Suggestions on HID
Hi guys, wondering what brand and type of HIDs everyone has. If you guys could post a link to a website that has a good product. I live out in the middle of deer land and I want to buy some HIDs to be able to actually see the deer haha. Also has anyone seen a actual HID how to guide? Kinda new to this so yeah... thanks
Some preach to get a harness... I don't have one but I do have the Bixenon kit. 35 Watt is plenty. 55W washed out the color temp... i.e. 6000K at 55W may appear as 5000K or 4500K.
You dont need error eliminator or adapter cables... I believe.

How the Bixenon kit works, is simple. The bulbs are mounted to a solenoid that when you pull the HiBeam lever, they move inward... replicating the illumination of the HiBeam filament location. It is not exactly close to where it is on the real bulb when this happens, and it tends to only move the usable beam up slightly.
If you aimed your lights so that the lowbeam is at a good spot, your HiBeam will be ridiculous...
Tough to explain. I have Bixenon, never use Highs.
And you're not being a pain, that's why we're here.

Well I do know the headlight were re aimed after I hit the two deer so we should be good there. Okay so in your opinion do you think I should get the 9007 regular or the 9007 hi/lo? This isn't going to be like an appearance mod at all, its pure for safety.

That's how you should do it for the best results. However, a simple bixenon kit in the stock headlights will do just fine. Our headlights don't glare bad at all for being reflector housings. Buyhids.com or DDMtuning.com. Get a relay harness.

If you aim them fine, you wont blind anyone. You will have the retrofit fanboys preaching day and night. I didn't have 300+ dollars to devote to a retrofit- but I did have enough to get an HID kit. Seeing with the stock bulbs at night was dismal. I drive many MANY country roads to get to various places. All too often a creature was nearly killed because I could barely see it on time.
If you aim them low... and seriously do a lot of testing and adjustments also, adjust for body rocking under acceleration. You will not blind anyone. Mine don't blind anybody. I've asked people, ridden in another car with my cousin driving mine to see for myself. They're fine.
Just be responsible.

Thanks guys. I ended up getting the DDM 9007 hi/lo for $55 and $15 for shipping. Hopefully it will be worth it. Oh well it beats smacking into two deer and having your cobalt in the shop for two weeks haha been there done that
Maybe you should invest in those little deer whistles lol.
