H4 10K HID & Projector H4 housing

What the hell is that?
That's the most horrible 'cutoff' I've ever seen!

Those headlights are what, lenses stuck in the middle of an H4 conversion housing? Absolutely retarded.

^You don't understand the concept of proper lighting output at all, do you?

Okay, first of all, do you see what I've done here? The site has a nifty little feature called "Multi-quote". You should use it. One post is better than four. Now...

Well, you can expect plenty from H4s. Get a good H4 headlamp housing such as Cibie or Hella and use quality bulbs, and you can expect fantastic lighting. You don't even need to run any shitty rebased HID kit in the housings to get good lighting.

Silverstars. One of my stock headlights blew out, and the only thing left in stock at Autozone that night was the Silverstars. They suck, but thats okay. I don't drive much at night anyway.

We're only giving you shit because you posted up a setup that is quite possibly the most janky fucking thing we've ever seen here, and you said it was decent. Clearly, it is NOT decent; it is absolute garbage.

hpipro4 · 12-28-2008, 03:12 AM

nice feature....anywayz

that was the only thing i could afford when i needed an h4 conversion housing cause i hated running sealed beams.....live and learn right!

what housing would you recommend if i stick with hid??

thanks for helpin the brotha out....

soreballz · 12-28-2008, 03:46 AM

^Cibie or Hella.

But its still gonna look like butt with HIDs in them. And not good butt like J-Lo or Vida Guerra... I'm talking 400 pound whale of a woman butt. NASTY.

This may be the nooobest question ever. But what kind of bulbs can be used in an H4 housing? Since you say HID's are shit. Bi-Xenons (or others) im assuming?

H4 halogens.

35w.

soreballz · 12-28-2008, 05:25 PM

^What he said. Lots of companies make bulbs that fit the bill. Try clearcorners.com

aziankingz · 12-28-2008, 08:56 PM

hpipro.. what kind of projectors did you retrofit into your h4 housings?

i just picked up a pair of h4 headlights with silvia projectors retrofitted into them..anyone know how well that would be with hids?

A normal beam pattern. ie:

Yes, I do even have an S13.

He doesn't have projectors, they just look like projectors. They're ghetto eBay units.

Silvia as in S15 with factory HID, or previous models' projectors?

aziankingz · 12-28-2008, 09:17 PM

None. If you're gonna convert to HID, do a complete projector retrofit using OEM parts, or stay out of HID. Period.

soreballz · 12-28-2008, 10:09 PM

This thread would be cooler if Mike was posting/flaming. lol

HyperTek · 12-28-2008, 10:48 PM

hpipro4 pic aint bad, its just a horrible wall to shoot as reference. and 10k is a bit extreme... Id perfer 4k, 6k at most *i had installed 6k in my 190e, which had euro headlights and glare sheilds*

i had ubber jdm $$$ raybrig housings in my old s13 *sorry no HID, didnt want to put HID and attract extra police attention*

*before you say there is glare, that was a new white garage door it will reflect anything, but.. considering ANYTHING IS A UPGRADE OVER STOCK ASS HEADLIGHTS. AND IT STILL IMPROVES YOUR VISIBILITY*

dispite the jdm rhd pattern, they where the tits with sylvania silverstars
when your zipping along on the freeway in the carpool lane and you could see the cut off light pattern along the left wall, looked soo nice.

Ive had friends who have cheap ebay housings and the light output is no where near those raybrigs. * I wish i had put some cheapos on my s13 when i got rid of it to keep those lights but didnt expect to get another car with 6054s a year later*

I got some Autopal H4 in the fc and they aint the best lol

soreballz · 12-29-2008, 12:36 AM

^The light output from the cheapo eBay housings and bulbs is flat out scary. I had a set once that came on a parts car. I had them on my car for all of one hour of night driving because I couldn't see shit! Dim stock headlamps are better than the eBay ones.

[quote=aziankingz;2534936]hpipro.. what kind of projectors did you retrofit into your h4 housings?

i didnt....they were like that when i bought it...

Colorado S14 · 12-30-2008, 08:37 AM

I have run an HID kit in my stock S14 Kouki projectors for a long time and the cutoff was so nice that I never felt the need to upgrade to an OEM projector. If you do decide to buy a HID kit get a quality one, I ran a kit that constantly needed replacement ballasts and that is a major PITA.

Matej · 12-30-2008, 08:48 AM

HID's are rad.

I have HID's.

Why?

Because HID's are rad.

Do I care about anything else besides rad?

No.

hpipro4 · 12-30-2008, 09:07 AM

which housing are you using???

afraid to get blind by people with HID? Why complaint like a lil b*tch...

Fight back with broadway mirrors!

becuz...you shouldn't have to sacrifice better lighting/visibility for shitty halogen lights!

gordo- i would not recommend pointing them down and driving around with them on. as stated earlier by fliprayzin, there is no cutoff on high beams. if you look at most cars w/ seperate high/low beams, the low beams have shields and highs do not. if for s14, you are better off purchasing another kit for the low.

ideally retrofit is best.

something like this:

which produces a cutoff like this:

hit up mmm858 for more details.

extremely F'IN SICK!!!!
NEED TO DO "A HOW TO POST" ON THESE BAD BOYS
NICE HEADLIGHTS

murda-c · 12-30-2008, 12:02 PM

cept for the extreme ugliness caused by those caps in the headlight next to the projectors, the ill fitting clear covers, and the fact that zenkis don't look right with clear covers.

cxlo8331 · 12-30-2008, 12:10 PM

^true!
i'm not a total fan of how the look in the headlight, but you can't deny they look good at night and produce excellent cut off and beam pattern.
not my car btw.
the car belongs to mmm858.
he did the retrofit himself w/ tsx projectors iirc.
pm him for more details.
