Taking the next step in HID's... output pics up

By Gorveatt
- Tue Oct 09, 2007 10:31 pm #25944 Well at the moment i have a 7000k Techone HID kit... and well i loved it at first but now... urg can't stand it.. bad beam pattern can't see in the rain, and worst of all i miss my highbeams :( ... So i have been piecing this together for the past 6 months or so and i FINALLY got most of all the parts, just waiting on one more thing to come in the mail.

Headlights

fitment was almost good enough to leave it be, but i was too far forward... too bad it didn't go back further

LOL no i only have enough room for the OEM headlight adjustment, but horizontal adjustment shouldn't be an issue cause it fits pretty snug in there loland of all the things i found for a shroud... was this

Well just a heads up with a retrofit you can take one of two roads, Bixenon, or single beam. With the single beam you have the option of using projectors such as the S2000's, or TSX those are the two most popular for single beam and both kick royal ass. then for the Bixenon you sacrifice some low beam output, like E55 projectors for example, they have a decent low beam but nothing compared to the TSX or S2000, i'm using RS6 Bixenon's now these are similar to the E55's but the bowl has a less dull finish so i am pretty sure are a little better then the E55's.. But with the E55's and RS6's i hear they have one of the better Highbeams that are available. i have yet to be able to compare them myself cause i don't have them...lol
