audioman21 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I want to get some HID's for my 88 Eldorado. I was reading up about them and everyone says they should be done correctly with the projector retro fit and cut-offs. The thing is, is my car has those older style square headlights unlike the newer clear lense ones. I know they will work and all but my concern is will they be ok as far as on coming traffic since the lenses aren't clear and kinda limit the "hot spots"?

CleanSierra Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Something like this should work just fine. You don't need clear lenses for HID's to be bright. However if they are crazy oxidized, I'd suggest buffing them out or getting some of that headlight restore crap. Its a kit that includes and abrasive and a polish. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_37617_Race-Sport-Accessories-9005-10000K-HID-Bulbs.html Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.

audioman21 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 their not oxidized like the clear lenses get but they have that foggy-ish look that cars from the 80's have. Thats the best I can describe those kind of lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I KNOW he isn't talking about clear lights. My 90 Chevy full-size had non clear headlights and I used to sand them and buff them to get back to as bright as they came stock. You have to get all the edges where light comes in and it brightens them up a bunch. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

audioman21 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 The lights are fine. I just wanted to know if they wouldn't blind oncoming traffic because they are not clear. I'm worried about not blinding people. A lot of people just buy HID kits and throw them on. The correct way is to buy that projector kit they have that puts all your light on the road. I just need to know if an HID kit will be ok for me since they don't make clear lenses and the projectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
