if u want to be a road bully and blinds everyone else's....then install......

otherwise,it's a waste of money and time. my own experience using HID too isnt very pleasant, it costs me rm400 to buy so called "good quality" hi-low beam HID using retractable moving HID bulbs with waranty, not even 2 months one of the ballast busted and the dealer refuse to give warranty....mch!

HID beam is useless in foggy weather, especially at nite in genting u can see NOTHING

bro Mick, i reckon u look for this guy in marketplace called 'jojo'. he sells high quality HID bulbs and ballasts at economical price. lasts very long too, dont worry bout the cops...as long as they don't ask you to pop the hood, they wont know its HID

i also suggest you get 4300k which is yellowish and adjust it low. around knee length when you stand a feet away from the headlamps. just don't wear high heels when ur adjusting...hehe

if you wanna go for quality assurance, i reckon Philips. one of the pioneers in lighting. but gotta fork out RM 2k plus which i think is too much

 

[zthis]

if yellowish, no point putting HID......normal good quality bulbs will do.

 

[PocketRocket]

so why not spend a lil more for HID thats still yellow and 10 times brighter than crap halogen?

practical night vision upgrade. yellow still able to penetrate rain and fog unlike white which reflects the droplets of water.

You will have problem during heavy rains. It will be very difficult for you to see further ahead.

You can try install for your anti-fog light, some people do it and it is much better than putting it in your head lights.

in my opinion,

dont get it done...seriously...last time i just put the whitish bulb also i kena saman cause "mengubah suai lampu".You want put HID..its damn irritating laa...always glare onto on coming traffic.OEM bulbs is good la...bright just go get some grounding kit + polish your headlamps if its yellowish and contaminated and your lamps will be beautiful for night diriving...if your vision is that bad,add spotlights..normal orange ones...and i think you'll be fine...avoid the hassle of police and very IRRITATED drivers coming on the opposite side...its so dangerous u know..it can cause temporary blindness for opposite drivers and might even cause MAJOR accidents to innocent ppl with families.The cars with original HID is very different..

Too many cons just to "look" nice.If you really cant see the road,,just do as i posted above...if you still cant see the road clearly at night...YOU SHOULDNT BE DRIVING!

 

[mick87]

AD EG,this is so true,,better not to endanger others life,since there are so many drivers disagree with the installation of HID,finally changed my mind not to change it la..without the proper installation might cause temp. blindness..but nw my current bulbs is Narva range power silver..look bit like white.But nt as bright also.

Youve done the right thing bro.

I too love how HID looks,but its not practical.the costs + danger + summons !!

 

[PocketRocket]

aftermarket spotlights have to be adjusted properly as well, if not its no diff from having HID's

not many ppl know how to adjust spotlights..to them, the brighter the better. just 2 screws very hard issit?:stupid:

 

[amTonjet]

the light produce from the stock one can penetrate the rain....HIDs cant...it reflect back to our eyes...so if its raining...die la...cannot see anything...so better dont install....just my 2cents

lagi lagi those freaking myvis using HID , mch kns , the car bloody high alrdy , if follow u from the back , sure blind like fu*k , sometimes feel like stopping , get down with a hammer and smashed kau his headlamp , bloody hell , think ppl no need 2 see one aer ?

anyway get a relay kit + Bosch Bulbs , confirmed happy and not illegal

 

[DarkAccoon]

dunno bout u guys, i been using mine for almost 2 years.

rain then just change to yellow lights lor, since my HID does come with hi and low beam
using the 8k HIDs

so far, only one HID bulb busted on the yellow beam.
police roadblock, went past without problem.

kena tahan once cause of the busted yellow beam, then changed back to HID in front of them and told them ada 2 lampu. they let me off as well with a warning to get the yellow light repaired.

friends and family that convoy with me also never complain that my lights are glaring.

And PocRoc is right,

Its merely 2 screws that needs to be adjusted to ensure others are not affected.Dont have screwdriver? come to my house i screwdrive you,oops i mean use my screwdriver do for you.
