k3n12ock Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 So I plan on getting some HID's for my car. I worry that since my voltage isn't the best, when the bass drops, it'll probably cause headlight flicker. Now, with hids, I'm sure they tend to draw in more current (not sure though) so would head light flicker mess up the ballist/bulbs? 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2
raytard Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 itll be fine and hid's draw about the same as normal bulbs (35-55 watts) Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC

coobies5 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 hid's shouldnt flicker at all, unless they are flea market shit. get reputable hid's and you'll be fine. (2) 12" Xcon's/ 18" btl/saz3000d /pioneer deh-p5100ub/RF T1652-s/sax 125.2
Guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 my HID's draw less power than the regular bulbs. i remember i used to get HELLA voltage drop from stock bulbs, now its like .2v drop on idle with stock alternator. even when im beating and voltage drops to like 13v, my dash lights dim a little but my headlights stay the same.
bassprodigy Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 my regular bulbs dimmed a little on heavy hits, and my h.i.d.s dont dim at all.... its really nice, cause theyre 10x brighter and stay brighter no matter how loud i beat........ 2003 Toyota Sequoia Pioneer 4100dvd Memphis PR6.5 3ways in all four doors Memphis PR 15s (4) Memphis PR 1.1000 (2) Memphis PR 4.50 (1) Optima Yellowtop (2) Viper 5901 8000k H.I.D. kit 15% tint (2layers)
kmalinich Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 It's the ballast that saves them.. they accept a wider voltage range than a typical bulb with the output staying the same...
