Light output has greatly improved that during nighttime I usually drive with just my fogs on now. I didn't wire the hibeam (the projectors are bixenons) cuz I got lazy :D |
I didn't wire the hibeam (the projectors are bixenons) cuz I got lazy :D True projection HID's are the way to go. If your projection HID's are bi-xenon, they have the high beam feature. You indicated you didn't wire the high beam, because you were lazy ? Can you explain ? |
It has two two wires coming out which flips the cutoff plate to switch from hi to lo. Yes I got lazy to wire them up and second I dont like bixenons.
The HIDs are more than antiquitie and won't be needing hi beams. I've owned and still own cars with bixenons from factory for several years and never have used hi beams. Another reason is I prefer to flash the lights to people as I find it to be more polite than honking in some situations. With bixenons others can't tell I'm flashing them. |

I have the STARR system and I almost never use the high beam. The lows do their job very well. Again, good job |
That looks really good! I would love to do that on my wifes H3
|
I've opened up headlight to paint and what not on different cars but to date the Hummer lights were the hardest to open!! You basically have the break them apart. That's the hardest part.

doesn't on coming traffic flash you constantly if you drive with your fogs with hid bulbs? I've got them in mine and the only time I can use mine is on back roads because they blind on comming traffic since they're not a focused beam
|
It hasn't happened. The projectors are LHD so the light cut off does not blind on coming traffic

The picture shows they are not projectors in the fog lights, but are the stock refractors with an HID "kit" |
Oh, they are pointed a bit down and no one has flashed me for having them. Lot of people in NY have after HIDs on their cars and trust me I'm not the worst offender.
