Legal white blueish headlights Options

[Marksmbln]

Bought 35watt 5000k hids from ddm tuning to put in my 94 celica gt but had to take them out after 2 days because all the flashers. Anyone know some headlights lights that look like 6000k that arent too bright. and are silverstar ultras really a blueish white color. thanks

Did you have your headlights properly alligned? Pointing more towards the ground? If the HID's are seen below the cutoff line it will blind you like hell.

Edit: Also, having them in your stock houseings will spread the light out Alot, compared to inside projectors

HID's are illegal here unless they are in projectors.

If headlight testing is part of your half monthly or yearly scrutiny check (we call it WOF, UK calls it MOT, AUS calls it Roadworthy Test, etc) then it will be illegal in your country too.

The best you can do for those 1994-spec headlamps is a 4000K blue hallogen bulb, I haven't come across one which is white enough for my liking, But the Philips brand atleast doesn't blow out, and its got hardly any yellow, it's just not white to me.

This is 4000K in the foglights of my old FWD NA Celly

I've had my 8000K HIDs in for over a year and a half and no one has ever flashed me.

Lol that makes two of us.

It makes me so mad when a truck with bright ass lights flashes me when just the level of his truck in general causes his lights to blind me...

HID lights are not meant for halogen housings. Everyone has the right to flash their high beams at you. You're making it unsafe for everyone else on the road by blinding those driving towards you.


Do it the right way or take that sh*t out.

Exact same thing I do.

Look away from the lights. Simple.
How many people in your city have HID's in stock housings? I'm sure more than one.
Get over it.

I have a 6k hids from ddm tuning also! and i have had no flashers whatsoever.; i think you should point them down or just get projectors. maybe they are not aligned as the person above said.

but i just installed some silverstar ultras and they are pretty bright too;

Sure. I'll look away. Where would you like for me to look? At the passenger? At the floorboard? at the ceiling? Anywhere other than where I am supposed to be looking?

If I can't look at the road in front of me because some douchebag wants his car to look mad tyte then what should I do? How about we all just close our eyes and keep driving? God damn you're smart! I bet your parents are so damned proud.

[jordisonjr]

They sure are.

lol they get the finger and an even longer drive behind them

[delusionz]

Yeah the light seriously goes everywhere, no1 can see squat when you use HIDs in a Halogen housing, It's almost like looking directly into the sun.

It doesn't even focus the beam for the driver either it just dispurses in every direction except straight ahead.

Get projectors, They look better, function better, and don't blind oncoming traffic and people infront of you looking in their rear view mirrors.



It's also not safe for you either if you blind someone coming around the corner they can't see the center line and end up crossing over your lane.

even with this thread only on the first page its making me want the hids less and less...i mean i sorta do want them only to see better due to alot of deer around here and very little roads are lit.....but then again i dont want to blind others because i know how much i HATE IT! hell i just installed some 5000k 55w ebay headlight bulbs and i had a couple people flash me....but then i adjusted my headlights due to one pointing up into the street signs lol...now i can see better and was wondering why i couldnt see jack once i got this celli...i hate not having headlight tabs.......

[95CelicaST]

Yeah. Don't listen to jordisonjr about this. In order to not blind people with HID lights in halogen housing you basically need to point them at the ground and use the scattered light to light the road, which isn't going to help visibility at all. It'll actually probably make it worse.


Buy some Phillips X-Treme Power bulbs and call it good.

[delusionz]

on another note, is it fine to have HID's in the high beams? The inner head lights don't have projectors in either sets.

[95CelicaST]

No. They are frosted lenses which scatters the light.
