Ballin' !

 

Just paid off my F150 last week, waiting on the title to come in this week, might look into getting another ride.

 

Any halogen bulb with blue/purple glass reduces visability (Yes, even the beloved, crappy U.S. Silverstars). Sure, it looks whiter (which is why many people automaticaly think brighter) but try driving when it's raining or on blacktop highway.

 

^Reason I switched to HID

 

i couldnt imagine not having hid's.. driving my work van with stock bulbs at night is not fun forget it when it rains

 

So do you all think i need to get some fog lights too?
Cuz i only have one bulb for hi & low.... so if im driving at night with the brights on and switch to my dim's is it going to go dark before the dim's warm up?

 

No, it's one bulb. After the initial warm up, it'll be at full brightness until you turn it off. This does mean, though, that you won't really be able to flash to pass unless you already had the light on. I mean, it'll still "flash," but the bulb won't be able to get to full brightness to be very much use. Plus, it'd be bad for the bulb.

Just put in some bi-xenon HIDs into my sister's Mustang last week end. Pure awesomeness. She said "I can actually see the deer now."

 

HID's in improper housings are just as bad, IMHO. Poor cutoffs, poor beam pattern & length, hotspots, glare, ballasts problems, durability, etc. Not to mention illegal.


... The reason I run QUALITY halogen bulbs and not some U.S. Silverstar/PIAA/Luminics/Eurolite/etc. "hyper-white"/"super-white" crap blue/purple bulbs.

 

I use my 3 kc lites on my brush guard until i come up on a car and i turn them off and use my stock headlights..... i might as well be turnin my headlights completly off because you cant see jack chit with them....... and for the silver stars they aint worth anythang either , i bought some and turned around and took them back......

 

cool thanks for the info elvato.
