Kensun HID Xenon Conversion Kit "All Bulb Sizes and Colors" with "Slim" Digital Ballasts - H1 - 6000k - 2 Year Warranty : Amazon.com : Automotive
leaning towards the first one due to lifetime warranty option for $100.
Opinions?

I'd run these.. Their customer service is awesome and they stand behind their products.. Also don't buy the whole lifetime warranty on hid kits, if ordered in enough bulk, you can buy them for dollars, and they just send a new crappy kit or part because it would take many many returns before the would even break even..

IF YOU CAN GET AHOLD OF THEM

Which would you run?

Lol, I post that up and my PM blows up with people wanting cheap ass kits.. I guess I should've put on their THEY ARE GARBAGE lol..

[DC2R]

lol yeah I by no means was saying "give me link to $15 kit so i can buy now!!!!!!!!!". thanks for all the info. The link to the "lifetime warranty" at xenonlightshid.com says they use Phillips bulbs but beyond that who knows. Kensun Amazon kits seem good to me as customer support is great but no mention of their ballast brand.

I can't find the link to a article, but it's been put out there over 80% of Phillips bulbs are fake..

Hid in high beam housings are not really recommended, as they take time to warm up, so your flash to pass or just flashing in general is useless, and some aftermarket kits can take 10 secs or more to warm up..


The diode dynamics are great also, I'm a supplier of both and you can't go wrong with either.. For the best light output a retrofit of a bi-xenon projector will give you the best results..


Something like this

It will turn your regular projector in to one that had both high and low function.. Also remember running a hid bulb in a regular reflector housing like the high beam in our cars throws so much glare on the road in front of you that our eyes do not dialate enough to have proper night vision to see far away, so while it may have more light and everything is brighter, it doesn't mean you'll be able to see as good at far distances

Hi thanks so much for your complete response.I think you're right. HIgh and low beams run on a different housing. I think the little projector has the low beam that you can regulate the height with the knob on the inside.
So the High Beams are like you said on the said of it.. and do not have any projector, What's the disadvantage of not placing the bulbs inside a projector ?. So going back to what you've said if I replace the High beam hids with a normal xenon bulb not bixenon. This would cause trouble?
Like when i'm in the road.. light won't be sent properly directed in angle and distance?. when you gave me that link with a projector for a bixenon with the projector that would mean the low beam projector would be canceled? not used at all. ? Was thinking in going with the morimoto first link. Then going to installation I've never installed HIDS on any car, but I've installed audio amp on my previous car and I do have some technical background on electronics. Is that difficult ? What's that canbus thing.. on the morimoto
So from all the links I have from

- Diode Dynamics
http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/l...rsion-kit.html

- Morimoto This one its high beam without projector right? Is it convenient to buy additional spare bulbs? What about the installation relay going to positive from battery needed? Is there a version of this one with a projector?

- Kensun (what about these ones are they a generic brand, only high beam? ) AC ballast? do humm ?

Finally yep I do want pure white light. That would be 5300k ?

Tnx


Forgot: Regarding LED I think I will place leds for the DRL lights only. They're only useful there. What led bulbs do you recommend for DRL CREE ones? any links. I also wanted to add that square led thing like subaru has , is that possible to do with our stock optics?. Awp also do you know any palce to buy the side view mirrors with lightning like the ones offered from diode dynamics but way more cheaper.. cause those ones are expensive .

if you're looking to get more out of the high beam, i would recommend looking into HIR bulbs for that instead of using hid bulbs because of the warmup time. and because i use flash-to-pass a lot, and flashing hid's is detrimental to their lifespan.

hmm again I'm lost here. what do you mean by HIR bulbs instead of HID. ?

[soundman98]

here's some info on them. basically it's still a halogen bulb, but it's brighter.

That sounds cool, but do they illuminate more than xenon hids on the road in distance and angle or it's the same as a normal halogen bulb? Got any vids to see any comparison from a xenon with this HIR ?

[dssence]

Finally someone came up with something It was going round in my mind. That was what I was looking for some Halogen bulb without the xenon bling bling thing being better. I've seen a couple videos of HIR vs xenon and they cover same distance and angle quite impressed.
now comes the question where to buy off these HIR Halogen infrared bulbs for SCION ? which brand quality ? watts.. without causing any damage with the actual wiring.

[soundman98]

no, they are more of a middle ground. they will have the same output pattern as the standard halogen bulbs, but will output more light. but less light then a hid kit.

but the bonus is that there is zero warmup time like there is with hid's, and they are legal to install because they are still halogen bulbs.

here's a thread with some output shot comparisons of a vw with stock halogen's and hir bulbs.

as far as where to buy, i'm not really sure..

this thread might have some information:

but i've never really needed hir bulbs, so my knowledge of them only extends to knowing of their benefits and their existence..
