got my kit int he mail today. Took me 30min to install. Here are some pics to show how much this kit kicks ___!


This is NOT HID/STOCK!! This first pic is with 1 stock bulb and 1 colored replacement bulb. Both were equally dull.



This is with the 5000k's



This is the view of my car when its parked out front, at night. with the "stock" bulbs.



This is my car with its new 5000k HID kit



This is the night view with the kit in.

 

looks nice, the new headlights allow the HIDs to focus really well good stuff!

 

looks clean

 

have the same 5K kit from them -- great stuff
and the added light is amazing compared to stock

did you have to realign/readjust your headlights' aim after you installed them? i did so just a bit ( ~ 1/2" lower)

 

MOBILE HID to the top.. i got 6k in my anzo projectors..and the look awesome... definitely worth the money and were easy to install...i'd recommend Mobile HID to anyone.. oh and i HID'd my friends camry with a 6k kit as well...looks like a acura TL now..

 

niiice. i got the 5000k too. love it

 

I know I should get the 4300K but I'm wondering if the 200 lumens loss is that noticable? The 5000K kits I've seen look great as well, even though I know there's more light output from the 4300K. More light, or that slight tint of blue? Hmmm...
Any comparisons side by side of both kits, same car, same setting?

 

Welcome to the MobileHID 5000k club! (ive got them too )

 

i'd go with 5000k again, 4300k has a warm white look to it. You wont notice the difference in light output, its still amazing

 

i love mobilehids .. they have great hids and the customer service to go with it

 

yup welcome to the HID club mang.. i had a techone kit before but not i have the mobile hid kit and i love em..

 

I'm sure in comparison to the stock lights either is a marked improvement, however I want to compare one to the other. The 200 lumens loss, not sure if that's perceptible or not. What I do know for sure is the "warm" will be better in bad weather situations. Hence why fogs are in the 3000K range.
In the end I'll probably stick to science over aesthetics and get the 4300K but I'd really love to see a side by side comparison...

 

no i did not adjust my projectors at all.. they seem perfect as is.

 

I read somewhere that its not really the color but the location of the fog lights. I'll try to find it

 

:D
I have read that the yellow is better in bad weather. Cannot find that either just now. :?

 

i havent been able to find a credible source, yet...

 

Just to let you guys know your left Headlight when looking out of the car from the drive seat should actually be about 3-4 inches lower than your right when dealing with HID lights.

They are so bright that it will blind on coming cars. My mazda has them from the factory and the left light is lower and i checked out my friends Chrysler 300 and his left light as well is lower about 3-4 inches. You need a wall in front of you to adjust them though probably about 3 feet away from the car so you can check it. But that is what i have noticed on factory installed HID Lights.

 

Yeah, they should be along the lines of something like these (Googled the images):





This is also the reason why you should be careful about buying Japanese headlight casings, because sometimes they can be curved so as to focus the beam higher on the left side (our driver side, their passenger side). That would be pretty bad for other drivers over here

 

It's a combo of the factors apparently but weighs more heavily towards the lighting than the position:

Excerpt:
Fog lights
First of all, fog lights works best in fog or low visibility, with headlamps turned off and at speeds below ~70km/h (equals to 50mph). They lit up the road relatively close (30meters) to the car, spreading from far left, to far right, at relatively low max. brightness. By having a low cutoff, and a low mounting point, glare from the fog will not be reflected back to the drivers eyes, which typically headlamps do. Authorities requirements for fog lights are very general, so be ready to see a lot of variations out there. There is many OEM applications where you are not able to turn fog lamps on without having headlamps on. This is what I would call cosmetic fogligths.

Most people don't need fog lights because it very seldom fog appears unless you are close to the ocean or great lakes. But hey, it looks cool, nicely inserted underneath the bumper. From time to time, car magazines and car shows presentes several cars that have replaced headlamps with fog lamps. This is not a good solution. Its dangerous at highway speeds. A typical fog lamp doesn't have the enough brightness down the road. Some HID fog lights have shown up on the marked around year 2000. Nothing wrong with using HID, but its a waste of money. HID usually means brighter output, and that is defiantly something you do not want in fog light. A too bright fog lamp used in fog will only lit up the fog better, increasing the "wall" effect of fog, and make the road less visible. I would suggest to usage of a 10 or 18W HID system instead. They are available in flash lights for divers. See: http://www.extreme-exposure.com/. In comparison to well known D2* HID lamps, these lower power HID lamps is still in the stone age. They take a few minutes to start up, they are very costly.

I looked up a few more things, harkening back to gradeschool days lol, and visible light spectrums will also put things in perspective. I'm glad I did this once again, I had done it eons ago, I'm back on the 4300K for certain, just can't argue with the science; folks much, much smarter than I have figured this stuff out...

 

That's what i'm talking about. Nice Find Pengu
