I wont have to buy a hole new kit if i get projectors.

 

not the whole kit. but you will need new bulbs.

stock headlight isnt the same bulb. Projectors use H1 bulbs

 

The hids will fit in projectors. A guy at my work has his stock headlights in his gto and he has projectors with hids.

 

Hids fit in projectors yes.
but you have 9007 HID bulbs right now.
those bulbs dont fit in projectors.

you need H1 bulbs.

 

stock bulbs=9007
projector bulbs=H1

you can get replacement bulbs for ~$45

stock housing+HIDs=FTL, even with aiming you are still going to blind ppl
Projectors+HIDs=FTW, only way to do it!!

 

dumb, i had 8000k on my old car and i couldn't see ****. 10000k is just asking to get pulled over/hitting something.

 

you will never have problems seeing again...

 

No, but on coming traffic might!!

 

who cares about them lol jk

 

I'm not the only one around plano that has hids. There is like 6 people at my work that have them.

 

I've seen one guy in SA with the 10k and they look really nice.

 

and that makes it ok to blind oncoming traffic?

do these other people have HID's because their housings are designed for them or did they do the same thing you did?

 

Same thing I do. THEre is a guy at my work that has a 450 hp civic si with 12000k hids.

 

i feel sorry for his mother.

 

...hahaha

 

Damn does everybody here work for the Po Po or something damn, just leave him alone, I have HID's in my stock housings and alot of cars come w/ HID's in stock housings(not projectors) so there is nothing you can do about it, just get off his back for doing something that doesnt hurt anybody else unless you stare at his ******* lights

 

It's called having concern for the well-being of others, bro. Cars that have HIDs in non-projector housings from the factory have been designed/engineered to not throw off the same glare that HIDs in standard halogen housings do.

So because you have HIDs in stock housings, that makes it okay? Just a thought, but maybe you should have someone else drive your car on a dark road at night, with you driving the opposite direction, and see how it really feels on the other end. It doesn't matter if you stare into 'em or not. It's just plain dangerous... especially for elderly people and new drivers.

At least you can see ultra-well, though, right? That's all that really matters, I guess.

 

It doesnt bother me when I see civics with them, but hey some people just like to bitch about stupid **** and im not one of them, and I used to have HID's in stock housings but now I have them in projectors so im all good

 

no, they dont.

there are only a very small handful of cars that do, thats not "alot" and they also have HIGHLY ENGINEERED reflective systems, specifically built for HID lighting, to cope with the insane shotgun blast of light that HIDs gives.
Halogen reflectors, which is what MOST cars come with today are NOT built to handle HID lighting.

I dont know how you can look at the countless pictures around of HID lights in halogen reflectors, and try and expect people to believe that they arent dangerous unless you "stare at his ******* lights"
you can see a car with them coming from 2 miles away in the ******* daylight, and unless you purposely stare away, to the point where you can barely even watch your own lane, they cause pain in the back of the damn retina. yeah, nothin unsafe about that.


I appreciate you are entitled to your opinion on whether its safe or not.
but please avoid fabricating facts to try and support the argument.

 

I agree with an0malous, you should have bought projectors, or made retrofits first.

 

i don't know anyone that works for the "Po Po". they have dispatchers but they don't work for them but with them. glare hits you w/out having to stare at his lights. i'm positive that if i hit you w/ my bi-xenon HID lights on high beam that you'd swerve the hell off the road w/out you looking directly into them. and mine are projectors. god forbid i had non-hid housing.

 

Had a dumb ass in an integra with hids behind me on the way home yesterday, Freakin insane! I couldn't see ****! I agree its a stupid thing to do to a car head light housing thats not designed for it. Though people are going to do what they want. Bashing a guy isn't going to change anything, even reasoning with him most likely won't either.

No one is in the wrong here. It's a message board, chime in your opinion and move on.

 

^^ how much you want for the cavy?

 

And you can't hear people cussing you out? F*ckin suvs get on my ass with HIDS all the time.... **** pisses me off cause you really CAN'T see.

 

i think HID's are blinding no matter how their outputed, a projector in the eye hurts just as bad as reflective housing hid's, but i still like HID's
