what are good bright bulbs besides HID?


Recommended Posts

I've heard HID's have less visibility in rain than regular bulbs, have you guys experienced this?

Its harder to see in rain with any bulb. If it truly is harder to see in the rain with HIDS, Im sure the difference is neglegible.

LOL no.

When I sold cars and I'd need to drive off-lot at night or in the rain I always took a MKX or Navi with HIDs. Rain sucks for any headlights tho.

Damn, I may need to keep that in mind. My headlights are really faint and I've only had them for like a year. I wanna get HIDs, but I think they'd look weird on a Jeep Cherokee haha

it's hard to tell with regular reflectors. What most people associate with HIDs are projector beam assemblies. Those are quite different from HID source lamps.

You know, SLAYER, you may have a point... I can see on some assemblies being designed for the exact position of a filiment of an incandescent bulb not reflecting as well with a wide source like HIDs, after installing them in regular reflectors. But in vehicles with stock HIDs vs same vehicle with out, the difference is amazing even in the rain.

I've seen projector style housings before for Cherokees, they look kinda strange with nothing but a projector in them, but ehh I'm kinda debating now on whether to get them, I just looked them up I'm getting kinda fond of the look now

I think that was the case for the people who told me they had poor visibility in the rain, I think they just got the bulbs and put them in the stock housings, most people in my town just get them for the looks but don't install them correctly

The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart

You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.
