bro i have questions as well about the HID,

and i m also thinking want to install anot becos my stock lamp is not enough bright for me as i got very low vision during night.

I got adviced to use 4.3k HID. the workshop people told me that 4.3k wont kacau people's eye, and also the colour will pass police because it is YELLOWISH.

is this truth? whats the real colour of 4.3k HID ?

Yellowish also won't pass, fren installed HID 3.8k, also kena block... My HID is 8k, love the colour that make the ride looked extremely energetic : ) The kit came with low beam yellow light so i always enjoy 8k brightness during odd timing and place that i familiar with..:proud:

Those higher profile car equipped with projector head light which able to control the glare thats why it's legal, old style headlight equipped with hid is definitely no-go...

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!

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:biggrin:

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
