Low beam R34 (9006) is a worse beam pattern than OEM headlights (9004). It just shows how important it is to get the optics correct when dealing w/lighting.

 

i dont believe that, the R34s have some terrible output, and the Cefiros are just as bad just horrible output, stock lights are actually better

 

Thanks a bunch, ya this thread has been up and down but a lot of help full info has come out of it even though some people are just to lazy to say an answer. But past that anyway, ill prolly pm him to get some estimates. Thanks for narrowing it down.

I do not have it on my car, but I have been piecing a kit together to do it the right way, and in my research I came across lots of things like these:
http://www.brightheadlights-hid.com/...kits-xenon.htm

I am choosing to use a bi-xenon projector from an Infiniti FX35 since I have a smaller pace to work with an would like a functioning High and Low beam. I am also using an OEM Infiniti FX35 HID kit as well because nothing beats OEM. So how about next time you do a quick google search instead of being an ***. I am not the normal newb. I do my research, I get out and get dirty trying to MAKE things work, not jump on the internet to ask what works so how abot you get off my back chief.

 

^^^^ Good for you newb! That's not even the right kit. LOL We have 9004 stock .... not 9003.

I have retrofit a pair of A6 projectors into my stock housings and I did this quite a while ago. The OP was asking which to go with and if he doesn't know that you have to (by law) have hi and low beams, then he should be reading to find out. As for OEM, there is better stuff out there than what the manufactuare makes - but do you want to pay for it? Depends .... some will and they are happy with it, some use OEM and like them too. I don't think it matters one bit honestly, as long as the person using them is happy.

It does strike me as strange that people without an HID set up give advice so freely, like they have done this thousands of times. My point is .... if you haven't made it work, haven't done this before, and just start spewin senseless info - nobody cares and you're not helping anyone. You can think I am the worlds most retarded *** on the planet, I don't care. Plain and simple. I am on here to learn and to help others, not to get attention. There are way too many people on the forums that talk **** and have never even done anything like this. For that matter there are posts like that in almost every thread on these boards. It's up to the person asking the ? to interprut the 'correct' answers. When you have members who have done a particular job before and can give you help, it's worth it's weight in gold.

Oh ... and have fun using your stock wiring with your - plug and play set-up. Hope it doesn't burn up and start a fire.

 

i have a PnP HID setup on my Bi-Xenon projectors, im not melting anything or starting fires

 

you will need projectors there is no question about it. putting HIDS into a halogen housing is terror for other drivers you will blind them and can possibly cause accidents. Your car was not designed for HIDS and at least in NJ they are illegal unless they came from the manufacturer for that specific reason. if your going to do this get projectors and save yourself tickets and broken headlights. trust me **** off the right people they will follow you til you leave the car and smash your lights in cause you blinded them.....dont ask me how i know. projectors will focus the hid light in an acceptable pattern for driving and also will actually put the lighton the road. HIDS in a halogen housing are uselss you may as well drive with no lights. again dont ask me know i know

 

If you feel ok with the stock wiring, so be it. I'm not sure I trust my ballast life to the stock wiring. It's very bad on the ballasts to turn them on / off frequently. That is why it's best to wire it in using relays. It will extend the life of your ballasts in the long run.

I have heard of people using PnP systems and having multiple problems, including a fire. I don't wish that on anyone.

 

the thing about it is the PnP kit pulls power directly from the battery&alternator, so the stock harness is used as a switch, stock harness has no access strain on it.

If im flipping my highbeams off and on yea that is bad for the ballast but i rarely do that, if i have to i will flip them on for about 2-3secs then turn them back off, i will not flash them

 

Um, how is flipping the high beams on and off bad bad for the ballast. On most bi-xenon projectors (the ones I have seen) use a shield to change the beam pattern. How does that effect the ballasts? Then again, not having HIDs in my car means I should not ask questions or give advice.

 

By flipping them on it powers the ballast for that split second which is bad for that ballast.
