Sweet bro!
awesome deal for HIDs!
Awesome, I think me and a friend are going 50/50 on it, good HIDs for $60
Hmmm 1 for heads 1 for fogs....So anyone know the verdict on whether or not the ebay heads can stand HIDs?
I am just curious, but why spend the money on HID's when you can get H4 bulbs that are just as bright, powerful, same colors, and same wattage as HID's.
Good part is the H4's cost half the price as a HID kit.
Im just curious of the benifit that HID's give back verses H4 bulbs.
hids are alot brighter if i'm not mistaken.
HID are way brighter!!!! There is no comparison between HID's and upgraded H4 bulbs, Spend the money and you will find out. I had HID's and they broke and i cant stand driving without them now :(Quote:

Brightness is rated in Lumens usually Hid depending bulb and quality surpass 2500 Lumens (for example my philips hid bulbs d2s put out 3400 lumens) while stock halogens put out at the most around 1500 Lumens if even....
I had a set of aftermarket H bulbs before the wattage was 65 low and i think the high was 85 watts if im not mistaken might have been 90 watts. They were plenty bright. I would say they could have been comparable with HID's. They were so bright I had to put tinted light covers on my car so I wouldnt get pulled over anymore. And they were still brighter then your high end OEM/aftermarket replacement bulbs.
I will try to find the sight where I found some higher end H4 upgrades. I think they will be compairable if the correct ones are purchased.
And the lasted longer then I owned the car, over 2 years. The guy I sold the car to still had them a yr after i sold it to him.

Philips Vision Plus H4: 1895/1150 lumen. (~3200K clear)
GE Megalight Plus H4: 1890/1150 lumen. (~3200K clear)
Osram Silverstar H4: 1700/1075 lumen. (~3200K clear)
Philips BlueVision H4: 1650/1000 lumen. (~4000K blue tinted)
Osram Cool Blue: 1650/1000 lumen. (~4000K blue tinted)
Sylvania Silverstar H4: 1500/910 lumen. (~4000K blue tinted)
Ok here is the site that I found some higher end H4's on. These are not the same ones I had before. Im not sure if they have discontinued the ones I had before or not.
But looking at some of the spec's of these ones I dont see why they could'nt be comparable to HID's.

HIDs also draw less power, most run at 35 watts RMS.
Been running HID in my Ebay projectors for 2 month now. No issues at all.Quote:

Has anyone ran the hids yet in the link? Just wanting some feedback before I buy them. I have bad luck with HIDS it seems.
Are the H4 hi/low or just lows?
H4 upgraded bulbs like said dont last very long. HIDs will last longer draw less power are pretty easy to install and brighter. The extra few bucks its a pure win situation. Unless you melt your fogs ;)
You have no business modding a car at all. Stop now & just read as much as you can on the forum about everything.Quote:

H.I.D.bulbs have their own powersource they take energy from, they are brighter trust me.
any regular bulb that will emit a beam as bright as H.I.D. bulbs will fry the connector if not the whole headlight harness.
shit, silvania silverstars melt the connectors.
NO H4 bulbs will be as bright as HIDS!
^ lies lol
why spend on some that no one ever tried...Quote:

alot of us have them here, I personally have the 55w 6000k they are bright as f*ck lol
try the out, the only downside is they take about 2 weeks to come, but then again.. i'm in canada.
Luminics bulbs are ok but they do blow out after a couple months....Ive been through the whole bulb stage and i had the best Piaa's you can buy. I thought they were bright but when you get hid's your gonna see the huge difference when you drive...
Ive had alot of top of the line kits. The kit on my truck is from Xtralights.com and was 380.00 just for lows/hi. But I Havent tried ddm yet. Ill give em a shot on my Galant.Quote:

4G by the way I did keep the harness on the car and Im not on crack. But also I didnt plug them into my G. If im not mistaken I never said what kind of car I did put them in but they were real. As for silvania silverstars, I dont know what planet you are from but I installed those in my G. Yes they blew out way to fast for me to buy another set. But to fry the harness, you must have some kind of problem with your car. You might want to get it fixed.
I'll let you guys know when I get the H4 bulbs, then maybe I can meet up with someone who has HID's. And put both cars next to each other to compare. Then maybe this will finally set things straight. Untill then PEACE OUT, on this subject.
Oh, and by the way the bulbs I had before were the real deal. Unfortunatly the place I bought them from doesnt have them any more and no one can remember the name of them.

thats a thread i put up when i first got my DDMs, check it out and compare them to pictures of your bulbs.. lol guarantee they weren't nearly as bright as these... to tell you the truth, I can't drive behind work vans because the reflection off the rear steel bumber blinds me lol
Now, I don't suggest getting the 55w lol... way too bright, I get highbeams pointed at me all the time, unless you either don't mind, or plan on getting projectors lol... you should get 35w, it's only a matter of time before i get pulled for them lol I've had police shield their eyes a I pass by them.

Oh come on man. You didn't hurt a damn thing. Just ask yourself this question. If halogens are better than HID's how is it that all the big name cars (Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc..) use them on their cars?Quote:

Ok, by reading the whole thread, I think I can buy this kit (first link in thread), and just put it in my 100% stock 2000 Galant ES, without much hassle.
So, if there is someone in the Salt Lake Area that would like to buy this 50/50 with me, I will go for it...
;-)
Me like bright stuff :-D
umm..I think i am speechless....I ..well...*mouth agape* ...HID's are Godsend...now..I have used the Luminics bulbs in the Wife's Escape ....just to get away from Ford Factory Bulbs...and the upgrade from factory was nice...I think the bulb upgrade is good for that situation....it was only $29 and I got the Krypton Ultra Whites...they did the deed..made the wife happy and was way better than factory...Now used as an HID substitute.....I do not dare to compare to my 6Ks ....I love them ....love them..I am dying now cause I did buy a kit in a "deal" and my harness went bad..actually I thought it to be small..and it fried..and it was supposed to be well in regs for the HID support...I dont know what happened..but I have my replacement and will hook it up this weekend if I can...
anyone have the contact information for this site? I was waiting for a friend of mine to be ready to buy this and he's FINALLY ready.. I don't even know if the deal is going on anymore but the server seems to be down for the site so if it isn't back up within the next couple days I was going to see if I could call them or something
thanks
i installed HID 4250K H11 low beams and HID 3000K 9145 fogs in my girl's 2006 escape (LIMITED V6)... it's 1000x better than the stock lighting. btw, i installed full power/relay harnesses directly to the battery for the low beam HID and resistor packs to trick the bulb out warnings; works perfect and now her car has even better lighting than my car (i have 2 HID 6000K kits in my JDM's: hi, low and another HID 6000K kit in my PIAA fog projectors, 3 kits total).Quote:

The cool thing about planet hid's kits are the normal secondary bulb. It's programmed to work with your manufactured light switch, so for those nights you see cops coming your way, flip on your hi beams and it will switch from colored to normal, all in the same bulb! (comes in handy because most hid kits are illegal unless installed with projector headlights)
12000k must be bright as fuck. I just got some 10000ks from a friend and its all plug and play with a 9006 bulb harness so hookup is easy. Im ditching my old HID"s for a lil upgrade.
1 relay? whats the relay for (is it for wiring directly to the battery or is it to keep the low beams on w/ the high beam (dual bulb functionality vs. dual filament stock)? btw, that secondary normal bulb is your high beam and it is offset to change the beam pattern to raise the cutoff, so when you drive around w/ those on, you are blinding oncoming traffic. also, any HID kit installed on a car that does not have HID specific housings and HID levelers is technically illegal regardless if they are projector or not.Quote:

K actually is a measure of color temperature, in this context, and the higher that number goes, the DARKER the color and hence the less light output. optimally 8000K is the highest you want to go (and even that is too colored) in order to maintain performance. the reason OEM HID looks so colored is because they are almost always in projector housings... projectors refract light at the upper portion of the cutoff (what u usually see when looking at them) causing only blue/purple light to be seen, when in actuality they are putting out very white light below the cutoff. next time u see a car w/ HID projectors, lower your head to see how white the light really is (but don't blind youreself).Quote:
