I havent seen too many post pics or reviews besides PBX of quality of Helios or Umnitza 9004 HIDs...

In my fcking accident, my left Hanabi bulb, starter, and ballast were all crushed...and I cant seem to find the exact replacement...

So Ill end up having to get a new set, due to the pics Ive seen of the 7000k difference btwn Hanabi and Helios....totally different color.

Ideas? Pics?

 

a little OT, but how is light output with 7000K?

 

Light output during the day if it helps...9000K!

 

bump........

 

why dont you get projectors?

 

Hey PBX. Could you take and post a night picture from inside the car, so we can see the beam pattern on those? That would be very helpful.

Thanks.

 

bump, bump

 

Projectors or die, as far as i'm concerned...

 

ive never sat in a car with straight helios HID kits, but i have in cars with projector retros... cuts through rain like butter

non-projector HID kits blind me when i see them in other peoples cars.. im sure theres plenty of output tho.

 

im using Xtec and they seem to be really nice, and lifetime warranty on anything that happens, no question asked. i recomend them, and if you are interested, i can get a pair for you. pm me if you are interested.

 

Do you have any night pics from inside the car?

 

anything over 4500-5000 kelvin is pointless. The lumens per foot just decreases rapidly. the higher kelvin ratings are just for color. so basically for actually seeing on the road (that is what headlights are for) your not gonna see much. basically as the temp gets hotter the lumens get lower.

 

Thats true but its not as bad as people make it seem. Even my 9OOOK bulbs put out more than enough to light up everything in front of me. Also projectors are a must...

 

Night pictures...still researching about projectors.

 

 

I like it with projectors, but without them is fine from what i can see on PBX's car. i know i cant do a retrofit myself, and all i really want to be able to do is see. for me, at night, its almost like not having headlights. im going to do the hid kit by the end of this month.

pbx did u get the clear headlight housings or is that stock?

 

why don't you guys get 4,300k its the brightest and whitest... thats the only way to see veryvery clearly at night... even better with projectors.

 

Im so used to the 7000k...I dunno if I want anything different.

And yes, projectors would be way better, but I dont have the time, money or patience to fabricate teh housing at the moment.

 

i don't think i ever seen someone sell a 4300k plug and play kit. the lowest i've seen are 5k

 

i have the Helios since october, and i am very happy with it.

 

Nope thats the next thing on my list...plus some blue bulbs.

Also if anyone is intrested I'm selling my 9000K bixenons for 255 shipped w/ tracking. I'm losing $100 on the deal they are less than a week old.

I'm getting the 7000K kit instead or speakers. Havent decided yet. Shoot me a pm if your intrested.
