LED conversion difficulties
Written by douglasvanb on 2/13/2012 at 06:52 am

Just wait until the two of us get picked up for one of those pimp-my-motorcycle
cable tv shows... "no no! it needs MORE trunk!"

Did you retrofit in a projector housing or did it drop straight in? I've seen
plenty of cars that have bulbs dropped into them and make crazy glare. Any
problems with that? Maybe I could learn how to do fiberglass work and fab up a
new headlight housing with built-in projectors... ;-)

Cheers!

Many kits have a high beam halogen bulb and a low beam HID. I bought that first
and in my opinion, those bite because the halogen is not even close to being as
bright as the HID. My bulb uses a magnetic built in switch that raises and
lowers the bulb for Hi and Low beam. No extra work required, it's built in, so
the same bulb is used for both positions.

July 2011. I have suffered no plastic melting of any kind. I still love the
improved brightness over the stock bulb, plus wider spread of light and greater
distance. Plus, the HID lights cause everything reflective to glow nice and
bright. Lines on the road, street sign letters, markers on vehicles.

10K. The 6K is kinda yellowish and the 8K is greenish. Both butt ugly in my
opinion and turns the world hideous shades. The 10K is pure white, slughtly
bluish and everything is true color.
