For anyone who doesn't know, any aftermarket HID is illegal no matter what
housing accomodates it..regardless, for those of you using your stock
halogens, not only are you wasting the efficiency of the HID bulb but a
great distraction to all drivers..the reflectors that are made for halogen
housings are strictly for halogen bulbs. The reason being, the halogen
reflectors distribute the low light output somewhat efficiently for that
specific bulb. In the case of high intensity discharge bulbs,
@Riley1524 some non hid headlight designs actually work fine with hid. a
perfect match is the one in my car which uses the h7 bulb. the headlight
reflector in my car has a shield to block the bulb itself from shining the
light forward and forces all light to be reflected forward by the actual
reflector in the headlight. this design = almost no glare onto other
drivers. the only reason there is some glare is because my plastic
headlight is faded from 8 years of driving on NJ roads.
I understand that people want HID's to mimic luxury cars, but it look
really bad in housings that are not made for HID's. You need a special
shield inside the housing that distributes the light a certain way. Every
time I pass someone that has fake HID's I turn flash them with my real
HID's in my new 135i. It;s really annoying and I think Law Enforcement
should give out really big fines for the use of these fake HID's that Do
blind you
Me and my friend just ordered this exact same kit, slim ballasts, 35 W
6000K from DDM tuning for his 97 Camaro and my 95 Camaro. We have them
wired in properly, and used a multimeter to check the current but the
lights won't go on... we checked all 4 bulbs with all 4 ballasts separately
and still got no luck. Did you run into any trouble with getting yours to
work at all?
Some cars need an adapter that tells the computer of the car that the
lights are working. Some cars will show that the headlight bulbs are out
and some will not turn of at all if it detects an issue with the
headlights. DDM sells the adapter that fools the computer into thinking
that the OEM bulbs are in so that the HIDS will work.
yo do they look great or what? I know these are really cheap but do you
really get any bang for the buck with these? Thinking about getting them
for my 05 Tundra.... Go to VLEDS.COM for interior led installation. They're
the best and VERY high quality. Thanks...
garbage hids in reflector housings. i love how kids try to put hid's and
when they make a video of it, they just look at the car itself to see how
it's not halogen yellow anymore, but not give a fuck about how the
beam/cutoff/spread is garbage.
The glare is dangerous. Who the fuck cares?! It lasts until they pass you
or you let them around if they are behind you. I watch out for myself, not
you blinded mother fuckers. That's why I spend the $50 in the first place,
dipshits.
@ibrian772 solved the problem, they shipped us 2 bad bulbs. Returned the
old ones and the new ones are en route, shipping another set for free for
the "inconvenience" aha. thanks for the response though!
@bshenangins Do you think we care? Id rather blind other fuckers for 5
seconds than do $2000 of damage from a fucking deer. Though I wouldn't mind
$2000 damage from hitting you.
I saw your activity and see you have a really bad habit of running your
mouth on the internet, and bragging about your moms BMW I would see someone
about that
Fellow E34'er! Got a M30 myself. I want the 6000k kit, but can't decide
between 35 or 55 watt. I don't want to blind people with 55 watt. Is it
worth it to get pay the extra money?
so i have a 35w 6000k setup for my headlights buti just orederd a 55w 8000k
replacement bulb, so do you think the 55w bulb would work with my 35w
ballast?
This is the Apexcone Raptor V2 5000k HID kit. Installed on my 2004 Impala SS with stock headlight housings. Mostly white, with a slight tint of blue. Yes, I know I ...
so you're one of those douchbags that put HIDs into Halogen housings I see.
For fucks sake, quit being a cheap ass and buy some aftermarket projectors
to retrofit at least.
+spfthane Lol. I have never and will never own a honda. I don't want to be put in a group with retards like you. And 12,000K? Do you know how dim those bulbs would be?? You are a joke.
Again, I don't want to hear about your neighbors dad's daughter's son's 2013 ram with a shitty PNP kit in it. I would be more interested in your 92 honda civic with flutted headlight lenses with 12,000K Fake HID halogen bulbs.
Im not making up any numbers. And again, everything I own was paid for by me and me alone. I have a 2013 ram 2500 with a LED array on the roof both forward and rear facing. And trust me, look at them when I turn them on and you will regret installing shitty HIDs off ebay like the ones in this video.
Once again, any thing that is your parents doesn't count. It's nice to see that you can make up numbers, but the fact is you still haven't even figured out what getting hard means. Just for refrence, my unreal HID system came from the factory. Probably much brighter than your 12 lumin flash light on your rc car.
Lol. I have 21000 lumens facing forward and 18500 facing backward. Id love for some poor broke bastard like you to try that shit. I know the last guy that flashed his PnP kit back at me is still seeing dots. You should get a job before you play with your moms car. Then you could buy a real HID kit and do a retrofit. Its sad you cant afford 200 bucks for a real HID system
Lawlz. My HID's become very real...every time I turn them on at night. My very HID's are also much more real than the plastic hotwheels you have, because let's face it, you're 12, still live with mommy and daddy and are just a troll. Now, go back to crying about your dick hurting.
kiv fir- i can't reply to you for some reason, but if you didn't figure it
out yet... you say your headlights are 8k (blue) and fogs are 3k (yellow)..
that's why they are different colors - they are different temperatures lol.
Also, even if they were both 8k then they might be slightly different tints
of blue because that's just how it works
Is both headlight the same color, because mines is not the headlight and
the fog light shows two different colors one is bright than the other. Both
are hid. 8k on top and 3k for fog. And idk what to do. Even with the wiring
harness still no good.
I have mini h3 projectors with 100w regualar bulbs not hid. My headlight
low beams are 4300k on 55w ballast, i installed them with their wiring
harness.. Maybe you recieved a bad set of bulbs
Installation (HID Fog Lamps Focus ST)
This is the installation of a DDM Tuning HID kit. The Fog lights on the Focus ST are an H11 bulb. I use a 3000k 35 watt kit which will provide a yellow hue.
Chris's DDM Tuning 55w HID's
We installed Chris's new 5000k HID's in place of his 8000k's that went out. Much whiter and much brighter.
hey. i got the 35 kit from DDM. i installed only one the the bulb/ballast,
the bulb turn on then it flickered then it turned off. then i switch off my
headlights and turn them back on then my car didnt start :[. i had to jump
start my car. my digital read on my cap read "10 volts" (battery dead).
should i have installed HIDs, start car, then turn on HIDs?
my battery read "10 volts" before i jump started my car i meant.
