Those of you with H4 Hi/Low HID's.....
 
Just wondering if you had the piggy backed halogen hi beams facing the outside of the car or towards the middle of the car? Do you understand what I'm saying? Say the halogen is < and the HID is *. From the front of the car do they look like:

<* *> or like *> <*

Just trying to figure out if that would have something to do with the glare issue.

i believe mine are like <* >* or *< *> from what i remebr, i thought both bulbs were the same, il have to recheck, i never use the highs anyway, should have saved the money and gone with non hi/lows

wanta02max Oct 13, 2005 07:36 AM

yeah the highs don't really do too much for me either....they just shine out rather than up.

You mean it doesn't go on the bottom like this?

The only thing I'd suggest is take pics on a flat surface with the hi's on. If the difference is negligable then don't worry about it. If one is visibly better than the other then go with that. I'm surprised they didn't design it to mount on the bottom. :gotme:

<~~Bi Xenon Hi Los.

Had McCulloch Hi Los before w/ Halogen Hi beam, I remember them on top of the bulb, did nothing for me, and spent the xtra to get true bi xenon.

I've heard the mechanism in aftermarket bi-xenons are problematic.

Hi-beams go on the outside.

wanta02max Oct 19, 2005 08:24 AM

No, after taking pics I realize the camera, on any setting, does no justice to the positives and negatives of the HIDs. It pretty much looks like everyone elses. Naturally he beam pattern have NO cutoff and looks like extremely bright halogens which naturally have glare. I haven't had any problems in the city driving so far. I'd love to install the glare shield from Casper Electronics but I'm afraid it will interfere with the hi-beam.

You have to post 15 times before you can start a new thread. If you want "privileges" like searching and viewing/posting in OT you must donate.

These rules are to keep down on spammers.

Edit: Also, those HIDs you linked look like knock-offs rebadged just like all the other ones on the market.
