![]() i'm always looking for the most cost effective solution (with cost including effort as well as money.) ![]() if i could see the results IRL then i might consider it.Īt the end of the day, it's not super critical. I'm reluctant to fiddle with HID in the current housings. maybe next time i venture south of the 49th parallel. bulbs seem to be hard to come by here in canada. i might try to get some of the racing vision that you mention. i admit that i didn't click through the link. for me yes VisionX products are high cost, however when I factor in family safety, animal safety and significant reduction in driver fatigue they are worth every penny to me.Ok, thanks. In terms of OP question as to worth it and expense. While traveling home from hunting this fall stock lights on gravel road max safe speed 60 km/h with HiD's on, fast as you wanted to go. Third less eye strain night driving, as you know when night driving (least for me) I'm always searching the area just at the limit of the lights (stock or low beams) with these HiD's there is a significant area illuminated out front and to the side which provides for much less eye strain because you can see more features at a greater distance, which provides improved decision making options when encountering animals. Second because of the brightness game and domestic animals have shown a tendency to stand still. First is through seeing animals not only far out in front but also in the ditches and at tree lines on right of ways of highways. These lights have literally saved my life on countless occasions. In terms of lighting up the road in front of you from tree edge to tree edge and as far as you can see down the road these work very well indeed. In the interim (as majority of my driving is rural/remote areas of BC, Canada), I have for distance installed over bumper HID's from VisionX 8500 series (2 X 8.5" 35 watt euro beam) and 6550 series (2 X 6.5" 50 watt euro beam). ![]() ![]() I have considered HID's in clear aftermarket headlight buckets but think the way to go is HID with a projector retrofit (in clear aftermarket buckets) as it will provide a better low beam cut off line for on coming traffic as well as better overall lighting (at least from what I read on here and other sites). This bulb should provide a more consistent HID look, with a better pattern, and much more reliable bulb. It was just more broken up than the Silverstars were.įWIW, there is a brand new Silverstar bulb that just came out that I plan to order soon with the clear headlight lenses. I never got flashed by oncoming traffic with them, so the lense still threw a very nice flat look. While I did think that the HIDs were a little brighter, the light pattern was definitely more broken up. I finally gave up and went back to Silverstar Ultras. Its pathetic having to get our of your rig at night to make sure both headlight are on. I replaced four ballasts in three weeks and never did get them to fire correctly and I was constantly having to cycle my headlights on and off to get them to ignite. I had constant issues with both ballasts. I had one of their kits in my 2000 4runner with the projector lenses. Research some of their reviews when people have issues and it will tell you enough. So, their lifetime warranty doesn't mean squat.
