HID Retrofit kits

Lighten up Pal!
Just posting some info that may be of interest to some.
No barrow to push.

Go take a Bex and have a little lie down ;-)

John Bex is for pansy's, Valium is much BETTER!....happy happy days...all smiles.

Not having a go at you.

Unfortunately the guy who owns that site has a bee in his bonnet regarding HID lighting.

With testing we have done we find some OEM headlights and some driving lights work better then others when converted to HID regarding light output and increased scattering.

Most people who fit HID's don't adjust their lights down causing blinding to on coming vehicles and poor illumination of the road in front.

Time for a deep breath and another "mothers little helper".

Welcome to the outlaw club....

Rebel without a clue hey Olcoolone!

If they are ok....get them certified and show the authorities how wrong they are.

Matt you are a ......

I take it your disk brake Rear end in you Rodeo has an engineers report because it is illegal and dangerous to change braking types and alter ADR'sl.

What about the mounts for your Recaro's are they ADR and engineered approved.

Just thought you might be able to join he club.....but then again a non law breaker might not feel welcome!

Matt I don't really care if they are illegal or not and I think most people don't give a sh*t either.

There are so many other thing in this world that rate higher in mind then HID headlight conversions.

Get a life and grow up.

Hahahaha nice try idiot...when faced with a legitimate question you just counter attack....very mature.

Im not the wa_ker that gets on here every five seconds endorsing and encouraging a modification that would NEVER be done correctly. ie headlight washers, auto levelling devices and factory HID reflectors.......DIPPING THEM DOWN DOES NOTHING IF THE REFLECTORS ARE SCATTERING THE LIGHT INCORRECTLY!!!!

Obviously you have a vested interest either selling or fitting them.

Start considering other drivers and stop encouraging an illegal and dangerous mod.

ps...for the record my disc conversion uses all Isuzu parts including the proportioning valve. This has improved the braking ability of the vehicle.....IT DOES NOT BLIND OR AFFECT OTHER DRIVERS

You get a life

This is why you have to adjust them down or you will dazzle on coming vehicles.

When you fit HID's the focal length changes due to the distance from the reflector to the arc in the globe and secondly the filament in standard globes is horizontal where with HID's there is no vertical or horizontal plane with the arc causing a more even spread of light over the reflector.

Designers of lights use this horizontal plane to there advantage when the design a light.

We have found some lights not suitable for HID conversions and other very good.

We don't endorse HID lights but we are very happy personally with them.

Most people fit them to headlights and don't adjust them down, this is more of a problem with the people who are fitting them then the factory reflectors and lens.

I thought that HID lights also needed a "washing" function to ensure minimal dispersion of light? How do aftermarket kits handle this issue? (if there is one)

I don't see how aftermarket kit owners maintain the "non-dazzle" requirement when loading the vehicle constantly....do people adjust their lights every time they drive with load, or do they just adjust it for worse-case (fullly loaded rear-end) and put up with the less than ideal performance when non-loaded?

Apart from having a HID setup from the factory with self-levelling headlights and headlight washers, i would avoid HID due to the issues.
