I'm thinking about getting the HID headlights, and just wanted to know how you guys felt about them now that you have them installed. Is the install fairly straight forward? How much power do these things suck? I've got the halo led tail lights and it seems that every time I have my headlights on the leds don't have enough juice and blink fast. Any problems with these things that you think of?
Thanks:cheers:
thats not due to the headlights, its due to the LED's not having the same load as conventional lights which means the lights will discharge faster... you need to look into getting some load resistors, this must be done in most cars whenever you change to a turn signal LED instead of a conventional bulb
as far as HID's, you'll get optimum light output around the 4300k-4600k range, anything higher or lower and you'll lose lumens and if your thinking about getting those nice purple lights then you might aswell stick with conventional bulbs
they're really easy to install from what ive seen, just mount the ballasts and its like changing a factory bulb, you just hook in the harnesses
oh and FYI, some japaness made kits, while not inferior, have reversed polarity so if both of your headlights wont work and the ballasts are connected the same way try simply reversing the plug
hope this helps
