somerandomguy Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Posted April 16, 2010 My Buick Rainier has HID lights in the fogs. But the headlights are normal halogen lights. Why would you do that? Or you mean it's like that stock? Are you sure that the fogs just aren't halogens in projector lenses? Also, I don't see how this has anything to do with my question, but whatever rofl Quote
R_Mac_1 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Posted April 16, 2010 They certainly look like HIDs. They have that rainbow cutoff when they're shining on a building, but I guess that could be a product of the projector and not the bulb. They came stock like that. I guess you're probably right about them being halogens with a projector. As far as why it pertains to the question; I thought you were asking about HID lights coming stock on cars in places other than the headlights.

Still don't think they are LEDs, unless I am looking at the wrong kind of LEDs.. they aren't ALL that bright...or blue. Maybe if they are like 5000 LEDs in there, but I doubt it. Quote
Stephen Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 I hate it when people complain about hids not being in projectors. Yes, it's annoying... but not THAT annoying.. there are always people who like to aim their headlights all wrong and one is facing toward the sky and the other is off facing toward the bottom of the car next to them.. which is 100x more annoying that non-projector hids. its the glare. And only thing i think of when i see that is someone shops on ebay. I anyone who buys over 4500k is not doing it to see better they are doing it for looks. Why would you want everything lit up blue? not fooling anybody when you see a big blue glare coming down the road and the lights are not changing color at all. Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

(at least with 6k-8k) Quote
kl0wn Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) look awesome and light everything up 10000x moar than halogens? (at least with 6k-8k) When the light changes to the blue color, you lose quit a bit of performance. My Xenon (Recon Diamond White) fogs light up quit a bit more of the road than my buddies HID headlights that are 6000k on 33w Ballast IIRC.

Yes, I know that.. but still 10000x better than halogens not as good as 4300k but, 4300k don't look all that awesome Quote
