Anyone else install an HID kit?

[Beastlick]

This whole thread has had me worried. But im happily confused. I plugged my HIDs directly into my car with no side effects. work perfect for daytime and head lights. NO flickering, no added relays or harrnesses..... just properly working lights

Wanna compare beams and tell me there's no side effects?

I put HIDs in my wrangler with no projector modification and they work amazing and no one high beams me. I had someone else drive my jeep and I drove the sonic towards them and yea there bright but not beaming me in the face and it sits on 35" tires so it's up higher.

I will not modify my 2013 with 240 miles on it to that extent yet. Bulbs. Ballast sure. But not modify DOT headlights, you rear end someone in evening or at night if insurance company really wanted to they can deny your claim due to non DOT legal headlights. "We feel you as the customer may have been better able to see the stopped vehicle had you not modified your lights" before I did sales and still currently am a licensed damage appraiser for PA. Not saying it will happen but I'm not risking it so I can have a cut off line

I was a little worried about modifying mine too.(3900mi) After the first cut, breathing becomes easier. Your non-modified headlights w/HID bulbs and ballasts installed are actually less safe on the road than my modded projector headlights.

Driver projector needs a little tweaking, but has amazing controlled output!

So what kit did you use?


I really don't want to add a relay

 

[Bogus]

I still want to see the beam spread of a Sonic with HID bulbs without projectors...

 

[sonic hotness]

Might bite the bullet and just buy a pair of hid

 

[Bogus]

I'm pretty satisfied with the new bulbs. I believe I can tell the difference. The light is more "white" also. An easy upgrade if you don't want to do HIDs (which putting HIDs in a reflector housing=not good).

What tool should I use to make these fit?

lol I filed down the plastic tab inside the connector. now I need to cut that metal peice off so it fits in the housing.

ok so i know you all were looking for the light spread with HIDs in the stock housing. Well a good friends of mine got me a good HID kit for free. If you all want ill hook it all up and find a level area where i can point the nose at a wall and get a pic or two of it.

 

[Beastlick]

Please do so we can compare them to my projector HID set up.

 

[Bogus]

Yes against a wall and also find an open parking lot so we can see the spread on the ground please.

 

[Spartan_chaz]

ok i will have to do some searching for a parking lot without any (or very little) lights and i know the perfect place i can take a shot of it pointing directly at a wall ill keep yall updated.
