whatever helps you sleep at night kittrel
All you kids running HIDs bulbs in your IPF or whatever lenses are running HIDs in a lens DOT approved for Halogen bulbs. You can rant and rave all you want about how nice it looks. But the spread is shit compared to the real thing and you are half blinding people.
I'm holding off on HID headlamps. I'll wait for LED headlamps. They'll have more bling factor and, if you know me....I'm all about bling. :laugh3:

I would like to see a picture of the bulb.
I guess the next question would be: "What housings is he, currently, using with that HID kit?"urban yan may be right about the bulb, but not all h4 hid setups look like this...
mine sure as hell dont...
It's damn near impossible to buy aftermarket German made stuff.... unless you go oem.Good lord I would never trust an American made HID kit. I'll give my business to the Germans. :wantyou:
I don't even know where to begin with that designBased on his description he is running one of those crappy H4-2 setups with a small halogen for the high beam.

That's why I keep suggesting oem D2S bulbs set in this H4 adapter... it's not a perfect solution,Focal length is the depth at which the bulb is setting in the housing/reflector.

BUT it takes allot of the guesswork out of HID installs in H4 housings
I try to stay away from anything but :greensmok
I posted them before when I got into an argument with purplecherokee over his HID set-up. Here's a link to a site the sells them (but you can find them anywhere... even on ebay). http://www.hidconcept.com/Adapters-h4.htmli know for a fact we have spared on this subject many a time, but this is THE FIRST ive seen you post those....
those seem interesting, more info pls?
purplecherokee defies characterization ... and no, I wasn't making that comparison (give me some credit lol). I was suggesting oem components because of my experiences with gray-market HIDs.if you're grouping everyone without projectors, who run hid's in with purplecherokee... thats just wrong.
I know this seems off topic but is that picture on Colfax by any chance?There are only two kits known to man that are an actual HID DOT approved kit.

Sylvania Xenarcs, modified housing for HID bulbs (something NONE of the other aftermarket housings are setup for)
And you've already seen Urban's Projector kit.
