the guy used

 

nice save!

ive never seen plug and play HIDs do that to a headlight. that's odd.
