For all you guys out there that bought HID kits, did you guys have to make any adjustments or did everything point correctly? And I'm not talking about the d2s/d2r people. I'm asking about the people who bought those 9006 Hid kits. Did it shine everywhere? or did the beams come out correctly?

 

when i had the 9006 it turned out pretty well

they design the bulb to have the maximum output for your reflector. the 9006 HID kit is designed to fit in any 9006 housing the best that it can.

It's brighter than stock and halogens, but definitely not to par with d2s projector setups.

 

d2r means for reflector....

 

Yeah i know D2R means reflector. Thats what I have is D2R but it shines in every which way. So I'm just wondering about the people who have the 9006 kit and if it beams perfectly.

 

Basically, the 9006 plug and play kit is focused correctly in the housing. Some people have put the d2r's in stock housings and made them work. I have a 9006 kit with 4500k bulbs. I pulled side by side next to an a6 the other night and our light output was basically the same. Width of output, color, brightness. The only thing I was missing is a clean cutoff from the projector. It also helps to do black housings with any hid into the reflector setup to reduce excess reflection. I noticed that after I did my black housings, the light became more focused, and brighter.

 

newbie question about hid thinking about buying this what do u gays think?

and do i need a projectors to install this??

 

10000k light output sucks. You want to stick around 45-5000k. If you want it just to be blue tho, run that.

 

what would be good and do i need a projeactor?

 

nah.. if i were u.. i would not get that McCulloch brand.. those balllasts dont last more than a year.. ** about the warrenty part.. eh.. i heard they went out of business or something.. the company no longer exist** go to hidforum.com and do a search on them.. a friend of mine also got the same brand.. and it only lasted him 5 months before the balllast burnt out on him.. good luck on that..

 

dyme i wish that someone could have told me that.....i just got those...but its cool...it was my fault that i didnt ask you guys....butTT FfUUuUUUuUuuk.o weLL you get what you pay for!

 

I got it last week....aug 25....let me see how long it will last....ill let your guys know....!

 

oh yeah one more thing.....i left it on for 10min or so and my headlamps were very warm, almost hot.....hids are not suppose to be like that right??? im 95% sure that sure not be happening.....

 

krazay.. its all good.. my boy's HID was looking really really nice till it was burnt.. but as long u dont turn on and off more than 3 times in 10 mins.. u should be fine.. (I think thats what he did...) in other word.. when u just turned off ur HID.. at least wait for like 20 mins+ for them to cool down then u turn'em back on.. it'll last ur ballast and bullb life longer.

I'm not sure how warm they should get.. but shouldnt be tooo hot enough it melts ur housing and plastic lens cover. Good luck w'em!

 

thanks for the tip.....i just remembered i think i have a 1year warranty on the ballast and 6 months on the bulbs,....from the date purchase....so it should be fine....

why dont your friend get the replacement....i got mines on ebay....and they gave me an instruction booklet with the warranty...your friend could get a replacement ballast for FREE !!!!!!!

 

sorry obviously a newbie. but are any of these good any input i would really appriciate and save me $$$ buying the wrong kit...

well, he would.. but he said the company is now bankrupted or something not sure.. so his warrenty does not apply.. i have nooooo idea what happened.. guess out of business. *thats wat he said* I have tried to hook him up with some OEM HIDs, but dont think hes interested. TOO BAD FOR HIM =)

 

i would personally get the first one the philips...if i had money to get them....

97black22 i though you already had a set of ballasts and d2s bulbs? just modify the bulbs to allow them to fit further inside so that the focal point matches up with the 9006 reflector. messin around with a set of bulbs worth $60 is much better then buying a kit.

 

I do have a D2S setup.. i started this thread like 4 months ago.. all i need right now is projectors. Have you been getting any?

 

i do have a set of audi but they are back in nj. the only catch is that they are both missing the damn bulb retainers. im not sure how much they cost from audi.
