Brightest headlights

milewsky80 · Jan 15, 2009

Got a new job that has me driving in the dark a lot. The smoked cobra lights from BOI just aren't cutting it even with good bulbs. Found these projector lights and was wondering if anyone has experience with them or a better suggestion.

If you're going to go with a HID setup, don't do it the half assed way, by installing a rebased xenon bulb in the factory housing. You really do need to retrofit a projector into the headlight housing, if you want to do it correctly. Otherwise, you'll be blinding oncoming cars with your low beams because the bulb will have a tremendous amount of glare, in a housing it's not designed for. There's a wealth of information on HIDPlanet.com Forums, if doing a retrofit is something that may interest you. They'll also go into more detail about why not to use a rebased bulb in the factory housing, including multiple pictures.

I have these along with a set of their ultra clear corners:

Personally, I like smoked lights better for looks, but I do a fair share of night driving and these work great Much better than those halos...

Hid retrofit or cobra clears
I will be making a set of cobra clear with HID retrofit when I run out of projects to do.

What about this style projector? Is anyone using these style projectors they seem like they would be great for a HID conversion.

I have H.I.D's in BOI smoked housings.. They made a night and day difference.. I can actually see again!! Also, the glare that everyone mentions isn't really there..

I have no glare with my Cobra lights with HID's.... The glare comes in when you have a fluted lens... if the lens is clear plastic there is no glare....

bditty50 · Sep 22, 2009

But, do the lights sign in all directions like most of the HID lights or are they focused and straight ahead?

Don't do HIDs with anything but projectors. Any reflective housing you buy for our cars is not designed for HIDs at all and will cause excess glare. Even the projector headlights you can buy aren't meant for them, but due to the basic design of a projector beam an HID setup can be used. I bought DEPO projectors and an MTEC HID kit for my '95 and am pretty pleased with it. However, the beam cut off isn't as crisp as OEM styles, and I still get the occasional flash from someone thinking they're too bright.

bditty50 · Sep 23, 2009

Can we see some pics of how they look with the HIDs on?

My lights actually are more stright ahead than all around. I want to add some fog lights just to help with in front of the car...

I had an 8K HID kit in my ultra clear housing with crappy halogens in my ultra clear cobra fogs and it was a night and day difference. Never did get that glare you hear so much about and never blinded anyone with em. A good friend of mine just upgraded to a 20K kit in his Saturn ION Redline....now those are insane and over the top. WAY TO BRIGHT!

Here are a couple pix of mine. The second pic is shown shinin on my ex-wife's lil junk@$$ honda hatch.

The higher the Kelvin the lower the output. 4300k is optimal, so that 20k your friend put in is actually less powerful than the 8k that you have.
