i just installed my cefiros, as of now i have some luminic bulbs and the output is ok. heres my question, if i upgrade my h4s to some helio hids will it be like night and day, or should i just save my money. I also heard that these might melt the housing in my cefiros is this true yay or nay?

 

did you go with the cheapazz black housing cefiro headlights?

 

you might as well get projectors and do a retro if you want to be happy.

 

yea i got the smoked ones,(non oem), so you guys wouldnt recommend just upgrading to the helios? i dono if i could do the retro-fitting myself, they do look hot, nice job on yours by the way

 

HIDs should not "melt" your Cefiro lenses (OE or otherwise)...

here are some DiVX of HID in the OE Cefiros:

Light pattern i heard is not great on the non OE aftermaket one.

The problem with "melting" was using the higher 21W filament as "parking lights" in the corner 1157 bulbs. Only the small plastic cap melted inside it.

 

don't buy the helios crap. go retro, or go home.

 

they are a pos.. should have gotten the clear oem ones... you'll actually get a decent beam pattern with them using a shielded hid bulb..

 

how hard is it to retrofit, and what type should i be looking for. thanks

 

So the dark ones are crap? What's wrong with them? I'm thinking about getting cefiros since my corner/parking lights are messed up anyways.

 

i wouldnt go that far, i think mine look pretty decent. but im definitly gonna look into retrofitting some hids.

 

yes the black ones are crap.. i've seen beam pattens of it with a halogen h4.. a total pos comapared to the oem cefiros.

 

You almost have no choice but to retro them now with real hid projectors since the light output sucks. PM HomerMac, he maybe able to help you out more with cefiros.

 

Interesting...do you have these pics or was this in person? I myself run the smoked cefiros with h4 shields and phillips d2r bulbs, and there are a few hotspots, but an overall nice beam pattern. Next time I think I'll just black out the OEM cefiros. That will take care of things.

 

the pictures were posted by another member in another thread..

 

this may be a dumb question but what are helio hid's.. is this the brand or a type of hid? thanks

 

yea its a brand.

 

so how do we retro them, for those of us that arent in the know, cause i want my wheel to look like dat.
