I know that the 900x fit kits are outlawed here in the states, and that the best way to go is to retrofit some projectors in, but i was wondering what is (if there is) the difference between the phillips hid kit and the phillips stage 2 kit? Basically what is this stage 2 stuff and is it worth an extra $100+.

Thanks!

 

hmm...If i can remember correctly, the stage I hid's output a 4100k-4300k rating while the stage II outputs at a 6000k rating. Mainly, color..The stage II is going to seem brighter and more blue, while the stage I will seem more white.

 

gotcha, so fundamentally its just a marketing ploy, since most of the big names in the HID game, Osram, Hella, etc. say that anything over the 4k range really doesn't do much for you.

thanks for the info!

i like the audi HID purple...man thats hot

 

yeah, audi's have the sickest hid's by far IMO.
go for that purple look!

 

dont get like 4000k-5000k i pull up to them and they look yellow...

 

my finanacial aid check for school comes in soon, god i love being this age and in school the gov gives me soo much money. once i get my bills paid and what not I'm going to get the audi setup.

 

6000k looks yellow to mine... and r0dx
8000k is the way to go..

 

heres some audi tt's (4100k)for ya. kits cant touch this for shieeet!






also anything over 4300k is just for looks and light output becomes worse. especially in the rain.

 

mmmm..that what i want...

 

Say VXCL, u still doin the setups for people? How much would a setup like yours run me?

 

acutally yeah, what are you charging for the hardware...i'll do my own mounting (its an experience i'll take)

 

6000k and under might look yellow to you, but we can see more at night. :P

 

man i am just racking up the psots on this one.

i want the best for the money, best look and visibility, i live in the middle of no where Idaho and well I've hit three deer since i was 15 (that's about 1 every 3 years) and there is numerous other wildlife on teh roads at night; so i want the best for seeing at night, and what looks good.

 

If you are aiming for the best output and usable light, then you need to stick with 4100k. Basically if you get a projector setup on your car, I believe the 4100k rating is refered to as 4300k(sometimes). IMO, it's the projectors that give the audi, bmw, benz, etc. their color, but so far all car manuf. only put out 4100k bulbs.

 

projectors, ballasts, bulbs $420 SHIPPED (upper 48)

i dont usually have extra bulbs
so projectors and ballasts $370 SHIPPED (upper 48)

maybe less, depends on how u pay and what projectors you choose. ex. audi tt, s2000, are hard to get. and then there's bi-xenons.

 

VXCL, have you tried to get BMW's Angel Eyes to fit in our headlight assembly?
Here's a shot of some angel eyes on an Accord.
Are you willing to build some?

Also, has anyone tried modding the rest of the lights? I want to make my corner parking lights my turn signals, and the actual turn signal the parking light. Has anyone tried this yet?

Thanks
Tom

 

how much would it cost to get an s2000 projector in my cl housing? is this hard to do? is this what you guys call 'RETROFIT'? i would like to get HIDS but i want it to look and shine nice, i want my HIDS to shine exactly like on the s2000, when i look at an s2000 driving behind me, the light seems to flicker different colors and it looks awesome! does anyone know what HID kit the s2000 comes with? and is it 4100k or what???

 

yea the s2000 hid kit is hot...from far away its purple n when its kind of close its blueish white

 

the s2000 seems to flicker cuz the suspension is nice and tight so it moves up and down real quick. my car does the same. cept now i got bi-xenons. heh

 

u r charging that much for a conversion per headlight??

 

can one of you sell me a pair of modded cl headlights with the audi tt or s2000 projectors already mounted inside? i dont feel like doing this myself, seems complicated...

 

thats just for the parts!

also i have no extra headlamps laying around. i destroyed my old ones trying to figure out how to mount the bi-xenons in my new headlamps. u would have to buy 2 new headlamps which is almost $500 or send me yours.
