hey all, i went to autobarn picked up hi beam globes..5000k philips..will get them installed tom. also bought white parkers..i tested it and it white lol not blueish. With the hid kit - it feels little odd - like as though thru normal traffic / streets it seems the original ones are brighter...or face right in front. Is that the case or is it just me? i also noticed that more of hte brightness are to the side rather than in front. any thoughts?
wanted to ask too - whats the legal max for hid kit 5000k? 6000k? coz someone told me it was below 5000k therefore i bought a 4300k. is there a chance to change the bulbs on that one and get brighter ones if it is allowed legally. thanks
Hey where did you get your HID kit from?
Rule says it must be white and not blue. I don't think there is a specific colour temperature written in the road rules.Quote:

What kit did you get? from eBay?
.
it doesnt matter what colour they are, if its aftermarket and you dont have the washers / auto leveler installed its not legal anyway
I got it from asia - the box is in the car ... i think the brand DAYLITE or something.
ABS121..sorry i dint get what u mean.......what washers or auto levelers?
The washers are those square plastic things you see just below the headlights on the bumper, they popup and wash the headlights. Its mandatory because dirty HID headlights can cause excess glaring and blind other drivers.
And the auto levelers level out the vertical position of the HID beam. Its mandatory to have HID auto-levelers because of n00bs who dont adjust their headlight aiming properly and blind other drivers.
U can get defected if a cop finds out that you dont have these features.
dang...i dint know that. where i can i get auto levelers? with the washers im guessing they r expensive?
from everything thats been posted - seems like it would have been easier to just stick to the original.
i can definately say when i see them - the lights are white. what if a car cant have washers installed then ...
what do i do....
you could probably get the original euro lux washers from the wreckers, or *gasp* buy the bits and pieces from honda.
not sure about the auto-levelers, the original lux ones may not be compatible with your HID setup.
I was thinking about getting HID too, but its too much hassle. Got some Philips BlueVisions instead, close enuf to HID :p
thanks eurodude..i know have alot of thinking to do....
would u recommend me taking the hid kit out and putting philips globes instead?
