I want to convert to HIDs but i don't know too much about them. My friend did it too his jeep and it looks sick but he has only the low beams, doing the highs would mean a whole new wiring set up. But my question is, do the bixenon kits have the highs/lows? I know i probably wouldn't need the highs but i would like to have them. Thanks!

You will need/seriously want highs, as I can't imagine driving without them. And yes, bi-xenon kits will have highs and lows, typically by using a movable shield around the bulb.

 

Wat year are you trying to put these in also.

 

This is interesting i would like to know too . i have only lows but my next set up i would like to do both .

 

Why not a retro and get good lighting.

 

cuz i cant do retro alone i need the car to drive every day and im low on money haha

 

The money you spend on kits can be used for a retro. If youtake your time you can get .

 

stock 96 maxima se.

 

In the stock 96 you are going to scatter light everywhere. I say retro but if you are strapped for cash at least get some clear headlights and make a glare shiled to cut down on glare.

 

They are going to glare bad but you can try to make you some glare shields..

 

hmm, scatter worse than halogens? see, i'm not that great at moding, i can plug and play but not retro fit.

 

well halogens do scatter but they arent bright enough to cause problems. Hids are ungodly bright and with the same scatter as a halogen bulb you are going to blind people . That s the last thing i want, the person comming at me not able to see.

 

true. so what would be the best way to go? Price wise and work wise?

 

in my opinion halogens aren't a big of a difference from the stock bulbs .they look better but once it comes to rain, you cant see anything lol i have H.I.D in my 97 . i just aimed them down not too blind people. but yea 96 lights are different so cant tell

 

Honestly the r34 one pieces dont glare as bad with hids as i have them in now. But i would say save your money and do a retro. not really that expensive if you really look at the cost of things. If not get the r34s and hids and aim them down.

 

I installed HID's on my 96 back when I had it, and it was a total glare to on coming traffic. They were 8k's.

 

Projector retro is the only real way to go... If you can't find the time or don't want to attempt it yourself, find someone/some company that will. Plenty of those in the HID Planet forums.

 

Some on hidplanet will charge a pretty penny. I say try it your self. then if it doesnt work have someone do it.

 

i heard there are digital ballasts equipped Pnp hid kits that come w/ a cut off built into the setup.

i "heard". might wanna look into those and see if those are something you might be interested in.

 

Link me please. I would like to see what these look like.

 

Unless U are retroing dont do HIDs with that pitted styled lens I got a 6k kit on my car and the glare for the other drivers is terrible my lights are pretty much aimed at the ground right in front of the car battling it out with my fogs lol to make it easier on them even if U do have cleared lens it is still pushing it with HIDs do a retro look for some TL Bi-Xenon or FX Bi-Xenon projectors the are not that much U can find them for just under $100 shipped if U look around I'll be retroing myself pretty soon

 

Not saying that he cant do it as we all know he can do it. Will it be the best no. But if he needs lighting i say replace your factory and save your money.
