HID on Stock Headlights
 

i have the whole hid assebly 8000k but they are only for the high beams
i was wondering what would happen if i plugged in the balast to the stock headlight... anyone one ever done this or heard of it thanks

ppl will die, blinding everyone as you drive by or are in the beams of your head lights.

But wait till Ixfxi chimes in lol hell let you know whats up

High beams? lol, yea blind people for sure.

I run two sets of HID's on my car. 8k and 12k. Lovely. Buuutt, i point them down just a little bit so it doesnt blind people.

Anything above 6000k is just blue light, so you're getting maybe 60% of the usable light you could have with correct bulbs. This doesn't even take into account using them in the wrong housings like you plan to do.

not a good idea. :down:

Wait wait...are you asking what would happen if you plugged the HID ballast into the standard bulbs?

Either they would burn out quickly or they wouldn't work. Either way you risk damage to the ballasts, which may result in some various bad things happening.

Putting High Intensity bulbs (a shitty HID kit) into a Halogen housing/projector is a no-no. If you want HID's do it the right way the first time and retro-fit OEM Xenon projectors

i have seen a few s13's with HID's in h4 housings. its pretty much a flood light listen to everyone on the forum and just do not do it.

I USED TO HAVE THIS, AHAHA IN 3400K IT WAS WORSE! Drivers behind would always wonder why the freeway signs would bling them with golden lite ahahah
but this was when i was 17 amd a dumb fucken idiot so DONT DO IT!

... thanks
i dont think i want to try it. im just going to stick with my highbeams and point them down slightly... thanks everyone

Umm...how about you just not run them. No matter how low you point down your high beams, you will still blind people. High beams doesnt have any damn cut-offs. Hence the reason you have high beams and low beams. If your really set on running these gheto "HIDs", go buy the same debased HID bulbs for your low beam. Still gheto but wont be as fucking horrible as what your planning on doing.

those lights do blind. Ive seen them myself.

I'm guessing you have a S13? Just buy some H4 housings and select the Hella +50% xenon.

that's bad.

hpipro4.. i see no cutoff

they're not projectors.... They just have alittle piece of concave glass attached there, to make it look cool I guess

yeah, that cutoff is no good.

gordo- i would not recommend pointing them down and driving around with them on. as stated earlier by fliprayzin, there is no cutoff on high beams. if you look at most cars w/ seperate high/low beams, the low beams have shields and highs do not. if for s14, you are better off purchasing another kit for the low.

ideally retrofit is best.

something like this:

which produces a cutoff like this:

hit up mmm858 for more details.

Are you running around at the moment around doing city driving with your high beams on? I hope not, because if you are somebody should punch you in the face.

"Not that bad"? Good god man, that shit is HORRIBLE!

Wow you deserve to be kicked in the balls.

besides having shitty light output. why are you guys all bitching about blinding people with your hid hi beams. i know that when i have my high beams on and i see a car i turn them off.

before when i did not have them adjusted people would always flash there highbeams as they drove the oppisite way. a cop even pointed his flood light at me once but have not got pulled over yet. (knock on wood)
now that i have them adjusted people dont seem to mind on count that they are really low.
ill get some pictures of mine tonight

Maybe I need to clean my headlights but my stock headlight output is absolutely terrible compared to other cars on the road. As ugly as I think it is a retrofit is the right way to go if you do HID. Have you looked into upgrade to higher quality halogen bulbs?

You must not live in a city or the suburbs, because if you did there's no way you could ever drive around with high beams on and not be an asshole.

did not have a chance to get a pic of them.......Tonight For Sure
and lets see some pic of other peoples HIDs Also list some specs.

lol @ this thread. stop being ghetto please. you are giving us all a bad name.

Hmmm I have 4300k in a Kouki, picture: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...p/IMG00143.jpg

That's a slanted driveway, I just wanted to show the cut off/right side lift.
