10000 hid illegal?

[b4ceen]

hey, just curious as to finding out if 10,000k hid bulbs are illegal because of thier "blueness"

i read some stuff from the highway traffic act, and it says that havind red, blue or green BLINKING or FLASHING lights are illegal..but it doesnt mention anything about the actual headlight.

Any thoughts?

also just curious if anyone has any pics of them swapping out thier OEM 4300k hids for different color ranges...post some pics to i know which one i might wanna get!

10,000K HID? i'd be more concern with the light output you will get.

[EX ITR]

A friend's Corolla GTS got pullover for headlamps too bright(6000k) and got tickets for that and exhaust.

werd.
u prob have like no output.....

[TorTSX]

6000K? There are a lot of cars with stock HID with 6000K bulb. It should be at least 8000K for a ticket, shouldn't it?

[Cypher]

Yes they are illegal. And very noticeable. Your going to have a pure blue beam. The most I would go with is 6000K. Philips has those Ultinon bulbs.

Here is a picture of what 10000K looks like.

Cheers!

[b4ceen]

thanks for all the input guys, i dont think i will do it then if its going to get me into any trouble.

[shitbox]

i think the philips 6000k bulbs would be awesome on the tsx projector, although i have never seen it in real person yet.

[VorteC]

wow that is very blue!... i've seen some mercedes' with blue hid's.. whats the rating of those?

[WhiteTsx001]

I might be getting some DRL 6000k conversion kit soon lol.. waiting on PCDAWG lol.... so if I get it ill post some pics...

[kyotousa]

is 10,000 still blue? I thought it's gonna be Purple or Red...isn't that the end of spectrum?

[lcrazyaznl]

The project will make it blue i have a friend that has an evo mr with 10k bulbs. My tsx has more range than his lights but his lights a blue as hell. Looks cool he doesnt need the sight range.

Phil! you are getting DRL conversion? how much is it?

[pcdawg]

INterested ian?

The kit is around $230 cdn with 1 year warranty (full replacement within toronto) the bigger the GB the cheaper it is. Right now we might have 3 ppl so the price drops to 220.
They have from 4300-5000k-6000k 8000k and 10000k.

[TSXDude]

Phil, do they have H4? I might be interested

[pcdawg]

TSXdude...yah they have everything....

[WhiteTsx001]

Come on guys lets do it... ill discuss the prices with them lol.. --> :sadwavey: sales man

[TSXDude]

Put me on the list for H4. Preferably with the Hi/Low feature

[WhiteTsx001]

Put me on the list for H4. Preferably with the Hi/Low feature

What I know from reading, only the H4 has dual bi xeon anyways so ill help ask for you and give pm you the price ;)

What intensity you want 6000k or 5000k?

[TSXDude]

5000k is good, thanks!

[pcdawg]

Cool...price will drop even lower! Any other torontians interested??

[ians]

I am interested on the fog(H11 I think), so will it fit? BTW, wasn't every car will cut down the voltage for DRL so if convert it to xenon, will it also dim the output?

[pcdawg]

^

Yes as long as u get the proper bulb type it will fit. As for the hid h1. its only single beam so u lose the high beam feature, but when u flash it will still be bright. The output for drl hid will remain constant. HIDs use very little power anyhow.

He swap out sealed beam for clear housing plus hid. Btw which car have better light output, IS300 or TSX?

[pcdawg]

I believe the TSX has better projectors. I remember reading somewhere where they had a top 5 list and 3 of them were lexus, the TSX was either 2nd or 3rd in terms of projection.

[chuson]

Hey, what do I miss out here???

Are you guys gonna convert the Ugly DRL to HID or something??? or change that to Projector too?? Confused.

[Cypher]

Most likely TSX. IS300 dont use projectors. :)

[TorTSX]

yup, they did not use projectors in 300, they only changed it in the new 2nd generation of IS . I like the TSX more than the IS300

[WhiteTsx001]

Ya waiting on Pcdawgs slow sources hahaha.. I think I will be the first to try them lol..

[chuson]

How much is it for the HID + Installation? and what's the benefit other than white HID DRL???

[WhiteTsx001]

Dunno how much to installl haha.. and kit hmm you need to ask pcdawg since its his hook up... and hmm benefits.. it looks better HAHAHA...

[EX ITR]

Paid $40 to put hid on my last car. I just want to know if there will be any side effects with hid on drl, cause someone on this site mentioned that low wattage of the drl will cause problems to the ballast and flickering of the lights. Want to make sure before I buy the kit.

[pcdawg]

The DRLs run the same wattage as the hid kit 35W. Should be no problem as all for the tsx as one of the partner owns a TSX as well.
