i know that a high K doesn't mean more light output, just a diff wavelength/colour...
but even so i thought you would still get a brighter/more light output with HIDs than u would with halogens....
i just got myself a 8000K kit...waiting for delivery...
okie will check it later on.
If you choose to keep the HID's, at least get some decent Philips HID bulbs under 5000k. The bulbs u have are probably cheap ones not made in germany. Osram and Philips are the top of the range since they share patents.
will any H1 globe work with the HID kit or are there special HID globes?
can someone point me to the right direction to purchase HID GLOBE s/white globe

Or have a look at some auto shops like AutoOne, Supercheap etc..
And give this a read - some good info: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...&highlight=hid
absolutely completely different. No similarities at all.Quote:

Very very very poor output. It'll appear sorta bright just because the blue will offer some weird contrast, but you'll be very limited by what you can see at night. If you compared an identical set up using a 4300k bulb, you'd be absolutely amazed at the difference in light output.Quote:

-- theres a shadow of a line .....which i cant figure out....
would it be recommended to bring it to honda and get them to fix everything the way it shud
holy crap, that's hideous
don't bother with honda, they'll just laugh at you about it anyway.
First thing you should do is remove the bulb, and then reinsert it. Certainly looks to not be seated correctly.
The shadow is likely from the return wire of the bulb... the bulb is probably upside down. The wire on the bulb must face down.
If pulling the bulbs out and reinserting doesn't work, then you, like a lot of other people, have an extremeley shitty hid kit. Not only does it work very very poorly like all of 'em, it's so shitty that it doesn't even fit in the light correctly. Certainly wouldn't be the first person to have such a thing happen.
currently im using phillip "blue vision" 4000k, it wouldnt be as bright as those HID kit, i heard phillip"crystal vision" is does make some different, is any one try before?
buying colored halogen bulbs only results in a major loss of light output. They achieve they're higher k output by adding a filter to the bulb, that changes the color by eliminating the light on the yellow side of the spectrum. Pretty much the best halogen bulbs on the market are the osram silverstars that DO NOT have the filter on them(unlike the Sylvania Silverstars that do have the filter).
If when you look at the bulb, it has a blue coating, throw it away.
