I concur with grannyshifter. Get the yellow HIDs which are the most effective for cutting through fog. Color temperature rating of the bulb you need to get is 3000K. Mike of Autokozmetix has the HID conversion kit. Just tell him that the rating of the bulb you need is 3000 kelvin (yellow). Cost of HID Kit + bulb is less than 9K.

that is good to hear. Sana the IDLE problem will not be an issue for all the 86s sold in the Philippines.

the yellow HIDs does a better job in the foggy weather? kasi from experience i've tried driving my friend's bmw e36 na naka yellow HID fogs, and damn i couldn't see anything. but when i used my previous car which had super yellow halogen bulbs, it cut through the fog. well it was raining din at that time, so baka kinain ng rain yung HID?


btw, NIKDENG i saw your BRZ earlier at autokozmetix. you were getting your muffler changed to the STI BRZ one daw ah. ganda na ng BRZ mo haha dami nang mods.

Game,

Make sure you get the high quality ballast, bulbs and the housing should be specific for HID and not retrofitted. Most likely, your friend's E36 had yellow HIDs for his fog lights retrofitted to the original housing which is not designed to house HID bulbs thus the light dispersal is not concentrated negating the advantage of HIDs. The 3000k bulb is more than enough to cut through the fog. Make sure the light beam is pointed low to the ground to help even further. The HID fog light assemblies I installed on my E46 M3 and BRZ are even stronger the headlights and easily cuts through rain and fog.

Yup, I had my car fitted with the BRZ STi exhaust. Sounds really good and helped release some low end power. Dami nang mods pero dami na ring gastos.

with regard to the rain, will my visibility be affected when i'm using HIDs?

if ever i go the HID route, what brand can you suggest to me? sa ballast, aside from philips, what else is good? basta personally i don't like to try on the ac tech ones na kaya i didn't get them agad when mike offered it to me for the fogs. i placed them on my c30 before and palagi siya nagloloko and we didn't have a solution to it until i sold it nadin that way. nagpalit na ako ng ballast and tighten connection and change bulbs, and same padin. i have nothing against the brand, i believe its a good one, but i'd rather not try it again haha nadala na ako last time sumakit sobra ulo ko doon :|

if ever i go the halogen route, i'm thinking of getting PIAA super yellows or solarzen (some cheap ass bulbs, but they lasted 3 years on my c30! ) super yellows too.

btw, anyone here knows where i can get the five axis spoiler locally? kahit replica lang will do. i'm digging this one more as compared to the trd ducktail.

I use OEM Denso and Matsushita for my ballasts. Philips and AC Tech are also OK. Did you just retrofit your c30 or did you replace the whole housing? I also had the same problem when I retrofitted my CRV lights with Philips HID. Kept changing ballast and bulbs but they would always conk out. Got the JDM HID headlight assembly and problem solved.

i used it for my headlights on my c30. i didn't do any retrofitting on it, but the problem would always come back after just a few days. it reached a point that i had already brought it to about 5 different people/shops to have them check it out and try to fix it but to no avail. that was such a hassle. good thing though that my old HIDs only gave out about 2months before i sold the car, thus making me switch to ac techs.

exactly what I'm looking and waiting for too.

ton of atoy quoted me 13k for them to make one fr scratch. but they need the car left with them for around 5 days daw. tagal!

if you're ok with leaving your car with them that long, count me and 1 friend in for a group buy to split the cost of the mold and lower our cost per piece.

Those with headlight visibility issues, look into replacing the projectors instead of just plugging in HID bulbs.

We are lucky enough that all 86's and BRZ's released in the Philippines have HID headlights as standard equipment. Only the fog lights are not HID.
