Anyone actually done HID's??????

[3gn86lxi]

Has anyone actually done them in an h4 housing?? I know there is a lot of TALK about it........BUT has any body done them?
I am wanting to buy a Bixenon HID conversion with my Autopal (Hella) h4 housings, and I just wondered if someone has coverted before, or knows someone who has.
It's alot of money, but I think it will be worth every penny.

Wow, no body has actually done HID's???
I guess I will be the ground breaker here then, I am puchasing the kit at the end of the month!
Pictures to come!

you need to buy the adaptor for the bulb, I used these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H4-Adapters-for-Philips-D2S-D2R-HID-bulbs-Xenon-OEM_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36476QQitemZ8006515 829QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW):

and JB Welded the bolbs to it, then the bulb/adapter fit perfectly to the H4 housing.

Well, the kit I am going to get has the metal reflector deals on the bulbs already. I am doing the bixenon kit for hi/low beams.
Have you done this POS carb??????
Was the light output nice, what housings did you use?

[POS carb]

Autopal H4s glass, the bulbs were some cheapos, one is a little blue and the other is pure white. THey're supposed to be 10k, they're more like 6k to me

Sorry about the blurry pics, I need a better camera

HOLY SHIT!!! I WANT SOME!

[3gn86lxi]

RIGHT ON POS carb!!!! That is what I have....the Autopal h4 housings.
OMG.... those are bright as fuck!!!! That makes me happy to see yours.
I should be able to order my kit on the 22nd this month. btw, the kit is 8000.

[FyreDaug]

8000.... thousand? what the fuck

[Rendon LX-i]

So u can buy that adaptor and i can put em in my h4 housing and can put hids...i tought u could just buy the h4 kit and plug and play deal...guess not.....so buy that adaptor and then it will work..correct?

[3gn86lxi]

8000.... thousand? what the fuck
color temperature.....
6000= white
8000= blue
10000= violet, ect.
got it?
No rendon, you need to get ballast's and ignitors too if you get it piece by piece.

[smufguy]

Paul, The guy from Russia who blessed us with an online shop manul, has real HIDs in his car.

[my86dx4dr]

I have the 6000's in my st162, and had the 8000's when i first got the h4 housings, where would i pick up a set of 10000's? how much? will the bulbs fit right into the h4 housings? Im pretty sure i have the same "size" you all have they're just a square glass housing with rubber cub on the back that goes over the main clamp.

[smufguy]

a retro fit H4 HID kit from phillips should not run you more than 500 bux or even 600bux. it was 600 bux like two years back. But now it should have dropped down. IF any, i would go with pia or hella H4 conversion housings. Their refractors make lot of difference than the cut back reflectors. But if you can find a good H4 housing that can have good reflectors in the back, it should yield good spread pattern.

3gn86lxi: good job man. i hope your lil project turns out good.

[HondaBoy]

i'm still debating on whether or not the buy a $1200 complete kit. comes with starters, ballasts, bulbs, and hella projectors mounted in a housing that looks like 6054's that our cars came with. i think the price will be a little less than $1200, but that was a ball park price so i wouldnt be surprised. i owe it to myself to get them, i do almost all of my driveing at night. i bet those ones POS carb has make some bit of glare. i'd settle for an H4 HID conversion kit using Hella vison plus or E codes.

[3gn86lxi]

Damn hondaboy....check that link that I put in the first post. $1200 for a plug and play?? I can e-bay that kit for $359+ 15 to ship!

[SataniC]

omg...how come the HID there is super expensive guys?here HID runs to like RM1,200....around USD300 and it came in different shapes...either H4 or watnot..no need conversion holder..and this one is for the good brands one....got mine...6K hid cos here it always rain and anything more than 6k is worse on rainy nites...awesome...

i have to agree with you, i can't see shit when it rains and find it quite scary to drive, makes me wish i had yellow lights.

[HondaBoy]

the housings alone are $582 each, i think that's each. has an S after its item number. anyway, yeah, i'd probley do a kit with Hella housings the cut the price way down.

[ivanfbi]

I think you do not wanna go over 8000K It actually loses its brightness then. BMW, Audi, Acura, MB, Volvo, they all use somewhere about 4500K, which is brightest, but if you want some blue ish, go with 6000K. I bought my 5400K HID kit with 9006 bulbs for $210. brand new. But I didn't need to convert my housings, for me it was just plug and play. Also some guys on our forum have done custom Projector fit into their stock headlights, and it worked for them.

[3gn86lxi]

Just bought and paid for my kit.
i will post pics of the before and after. Can't wait to get it.
:)

[HondaBoy]

i'm looking and comparing kits today. i see a lot of decent ones, but their warrenty policies are something i watch for. if i cant get a good warrenty, its not worth looking at. i looked at some that use McCulloch ballasts. one was a complete kit by Pilot. under $300, but i dont know how good they actually are. i'd be worried about buying something that isnt a complete kit, or one that doesnt fit into the headlight housing. i dont think i want to use the euro projector housings i have with HID. that'd create a crap load of upper glare just from the reflector. there's so many sellers, but its hard to tell which is legit and which is a waste of money. there should be a sticky or something made with comparisons and reccomendations. and links to good sellers of HID kits. that'd be nice to see.

[3gn86lxi]

This is the company I just ordered mine from.hidynamic.com
And I had looked also, these guys have a nice setup, and a warantee.
These are Hella bulbs also. And Phillips ballast.
Complete kit.....$359 and change shipped.
This kit is a bixenon kit also, keeps your high beam feature, which alot of retrofit kits are not. Makes it more expensive.

[HondaBoy]

that's one i had checked out and considered. since you got it, now i can find out if they are good products.

[L337Ride]

The Phillips and Hella kits will be pretty expensive but they are great. I got my McCulloch kit for 330 shipped. Came with 8000K bulbs, ballasts, ignitors, and wiring harness(which you will need also.) The bulbs came with the glare shields on them so there would be no need for an adaptor with this kit. I can pm you the vendor if you like.

What???

[Busted_Blue]

i still am not convinced. Yes it is brighter...but if you look at the wall pics from POSCARB, you can see soooo much glare. There is no limit on where the light goes and it just blinds everyone.


Since i live in sf, fog visiblity is also a BIG factor and as all of you know, highbeams = no no in fog. Those HIDS look almost like highbeam height so it would blind me more than anything in the dense fog of san francisco bay area.

Otherwise I probably would've went with these looong time ago. I preferr the Raybrig + Hella setup over a HID setup that won't get me the satisifcation of an OEM quality.

[L337Ride]

I get hardly no glare with mine, the only reason you see glare in my picture is because I took the picture below the cuttoff. I live in the mountains of Tennessee and I have no problem in fog, even with the higher K temp bulbs.

That's actually pretty good. The problem though, is not universal. it's more directed to our accords specifically. The h4 housings are designed pretty poorly compared to OEM housings. I'm actually amazed at your output.

I have a friend with RSX with H1 hid plug n play and it is horrible. Another friend with DC4 integra has HID (two of them actually) and they both have cutoffs similar to yours but.still have a large amount of glare. I mean, I'm probably just picky but I want something similar to S2000 cutoff or BMW output.

Another issue is..high/lo beam since we use H4.


A guy can wish (since i don't have money hah)



oh yea picky on words..but retrofit means (custom oem projectors into your headlights) not just plug n play.

Yea, actually the size of the housings on the ep3 are HUGE, and should in theory provide much more glare than a 3g accord. I do use the H4 universal kit, but I just chose to get a low beam only kit because I heard the hi/lo mechanism dies a rather quick death. The low beams are pretty power packed anyway so I would up happy. Man if you can do a retrofit and have the technical experiance to do it the right way, go for it man thats awesome. I myself prefer simplicity and got the kit hah. Im willing to bet your buddy with the RSX didnt get glare shields with his kit, and I can imagine it would be horrific.

[3gn86lxi]

Well I missed the Fed Ex guy today. So I guess I will get them tomorrow. I'll post pics soon though!

[L337Ride]

yea, cant wait to see pics! If you have any q's on the install let me know.
oh, did you get a wiring harness with your kit?

sweet...sadly i just sold mine like 2 days ago...im financially unstable at the moment...dang ol yellow light again.... :(

they look great bro, are they 8000's? Get a shot against a wall or something, im curious to see the beam pattern.

yea if i was satisfied with just low beam, i would get the low beam kit loong ago. My buddy probably did just get the one without the glare shields because they were originally for BMWs h1 kits because it is from an RSX. Low beams are great but I need my high beams when I go cruising in the mountain roads at night. Sounds very initial d like but hey, its what I do with my cars and i love it.


High + low = what I want but...like you said, those kits don't seem to have a great reputation for long lasting motors. perhaps a retrofit is in order. =)

I'll post a pic of the high beam for ya D. I will just say......impressive.

[3gn86lxi]

So far so good........ If anyone is still considering getting this kit, I reccomend you do it. I have had NO issues with it so far.:)

[3gn86lxi]

So thats about three problem free months. Everythings great! Quality kit for sure.

[w00tw00t111]

Awesome. Glad to hear you haven't had any issues with'em!

[HondaBoy]

whadda ya think of this?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/HondaBoySi87/0271d89c.jpg































ahh, you thought! but those are piaa GT-X H4s. nice color but not the light output i really want. those 100 watt fogs are great in helping light up where i need.

[3gn86lxi]

Those look really nice. Thats actually what I run in my wife's van, but when I get out of my car and drive her van.........I can't see! Imagine that.

[HondaBoy]

hmm, imagine that. lol. yeah. well the piaas do have a nice ass color to them, but dont shine for shit compared to lighter tinted bulbs. i'm probley going to get some hella housings because its not so much the bulb output as it might be the spread of the light from the housings im using which are IMO, crap. look good though, thats about it. they arent too bad though, because they are much better than sealed beams by a big amount. lets just face it, i'm not going to be happy until i get a real HID system put in. i've just got to face the truth :lol:

[3gn86lxi]

yep, I searched and tryed alot of bulbs till I did the HID's. And there's no turning back now. lol
When I can afford to do a kit in the wifes van, I am going to do it too.
There is just no comparison to the output of true HID light.

[3gn86lxi]

:D :D
Just bought a kit for my motorcycle!!!! :eek5:
Can't wait to get that one.
I HIGHLY reccomend it to anyone who can afford the conversion, but make sure you use a Hella style housing!!

[HondaBoy]

yeah, definately wanna see the lights on the bike. now, on that did you change the headlight housing? i know a lot of newer bikes come with a projector low beam which is really nice for oncomming drivers. i guess if it has old style lights hella's would be the way to go.

It has the euro style H4 housing, but specific for a motorcycle. Has a really wide pattern. I ordered LED signals, and I have LED accent lighting to install also.:) It's going to be pretty cool.

It's done......check thread in o.t. for write up.

[hondaaccord_86]

What about the projector housings? Do you think that would give off the best light with HIDs?

[HondaBoy]

the only projector housings i've found that are really a projector, not just a glass lense in front of the bulb are these. they are quite expensive though.

Yeah, thats all in my kit. And I actually took my wireing upgrade out. You don't need it considering the HID only uses 35watts.

damn it. ok, thats why my high beams must not work then....
here is what i got in my kit:

[3gn86lxi]

AAHHHH, yours is low beam only. Makes sence. It's still very bright, right?

[hondaaccord_86]

yes it is! installed them on saturday and went out that night to show them off. hopefully they can just ship the missing relay and harness to me instead of returning the whole kit for another.:sad2:

[3gn86lxi]

Nope, it's different bulbs. Are you sure you got the bixenon kit? Cause thats the only way you will get hi/low.

[hondaaccord_86]

i'm positive i DID NOT get the bixenon hi/low kit. i recieved just the LOW beam kit. i'm in the progress of emailing them. i've sent them three messages already and they have replied back. hopefully i can get the bulbs exchanged and the relay wires i am missing w/o extra shipping costs. the location they shipped from is near where i live, so i am praying i can just pick it up.

yeah, i noticed that your bulb and the one pictured in their install page are different than mine. ...blaaaahhhhh!!!!

[hondaaccord_86]

this is taken with dim street lights around. it could use some adjusting, outward (left and right). i did adjust so that it shines a little lower than with the Halogen Bulbs.

https://www.csupomona.edu/~eho/IMG_3032.JPG

i am still waiting to get everything exchanged, so i may have to take it out.

=(

[3gn86lxi]

Nice, are you happy with the light output? It is sssooooooo much better than halogen isn't it?

[HondaBoy]

just make sure if your returning the bulbs and ballasts and what not to make it look like you didnt use them at all. make sure the metal parts dont have any tarnishing from heat. thats how you can usually tell the bulb has been used. anyway, those look bright and i might just have to get that once i start working again. people have said not to get the bi-xenon ones, but i think i probley will just go ahead and get them. i'm good with electrical crap so i shouldnt be a problem if they ever do go malfuntion.

I still havn't had any problems with my bixenons hondaboy. Just used them a while ago too.:)

[hondaaccord_86]

i finally met with the seller and exchanged the bulbs and relays i needed. the guy was nice, he gave me extra double sided tape, fuses and zip-ties. i still have to test it out, make sure everything works. anyhow, if anyone is having problems and can't get a hold of the seller, let me know, hopefully i can help.

[3gn86lxi]

Cool. Let us know when you get them in. The high beam is incredible. Did you have to pay a difference because of the Bixenon???

[hondaaccord_86]

no because i paid for the bixenon kit. :D

[ivanfbi]

bixenon is cool, but its fu--ing expensive

[89AccordResto]

Those pics look like they produce a lot of glare to oncoming drivers. If you're going to go HID, it'd be best to get some sort of projector system on your accord.

Yes, a projector system would be ideal........but for $2000 I don't think so.
My setup, with the Autopal h4 housings does NOT produce much glare at all. They have a very nice cutoff pattern, which puts the light where it needs to be.

Um.... that doesn't seem like a very sharp cutoff. :\ Why couldn't you just use those projector lights on ebay with HIDs?

[3gn86lxi]

This is an example of the cutoff lines. __/ __/
It is hard to tell from that pic. Those "projector" housings are not really a projectors, they just kinda throw a blob of light out with HUGE amounts of glare to oncoming drivers.
My driveway is not level, but here you can see the cutoff lines better.

[HondaBoy]

check this out. not that anyone wants to spend about $1000, but this would be my pick. now they are showing it with black housing. i'm probably going to do this when i have the money, but here's what you get in this kit. i really just wanted to show the black housings.

dude, thats really pricey for headlights. but then again i thought $300 for HIDs was a lot to me a few months back ...and i HAVE HIDs now!
that kit looks VERY similar to the one i bought, expect for the projector housings. anyhow, gluck! let us know when you get it and how bright the system is!

[89AccordResto]

That's kinda weird looking. I'd have to see it on a car to make a judgement about it.

has anybody ever made a nice lowrise kit with hid projectors like they have for the mr2's?

'sleepy eyes' on 3g's look kinda silly, because of the trim above the headlight. It was designed to look good upright. On cars that can get away with that (240sx, mr2), the headlight pop up is part of the body.... but our cars aren't like that. :)

i think its mostly the angle of the light's lense itself that makes it look bad on a 3gee. if the lense angle is changed it would probably solve the problem of it looking so akward. anyway, that was an idea i had to do on mine, but i just never got around to it.

Nope. It's the lip on the headlight door. If you'll notice 240sxs and MR2 have no 'trim' on their headlight doors. Ours are made to look good when straight up, and closed. At 45 degrees, regardless of the lense area (since that would be changed if you used projectors), the trim hangs off the doors funny. It would look 'saggy', since the trimw ould be pointing downwards.

oh well, but i had an idea to make a new front piece to kind of house some projector headlight pods and it would be able to be at a different position when opened. either way, i know what i would do to make it look good because i've already tried stuff out on spare headlight buckets.

If you're looking for a HID kit, the guy I got them from is the sales manager for HIDynamic. www.hidynamic.com (http://www.hidynamic.com) So, if you're interested I'll give him a call and get some prices. Their site and ebay store is down for some reason. Anyhow, let me know.

Back from the dead.............................................. ........................................I just bought a kit for my Caddi!! Woo,hoo. Any one else done TRUE HID'S yet. You'll never go back to halogens.
I'll post pics of my shitty lights, then my HID conversion.
I already got new E code housings, much better than OEM, but not that great. SO the only next step is TRUE HID conversion.
Pics to come, more input though...........anybody else pony up yet??

[Cheeseburger]

i want to :(

[mkymonkey]

me too...but the lighting is ok for now...plus i havent really driven the accord at night

[HondaBoy]

i'm still planning on doing some HID's. most likely when i finish my projectors, dunno when thats going to be though.

[hondaaccord_86]

TRUE HIDs as to normal HIDs?:rofl:

[3gn86lxi]

TRUE HIDs as to normal HIDs?:rofl:
Shit I wouldn't waste my time on the fake crap. No, I am talking TRUE HID CONVERSION. The kit I got is a "next generation" one, where the ballast and ignightor are in one unit.
I did the 6000k bulbs for the Caddi, which is the color of the kit I used on my motorcycle. And I got new Ecode headlights on the car too.
I used the Bixenon 8000k kit in the Accord if you remember the first post's in the thread.

IF any of you guys know where I can buy projector pods like those pictured above from, let me know, cus I may be able to make fiberglass/carbon fiber housings for those and make an entire projector headlight kit for 3geez...

Hids....I'll stick with my decent quality Silvania Silverstars....good for the price. If I wasn't a broke ass college student though....you could bet your ass I'd have some!

same here....with my first paycheck i got some silverstarts sure beat the crap out of my OEM ones. i like them but i wished i had some HIDs...i might just do the h4 conversion but stock wires. and yeah college sucks...drains too much money out of my car project.

[HondaBoy]

i had silver stars, but i strait up hated them. looked ayt, but nothing like nokya, raybrig or piaa's. and i was not too happy with the light output. i did see their new ones though, they put more light off it looks like. maybe improved filament design?

[mkymonkey]

man...raybrigs

thats on my list :D

The new ones are good IMO. I had some on my Toyota pickup when the lights first came out, and I thought they were pretty good. Right now though, I like them even better. Right now my lights arent angled 100% correct, but they still work wonderfully, especially since the ones in the car before were crappy no name brand halogens that were almost burnt out. Once I aim them properly though (when I get time) I'll post pics up. I believe they have pretty good light output, and for the price. Can't get raybrigs, nokyas, or piaas for $40.

[HondaBoy]

over the years i've tried many differnet brands an bulb color types on my 3gee. my piaa's have been some of the best. i accidently got water in the housing and didnt mess the bulbs up. so far, my piaa's have lasted the longest out of all the bulbs i've used. i do mostly night driving so my bulbs usually wear out fast. but, i'm not taking HID kit off my list of things to do. i've wanted them since i got the car 4 1/2 years back and still want them. just a matter of time before i get em, but for now performance mods to the engine and whatnot are what i'm doing at this point.

[jonrichert]

i've had a few sets of piaa h4's in my day too. i agree they were the best looking light, but they tended to burn out relatively quickly on me(lasted maybe a year). I've been running a set of ebay bulbs in my bosch housings for the last year and a half and they still work wonderfully.

*honestly get the best damn set of housings you can afford. then run some 10$ ebay bulbs and you'll be a damn happy person.
