New HID

[DaViSoN]

Well i just installed a KDG HID Kit
and wat i've found is that with the dc2 headlight setup, the HID light doesnt seem to project widely. The light basically doesnt seem to spread too well.
Does anyone with HID on their DC2 have the same problem?

[J-MuN]

how much u pay for the KDG Kit Davison?... its made in Taiwan right?...

[DaViSoN]

made in korea buddy
payed 500 for em

[Zimp13]

wat brand issit?

[MrThanh]

korea, taiwan, same shit different smell. still poor quality. shouldve saved up a bit more and got yourself a decent kit.

what colour temp did u get? you will find that you have less light the higher the colour temp.

[JINRAI]

while we're on the topic...what are some decent kits? is Aura alright?

[DaViSoN]

i gotta 6000K kit
sooo... does anyone have any opinions?
and btw Mr Thanh the higher the the temp only gives a diff colour not that much of a dimmer light
but yeah mines pure white

[MrThanh]

colour temps play a big part with lighting up objects.

read up on how light works, before you make statements like that n00b

Just for those interested, this company sells the same HIDs, repacked and rebranded under 2 different japanese names, but is essentially the same product.

So dont always just trust a kit that is a japanese brand
Or dont always mistrust a kit that has a non-japanese brand..

i think the moral of the story goes somethin along those lines :rolleyes:

Yep, I'm starting to hear some good things about Korean made products like HIDS. Seem to be catching up to the Japanese in quality. Though having said that, there's probably still some 'iffy' quality products made there. Only know if they're a good product when you get them.

And Mr Thanh is spot on, 4300-4500k will be the brightest as that is pure white. 6000k will have a tinge of blue and won't be as bright.

i have HID on reflector, and it spreads ok... not too wide to blind on-comin traffic. How wide do you want them to spread? cant you adjust the headlight horizontally?

[uetecu]

The spread isn't as much as a problem compared to the height usually? dc2's lights tend to be much lower to the ground compared to other cars.

You will prob find your left headlight slightly higher than your right for safety reasons so that would be normal.

If you wanted to adjust your spread, you will need to adjust the horizontal alignment which will only move the beam to which ever side you choose.

what sort of globes are in them davison
they looked cool as the other night :wave:

[sharik]

Yeah you tell him Davison:cool:
Nice car by the way, and good luck with everything.

[redliner]

its not really the colour temp the problem... no matter wat temp. you put in to headlight you will still get some dimmed areas and some bright areas (uneven spread). Thats because the headlight wasnt made for HID. You need retrofit. My friend has Philips 6000k HID kit in his dc2r, it blinds the hell outa the on comin traffic, but when you face the light against the wall there some uneven spread toward the outta edge of the light. hope that helps.

Korea start to be okay but not on their bulbs and that's y Japan still made their own HID bulbs for their HID kit

but KDG is the very nice overall

[MrThanh]

yea my spread vertically is fine but horizontally could do with some improvement. and the light spread is not really constant.. kinda darker in some areas...
and MR Thanh ur abit of a dickhead dun u think?
have a read of wat i said "not THAT much of a dimmer light" before u act like a smartass. And my problem is the spread of the light not the strength. idiot

indeed i am a dickhead, thanks for pointing that out.

and dimmer light means weaker light, scattered light is spread out light. there is a substantial difference.
