Pics of HIDs

[B72.0T]

Someone requested pics of HIDs I recently installed. Sorry for the unprofessional pics [:|] 10000k here they are. Just taken 15 minutes ago.

my fogs are actually an aftermarket set of bulbs, stock ones are way more yellow. supposed to be white/blue but look at that difference between the two.

[Azeroth]

the lamin-x yellow tint will make them look more yellow when they're on right? i don't have to get new hid fogs?

[B72.0T]

Personally I dont like the yellow/blue mix but yeah i think it would make it more yellow. I like mine the way it is right now :D

[audifirst]

are these on projector housings or non-projector ?
They look too bright

[B72.0T]

that explains why it looks like a honda

was that supposed to hurt? LOL

[bblume]

^^no I just speak the truth.

[B72.0T]

To each his own I guess. As long as I like it :)

[nycion]

non [:(]

Were these stock halogen headlights? What do I need to get this setup? Where can I get this stuff and how much is it? It looks amazing! Thanks.

[TFSI]

just buy regular H7 hid kit. ebay~~~~ or ddmtuning

[greensto]

I have the DDM HID kit on my halogens and think they look GREAT! They are white and match my LED's superbly. 6000k 35w low beams. They don't blind people at all like some cars I see on the roads here that's for sure! Pics of lights never do justice because of the glare.

[MCT9891]

well thats........

unnecessary.

haha damn, bright as hell. I'd never go past 6000k, but thats just me.

Where you been on aim buddy?

[audifirst]

don't get offended but I wouldn't want to be in front of you and be blinded by these lights, they are too bright

they are nice if you can control the beam height.. which is why I like HID in projector housing, save up and get those housings, it will be worth while..

^^^Exactly!! Add that to the fact that they are illegal b/c they aren't in the correct housing. You and your ricer brethren are making a mockery of the technology and of the audi name. There are a lot of choices when it comes to moddin' a vehicle and plug-n-play HID kits that get stuffed into Halogen housings are not good ones... FAIL

truth hurts...

It's cool that you like it, but honestly.. A friend of mine has 8000k with reflector housings, and I can't stand driving in front of him, idk what I'd do without my Auto dimming mirrors.
It's crazy blinding, I can only imagine what 10000k looks like[o_o][o_o]

[B72.0T]

Lol my safety first. As long as I can see idgaf, and they dont blind anyone I drove behind my friends they didnt say it blinds them... They are 35watts output but about 2 or 3 x brighter than stock bulbs. 55w vs 35w. Its not that bad like people say it is. And its really not scattered everywhere.

[B72.0T]

well thats........



Where you been on aim buddy?
Dont wanna annoy.

anytime there's a thread about hids in halogen housing this guy comes out to competely put it down. Sorry that we all don't have the grand to upgrade to Projectors and we want hids.

[MCT9891]

not true, I did my whole bi-xenon conversion for under $500. and while you can sell your reflector housings for $100-200 in the classifieds, you're looking at $300-400.
Just gotta look and be patient.

[maidest]

^Wow didn't know that I apologize. I always thought it would be more expensive.

[MCT9891]

I checked ebay and classifieds like a hawk lol.
I did get lucky though.

500 eh? where did u source your ballasts/bulbs/kufatec harnesses?

[Azeroth]

wait are those four rings on the front? oh ok it is an audi not a honda, thought so [>_<] you guys might not like it, but i love the look [up]

[MCT9891]

The guy that had it before me bought it from someone here on AZ, can't remember the username.
He ended up not using it, and sold it to me for a great price.

MCT already has explained how they're not that much more expensive so I won't go into that. I will however give you a few ideas and resources to save you from making the OP's mistake if you haven't already. Search for username lowesta4. Idk if he's still around but he used to source housings and kufatec conversion kits for 8bills. Hidplanet.com is another good place to start reading if you'd like to more about how stupid these eBay kits are. The botto
line is our cars are not hondas and shouldn't be treated as such. If one can't afford to upgrade tastefully then upgrading shouldn't be rushed. MCT proved that good things come to those who wait. I picked up my bixenons on ebayuk and had the
shipped here. It's frustrating not having your car where u want it to be. But believe me it's more frustrating having to redo and undo past mods when you realize u didn't do it right the first time. There's good reason I comment on these threads. Now you know. To save people the trouble caused by their own stupidity

Haha okay first of all relax and leave this thread if you're gonna make your own opinion get in the way and criticize what I did/do with my own car. How is it a mistake? How it is stupidity? Maybe in your eyes it is but in mine it isnt obviously. Like I said before I'll say it again. As long as I like it I dont give a fuck what you or anyone else on here has to say negative about it. Are we understood?

It sure as hell isnt frustrating to me, and it is where I want it to be .

if you really didn't 'give a fuck' as you say, you wouldn't be posting in this thread acting all butthurt. I already explained to you why it's stupid and a mistake as did other users. Your the one that needs to relax and do some reading. Imagine that someone posted an opinion on an Internet forum. What a big surprise.

You sound so content. If anyone needs to relax it's you. If you can't take the criticism without getting all butt hurt when someone calls out your choice on an intrnet forum then maybe you should leave the thread

Acting butthurt? How do you act butthurt on a forum? I dont want to e-fight you so lets just leave it at that, you win. But once again if you dont have anything positive to say dont say it AT ALL because its people like you that ruin forums and make it a bad community because of something so small like LIGHTS. Yes, lights. Now look at yourself and how dumb you just came out to be. If its my car, Ill put 4894894840 lights on it if I want with no projector housing and it can be HIDs with 30000K if I please. Hope you get my point because I dont care about your opinion since it's not going to change whats already been done.

[bblume]

At this point I'm only posting for those that haven't made this horrible choice. The reason why it's important to express my opinion ( besides the fact that it's my right and I'll continue to do so even after you keep telling me I shouldn't ) is because what you've done to your car is illegal, dangerous ( hence the reason it's illegal) and it's annoying as hell. You can pretend all you want that it looks good and act like your not blinding other drivers because your cannot friends told you so but the fact remains that your spilling light all over the road. Your lights at 10k are actually putting out less light then your halogens and you've made a great sports sedan look like shit because you've tried to cut corners. Now I understand you may be incorrigible, but the people who are making there (oh so insignificant LIGHTING) decision as you say still have a chance to make an informed choice. Goood luck though!

[B72.0T]

Even if I am blinding others which Im not, Im pretty sure they would've high beamed me by now [;)]. What you're saying doesnt matter, there is other people on here that have HIDs without projector housing and you havent made any impact. So Ill keep blinding people and enjoy my lights like Ive been doing. Hopefully one day I pass by you and blind you too [:D]. And I've made a great sports sedan look like shit? You are just too funny maybe you should try being a comedian instead on being on AZ at 4AM and get payed for it? Just because of lights you say all that? Hahaha, GOOOD night man Ill reply to whatever you have to say next later on today because Im sure you will, there has been plenty of people like you on the internet [:)] nothing new.

[up][up]

Everything you've said is completely one point, with the amount of cheap HID kits out there this occurrence is likely just going to become more common. Not much you can do with people who refuse to accept any criticism after failing to correctly research these lighting mods. [:|]

Here is a good picture to illustrate the previously stated points: (Interesting how this thread and those similar to it usually contain no pictures of the actual beam pattern though)

He seems very considerate. Thinking that it's 4am everywhere in the country showcases his self-awareness
I concur....hidplanet is great. I'd like to see what would happen to b72.0 on those forums. He thinks I'm being critical ???!!??

[B72.0T]

Just go to sleep and get off my penis sir. I dont need your advice or opinion or your smartass comments. Thank you and have a nice day.

[bblume]

If you can't handle criticism "SIR" then don't use the forums, just become a lurker where you and your fanboy friends can self-congratulate yourselves on how sweet and hard you are when you roll 6 deep in cars with ebay HID kits sloshing light around like the vagina juice from 60 yr old strippers

[B72.0T]

Is it just me or are you trying to get your post count up? Just give up SIR, your opinion doesnt matter stop trying so hard, let it go. What are you, 10?

[brownishwater]

Too bright.

I would throw rocks at you if I saw that shit coming head-on or in my rearview mirror.

[elwigglero]

Keep your eye out for projector housings...You'll be a happy guy once you've completed the upgrade.

[greensto]

Xenons may be a great upgrade, but 6000k 35W really does work beautifully, doesn't blind, and the quality is very good. $85 with code cancellors shipped with a very easy install :)

500 eh? where did u source your ballasts/bulbs/kufatec harnesses?

LowestA4, that was his name. He sold it to another AZ'er and that guy sold it to me for a great price.

Thanks bblume for reminding me of his name.

Anyway back on topic,
Here's my thoughts...
1) they're blinding. OP, theres no denying that... come on. Don't you think you're being a little bit childish
saying your safety is first priority when it comes to the people driving on the road?
2) bblume is giving his criticism for the best, under all the flame, he's trying to help.
3) hope you don't get any tickets, because yes, they are illegal.
4) I believe they say you ruined your sports sedan look because unlike civics, we have the inexpensive option
of great projector housings, that look better and point all the light in one specific area of the road.

just my $0.02

[CystmX]

Your safety isn't going to be so hot when the guy in front of you crashes because you blinded the crap out of him.

[toaster]

i don't care about this thread...

1) 10k xenons...

2) in halogen housings no less.

but, "acting butthurt," is just hilarious.

I applaud you MCT...[up] Maybe if B72.0T won't listen to me, he'll listen to the number of other people that have backed me up on this. I'm done trying to tell him, maybe down the road he'll realize how bad/cheap/ricer his car looks and he'll do it right. Maybe not...So it goes.

Oh and B72.0T please don't PM me. I'm done with you and yours. If all you really care about is yourself then there's really no helping you.

[Zebman]

I don't understand the obsession with blue. I think it's ugly in, out or around projectors. So I went the opposite route. I can be an attention whore AND see better than everybody else.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g177/zebman/Audi/SANY0584.jpg

Notice in picture one that I took the picture at a similar height/angle between the camera and the headlight that you did in your last picture, and my headlights do not have the stars around mine like yours do. Congratulations, you blinded your camera. I wonder what it's doing to other people? I'm not going to grill you, it's just food for thought.

[B72.0T]

^ Cool story. Looks good [:)]

[eMacPaul]

Yeah, I gotta say... when it's dark out side and I see blue HIDs in halogen reflectors, I assume it's a Honda. Or around my parts, some jackass with a lifted truck, so his headlights shine right at your rearview mirror. 10K can look cool, but I think it needs to be in a projector housing, so you get the cutoff.

[pw211]

That and this and that

what does that even mean [confused]

[Quattro]

any other shots, like full road?

[JMG]

Worthwhile mods are worth doing the right way. These belong in HID housings, besides the fact that you could be blinding drivers in front of you, it looks like you went the cheap route because you, in fact, did.

I'll take some pics of my 6000k's with Fly's LED's. Hopefully they come out ok. Gotta finish midterm week first though!

[jlaudio]

Lol my safety first. As long as I can see idgaf, and they dont blind anyone I drove behind my friends they didnt say it blinds them... They are 35watts output but about 2 or 3 x brighter than stock bulbs. 55w vs 35w. Its not that bad like people say it is. And its really not scattered everywhere.

10k hid systems is like a downgrade from halogen bulbs, its such a severe light decrease after 5k i don't know why people buy 6k+... not sure about you but i like to be able to see at nighttime

[kenaiinaugust]

I think 6000k is the last acceptable temperature, i have 6000's on my bike and i love um. anything past 6000K is way too blue with too much loss of lumen..

[Weem]

My friend has Phil V3 LEDs, stock halogen and halogen housing, but he clear cornered them and put in H7 50W 6000k in the same housing.

I think it looks awesome and not ricer at all. matches the LEDs perfectly.

I'm kinda confused bout the posts above...are youll saying this type of set up looks "ricer"? i think it looks awesome. he also has 6000k H11 35W HIDs for his fogs

[Koby]

I love how these guys always defend their lights like theirs are the good example of purple HIDs in halogen lamps. Buddy, we all drive around a night and we see cars with headlights like yours. Trust me- you stand out like a sore thumb.

I didnt say I stand out or brag about my lights someone wanted to see them so I showed them, I like them thats all it matters... And yes I can see at night I wouldnt have them if I couldnt? What a statement.

[JMG]

Then give me the money to buy xenons? Thats my problem to worry about if its cheap or not not yours. Thank you.

What I'm saying is, that it's not JUST your problem. It's the guy in front of you being blinded. It's your passengers who you are endangering with lights that aren't aimed properly. Long shots, sure, but the fact that it looks cheap also should persuade you to save up for some proper housings or stick with some nice halogens, which would do the actual JOB of making it safe to drive at night. That's the problem these days with ricers. I'm not saying YOU are a ricer, but isn't what we make fun of ricers for is when they chose form over function?

You DID go the cheap route because you didn't acquire the proper housings. Whether or not you or I think it's cheap or looks cheap is immaterial to the fact that it IS cheap. Does that make sense? It's like calling you out on paying for the $2 hamburger instead of the $6 hamburger. You got a $2 hamburger and you can taste and see it. It's a cheap burger. I can see you don't have the proper housings. Fact.

[B72.0T]

I get what you're saying and Im not saying I have the correct housing in any way. I was looking to buy projector headlights even before I bought the HID kit so it is on my to-do list. Its not like Im not going to get them and I never said Im keeping the halogens FOREVER. =/

[ItsThat2.0T]

ahahaha love the batman reference

[B72.0T]

ahahaha love the batman reference

Didnt get it, looks retarded thats all.

[b6onboost]

Right: Projector housings with 4300-5000k HIDs. Optimize light out put, beam pattern, and look cool/classy.

Wrong: Halogen housings with 10000k HIDs. Waste light output due to color, blind people, and look cheap/rice.

[topshelf BiZ]

This thread is pretty awesome. Cements the fact that going the cheap route is always the wrong route.

[Weem]

This thread is pretty awesome. Cements the fact that going the cheap route is always the wrong route.

I mean idk...i think it also comes down to opinion a little.

Like I said, my friend has Phils V3 LEDs and H7 50W 6000k in his halogen housing and i think it looks awesome. doesnt blind me at all at night. I'm going down the exact same route. But, to OP, maybe 10k is a tad bit much? but if you're happy with them im not gonna talk say much

[brownishwater]

If you don't have the money to get it done right, don't do it at all.

HIDs in non projector housings is also illegal

This thread needs to be closed.

[s-man]

arent dectanes cheap projectors? they go for like 250euros

[CystmX]

On the topic of bad HID upgrade. Can someone who has done the halogen to xenon conversion list what they did so that they can help others out? I also almost went the cheap way by just putting in xenon lights in a halogen housing. Good thing I didn't cause it would have looked like sh*t. I know it isn't cheap but $1500 for xenon housing is a little steep. Not to mention you need to pay another $200 or so just for the bulbs and ballast.

[EuroSpec27]

This thread needs to be closed.

Agreed.

[B72.0T]

Close it I dont care... I laugh at this thread everday because of all the people bashing. I get your point guys and thanks for the late heads up. But Ill keep my lights until I can get projectors.

Well you got the proper opinion a loooong time ago, everybody else is just being a dick. It's not being constructive in the least.

party pooper.

I get what you're saying and Im not saying I have the correct housing in any way. I was looking to buy projector headlights even before I bought the HID kit so it is on my to-do list. Its not like Im not going to get them and I never said Im keeping the halogens FOREVER. =/

So you agree with what everybody else is saying, that these are the wrong housings? I think the thought behind your lights are a good idea, but the execution was off. We all live and learn. Everyone is trying to help you out, both is style and safety!

On the topic of bad HID upgrade. Can someone who has done the halogen to xenon conversion list what they did so that they can help others out? I also almost went the cheap way by just putting in xenon lights in a halogen housing. Good thing I didn't cause it would have looked like sh*t. I know it isn't cheap but $1500 for xenon housing is a little steep. Not to mention you need to pay another $200 or so just for the bulbs and ballast.

Apparently you haven't read the whole thread.
If you did you would've seen what me and bblume said.

You can do the whole conversion for ~500-600.
Check ebay or the classifieds for the housings, even
if they're used, get them in good shape.

Ask Jens (LowestA4) for the HID kit (bulbs ballasts and wiring harness)

Most important of all... BE PATIENT!! and wait for the good prices to come.
That's what I did, and I did the whole conversion for $500

x2 leave the man alone... he doesn't need 25 people telling him he did the wrong thing.

I mean idk...i think it also comes down to opinion a little.

Like I said, my friend has Phils V3 LEDs and H7 50W 6000k in his halogen housing and i think it looks awesome.


x2 - no substitute for OEM projector housings first, THEN mod w/ CC, LED, etc…

IMO, the OP here is quite immature and should be ignored in his arrogance. Let him degrade his ride as he pleases!
