Beanz Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 Okay so I want to get some new lights for my Cadillac. But would I'm not sure if I should go with the stock Phillips d1s lights just brand new or get a Aftermarket d1s ballast and bulb from somewhere else.. Any pros and cons from that? That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

philrab Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 If you can spend the money, OEM Phillips is hard to beat for quality. I guess the question is, are you just looking to replace what's burnt out, or looking to change for some reason? Or is cost the primary concern? 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.

Beanz Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Posted April 2, 2014 More of the light is loosing output the bulbs are over 6 years and there not as bright as other lights I see and it'll be the same vehicle That's why they don't deliver.

Beanz Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Posted April 2, 2014 And cost well I can get em off Amazon for about 120 for both and Aftermarket I'm looking at around the same if not a bit more from the retro fit source That's why they don't deliver.

xxgokouxx Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 Philips are good bulbs, can't go wrong there. Toshiba's I heard make great bulbs also (they're for OEM apps). I use Garax bulbs (Japanese-made).
alaskanzx5 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 Are you taking about a complete hid kit replacement? Like ballast and bulbs? Everything? Or just bulbs? imo if bulbs just don't seem as bright replace them with OEM. there is a chance that the brighter lights you are seeing are because of a higher wattage ballast or nice projectors. Could just be a trick of your eye, not seeing it how it really is for some reason. I don't know much about hids specially on your car but that's just what I think would be the better approach. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
xxgokouxx Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 You make a great point Alaskan, but at the same time, HIDs should lose their gas properties after years, especially 6. I'd say his bulbs should roll over in a few more months anyways. I've never seen bulbs go that long, let alone Phillips bulbs LOL! Something like this, I'd say visit the HID retrofit forums for more info. GL!
Popwarhomie Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 OEM is always the way to go. These are the shit! http://www.theretrofitsource.com/d1s-osram-xenarc-66144-cbi-48712.html#.U0Gp-1yFXHg If you don't want to spend a lot I would recommend Morimoto. 2010 Focus coupe- 8 12" wall. 157.5@46hz 2016 Focus ST - SQ build.
