update: the lack of light was due to a very slight "dark spot" in my beam pattern.

I diagnosed the problem finally when i gave my bulbs a tiny wiggle, and it went away.

While the visionbulbs kit is extremely projector friendly, and they do fit in there without modification, when the bulbs seat into their final spot the return lead tilts the bulb just slightly.

So after pulling them out and making a small channel in my projector housing for the return lead, the dark spot is gone, and the lighting is great

 

everything that I read says that it isnt healthy for the HID's to be turned on and off....as in when you unlock the car the lights come on.....is that a total crock seein how one finds themselves turning the low beams on and off when switching to high beams or do you have them wired so the lows are on constantly.....p.s. looks totally sick

 

exactly how hard was it to aim them correctly? was it actually difficult or was it just a pain in the ass haha? looks amazing by the way

 

What are they suppose to be brighter or something?




lol... j/k.. Looks good man, Ill trade u my stock headlights for yours... straight up. I think its a great deal.... for me...

later

 

I dont know if youve noticed...but your HIGH beams come on when you unlock the car....

The HID's are not wired permanantly on,

to be honest im not worried about the off/on thing very much.
HID bulbs outlast halogens by quite a margin....so if i wear them out slightly quicker due to switching to high beams....thats fine with me they will likely still outlast a pair of Silverstars anyway.

and yes. projectors, regardless of what bulbs you are using, are not an easy thing to aim.

well...that is, if you care about having a clean even beam pattern, and not blinding your fellow drivers.

 

no to tell you the god honest truth I never did notice that the high beams came on when you unlocked it.....ive had my car for a grand total of 9 days now...I never really thought it was a huge deal either....read that in another post.....but anyhou....thanks for the insight

 

hehe sry i didnt mean to sound snappy.

but yeah its very noticable with projectors since the highbeam and lowbeam are different bulbs altogether.

 

nice vid. Can't wait to install my 4300k HIDs with the new projectors.

 

Very nice vid/pics, I still gotta get my visionbulbs kit into my projectors...I got the 8000k kit, but haven't had a chance to mess around with the balt!

 

Congrats. Welcome to the club.

 

Wow, HIDs look really good, man.

Did everything come with the kit, like fuses, relays, wires, etc?

 

hey thanks for being a sounding board for me ppazz.

and yes. the visionbulbs kit was extremely good quality stuff.
everything was there, Including a few things that I DIDNT need, if i decided to wire my setup slightly different.

 

Got any photos without the dark spot, perhaps a before and after?

 

yeah im waiting for my projectors and HID's im pretty excited to get em.. i was just wondering how you wired them up.. right now i have projectors but i got em for free cause ones pretty badly damaged(water damage) .. right now i have them wired up so when u turn off the car the high beams dont turn on but the regulars do!.. iono maybe i got lucky :P
