HID lights

HID housings have a deflector over the bulb. halogens do not. there is excessive glare when using HID's in halogen housings. this is not DOT approved and any state trooper could cite you for it.

Yea I am going to trouble shoot the ring that is giving me issues tomorrow, hopefully finding out it is the ballast and not the ring, but I am almost certain it IS the ring.

The LED bulbs were great to me for a while. Then all of the sudden they started dying out, some of the rows of LEDs flicker while on, and it looks terrible. So I am not even using them as fogs right now, thinking of putting my HID kit back in and getting 6kK bulbs for them.

The reason I went with LED is to avoid as much heat as possible. Because as you know (being in DAL) It has been 100+ here for over a month now.

That is not what I wanted to just read. My one ring is on the fritz as well. It has only been lighting up halfway and flickers on that half. I know Alax and LeaSr77 are having the same issue. I haven't had a chance to check the ballast yet and Lightwurks wants $20 for a new ring. No issues with my LED fogs so far *crosses fingers*

What is yours doing?
 
For those of you who have the HID conversion kit in your gen2 halogen housing, what HID kit are you using?

I'm kind of disappointed right now after reading about all your angel eyes, I was planning on ordering my set this week but now it's up in the air.. If it is from the heat, I might be safe, the heat doesn't stay around too long here in WI.

My angel eyes are fine. Hell, they were first installed in the middle of a brutal Texas summer. I don't think heat kills them.
 
It is not my intention to jack this thread, but it may be easier than starting a new one,, I am seeing a few of you that are having an issue with your Angel eye's from Lightwurks,, How long have they been trouble free? I am currious if you guys all did the group purchase together and they are all failing at roughly the same time? I am serious about gettting a set and would like to feel comfortable before pulling the trigger for $400 (installed) just to have rings fail in a year...


Sorry again, 2002_LincolnLS for getting off base,,,
 
No compalints on my rings at all, sorry to hear the problem with the rings, My set came installed already with the new set of headlights off of ebay, I wonder what brand rings they are....?

THANK YOU so much you should get new guy of the freakin year award for not starting a new thread this is what i hoped and dreamed for with my sticky YEESSSSSS......That will be all.




on another positive note My girlfriend just ordered my HID's for my birthday.
 
I just got an HID kit and I was wondering if it'd be better with or without the reflector cup?

Haha there's not much else fckin with it you could do besides removing it. But ok that answers my question. I was just curious because someone said with the hid kits compared to the stocks is that the whole housing is lit rather than just a beam of light and I thought the reflection cup couldve been causing that.
 
I'm glad to hear that quite a few of you with halogen housings have been successful in running aftermarket HID's in them. I ended up holding out for a set of OEM HID housings. I had to do a lot of work to get them (installed a set of angel eyes in the seller's brand-new housings) but it was worth it.

It sounds like it someone is careful in doing accurate before/after aiming that it is a very low-cost alternative.
 
yeah its okay until the government siezes your bulbs before they ever make it to your house...

:q:q:q:q THE GOVERNMENT...
