illiniboy17 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I have the halo/projector headlights on my grand cherokee with HIDS: 55w 8000k hi/low beams from ddm tuning and i absolutely love them. I had to adjust the projectors quite a bit since they were aimed crazy high but other than that they are terrific. I've had hids in all my cars for over 3 years always bought from ddm tuning and have never had a problem whatsoever. Visibility is amazing and quality is spot on. HIDs are very well worth it in my opinion and you can get a set on ddm for like $60 or less i believe, they have mixed reviews from people but i have had zero problems with them and would recommend them to anyone Car: 1995 Thunderbird System: Pioneer deh5100ub HU Pioneer/Lightning Audio 5x7's 1 Hifonics 1610D amp 2 Obsidian Audio 12's 4cu.ft. box tuned to 30hz 8 farad Boss Audio cap 4 gauge power/ground wire Youtube Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutliff Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Philips DiamondVision 5000K. Period. I run Philips DV 5000K (55W) 9006/HB4's for lows, DV 5000K (65W) 9005/HB3's for highs, & Philips CrystalVision 4000K (27W) 880's for fogs in my 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo SS, & would not run ANYTHING else, ever. (I hate Sylvania, GE, & Wagner for automobile lighting ... just a personal opinion, ... just like I hate Fram air & oil filters, to go along with Autolite plugs.) Needless to say, you cannot go wrong with Philips DiamondVision series ... available for plug-&-play for every application that I am aware of.

kickass audio Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 OP one last thing idr if i mentioned previously or not but make sure you get a relay harness for your hid's. You dont want to risk burning up your stock wiring for the headlights from pulling the high amount of current through the stock wires that are thin and cannot handle the current needed to warm up a HID bulb. My hid's draw 50 amps of current when warming up and once hot they draw 15-20 amps per bulb. The relays are super easy to hook up. Just put the positive wire to your batteries positive terminal and the ground of the relay to your batteries negative then plug in the relay to your stock harness connection and then the relay connects to your hid ballast and you are all set. Super easy and ensures your hid ballasts get delivered the full amount of power needed to operate correctly. 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 55w 8000k hi/low beams from ddm tuning I've had hids in all my cars for over 3 years always bought from ddm tuning and have never had a problem whatsoever. Visibility is amazing and quality is spot on. You bought them over 3 yrs ago, eh? You heard about the lawsuit..right? About how they only had 4 temperatures. The "6000k" and "8000k" bulbs were really 7000k. Thats probably why visibility wasnt absolute shit. Whats the QC code of your bulbs? QC-49? Google it.

Baydestrian Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I've used PIAA Intense White before and they were pretty damn good, lasted exactly 1 year. Switched to the Philips CrystalVision and they are still running fine, will probably go back to PIAA or maybe try the DiamondVision next. Sylvanias are notorious for burning out in 6months or less. My issue is my headlamp housing being so damn fogged over and what not that the light output isn't as good as it can be. 2015 Mazda 6 JVF Customz 4.0 Proto 15>Wolfram W4500 @ .5ohm 2 Sundown Neo 6.5 + 2 CT Meso Tweeters (Front) x Kicker KS6.5 (Rear)>JL Audio VX400/4i NSB-AMG35 (front) / 40ah Lithium Headway (Rear) built by Erni Audio & Electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
