I hate people who think it’s okay to put HID headlights in a car that
originally had halogens. I have two cars that have HID headlights but they
were a factory option so I’m not blinding anyone. You should take those
bulbs out of your car and put the factory ones back in so you don’t blind
someone and cause an accident. Every time I see someone with aftermarket
HID headlights I turn my Highbeams on so they can be blinded too.
Eric was only half-right about the Kelvin number. He was correct when he
said it is a measure of the color. The higher the color temperature, the
more blue the light will appear, but it has NOTHING to do with the
brightness. As a point of reference, the surface temperature of the sun is
just over 5000 degrees Kelvin and that’s what determines the color of
daylight. The filament of a halogen lightbulb commonly found on cars is
about 3200 degrees Kelvin and looks a bit yellow.
eric , i’ve recently purchased a 2000 lincoln continental 4 door sedan , i
would like to upgrade the headlights to hib . can you tell me if i need the
“canbus” system on this car ? so i can figure out what kit i need to get .
thanks drew
Hello
Eric
what happens if you remove the metal reflector piece in your head light
will it still work, cause i cannot get my headlights to adjust properly the
driver’s side has a perfect beam of light and the passenger side has a
shadow so i was wondering if i take out that metal reflector piece will it
make a difference and work better
thanks
thats a cheap set up.
Fucking morons with their piece of shit HIDs. Shove those lightbulbs right
up your asses assholes.
Those things are way too bright. Every time I have some ass h*** driving
toward me I can’t see ANYTHING for 10-15 seconds. There’s just no need for
it.
Take this video down. This is NOT a repair video, this is NOT an
improvement video, this is how to install cheap Chinese crap into your car
that will blind other motorists. True HIDs require proper projection and a
halogen headlight assembly CANNOT handle this type of light. If you think
“Well I aimed them down” is a solution for this then the next time you
break a bone I’ll spit on the limb and say its fixed.
For all you people who are hating on HID’s being installed in other
vehicles. If you don’t like them stay away from North Little Rock, Arkansas
because almost every law enforcement vehicle here has these upgrades in
their cars and they just happen to use 8-10k bulbs. And I should also point
out that HID setups are “not” illegal in the state of Arkansas as long as
they are installed properly (in other words you must have a projector lens
if upgrading from halogen). Also I would like to point out that the bracket
used to mount the ballasts has bolt holes on both ends of the bracket and
they are supposed to be mounted as flat as possible (not hanging from where
Mr. Eric mounted his) in a location where there is little to no vibration
or where moisture can get to them. And most HID install kits come with a
projector housing in case you are replacing Halogen bulbs just like in my
case as Mr. Eric here my Mazda 6 uses 9003/H2 bulbs my kit was the exact
same kit he received except I didn’t receive a cheap kit like him. in my
case each ballast ran independently instead of needing a control relay as
he did. if you buy a kit that has this relay you got yourself a very cheap
kit.
Title should be, “How to install a cheap ass ‘Made In China’ HID kit in a
halogen housing that will have absolutely no beam pattern what-so-ever and
blind me at night with your ghetto hook up”. Do it right, retrofit HID
projectors.
As I saw You changed the connector the opposite way, as You said ( if it’s
not working, you have to change it the opposite way, as the description
says) :)
Drunkenrobot you need to keep drinking, and stop writing about things you
don’t know about.
@Ted Hartman Where is your proof? As he states in the “RE:” vid it IS legal
in some states. Maybe if you could show us where you read where its illegal
in all states you wouldn’t look like such a moron who just THINKS they know
what they are talking about.
The dead grasshopper on your battery was my favorite part.
Which HID setup would be adequate for 1999 Toyota Camry LE, 8000K or 10000K
in diamond or sapphire white?
Good Vid- I just bought a BMW 323i that came with the HID’s and I had to
repair 1 so thanks for the helpful info
GREAT JOB
If you predrill holes your UniBits last a lot longer.
i cannot believe how many “modders” are putting HID bulbs in a halogen head
light housing. Totally illegal in any state. See the DOT regulations. Don’t
be cheap guys, at least do a complete retrofit using a projector. Even
by-xenon projectors cost around 50.00 or so. Stop blinding on-coming
traffic.
@Steven Kearney And as before, no one asked for your opinion. As a matter
of fact, by the way your acting, I wish you would break a bone. I’ll do
better than just spit on it.
Actually what you were talking about with Kelvin, is called Color
Temperature. Color Temperature, basically abbreviated as K for simplicity
sake, is a measurement of color not visible brightness, which is measured
in Lumens or Lux. The brightest color temperature for Xenon HID bulbs (at
least for autos sake and in terms of Lumens and Lux) tends to be around
4,500K – 6,500K. It depends on a few things I have seen 8,000K bulbs blue
as blue, and I have also seen them almost near white. So it depends on the
brand, bulb, ballast, power, and etc.
i recently brought an SDX H4 kit for my 2000 Honda CR-V. However, i’m
having a hard time installing it. Could u please show me how it’s done?
@Steven Kearney Move on. This is NOT your channel. You dont like it go some
where else.
Even the new car with “stock” HID lights are an extreme danger to motorists.
These need to be recalled.
8:38 Did you purposely focus on the dead cricket or just happened to be
there and how does a cricket end up on a battery
