July 11th, 2005 07:15 PM #3wow... an eye-opener!!!
in a nutshell:
The only safe and legitimate HID retrofit is one that replaces the entire headlamp—that is lens, reflector, bulb...the WHOLE shemozzle—with optics designed for HID usage.

July 11th, 2005 07:35 PM #4o nga eh, i was wondering about that before, kung baket yung mga oem HID (like kay Henry), di masakit sa mata... and sharp yung ilaw...
Nagtataka din ako dati kung baket mga nagbebenta ng HID upgrade sa mga casa sa ibang countries, buong assembly lagi binebenta... yun pala iba talaga shape ng light pattern.

July 12th, 2005 12:34 AM #7I was wondering before why some HIDs on some oncoming cars have less glare than others. This answers my question.

July 12th, 2005 11:49 AM #12Definitely may glare if you use stock reflector type housing based on the pics. Plus there's greater light throw if you use the proper housing and projector type. But it will cost you.

July 12th, 2005 12:44 PM #13so does this mean if I want to go HID, I will have to buy a whole set and the housing! Yikes! That will cost me a lot.

July 12th, 2005 12:57 PM #14Yup, if you want HID headlights you will also need to replace your stock headlamp housing.

July 12th, 2005 04:15 PM #18It is a long read but very informative.
Question: Does it mean that HID's are really not that bright as compared to Halogen? Kaya lang tayo nasisilaw e dahil sa glare ng stock headlamps with HID installed?
