I have the PIAA H4 Super Plasma GT-X. i was wondering what kind is everyone else using and if there is a brighter or better one out there.
 
never not once, but the cars that i have hid in japan they do come stock with hid so i wonder if i could use that for a excuse if i ever do lol. but ive been behind and in front of city county and state and never had a problem
 
I'm guessing it's all about the angle the lights are pointed at. What car/s do you have it in? I'd like to do an HID conversion one of these days, my headlights are kinda dull. New bulbs might help though too :dunno: any other ideas?
 
i just have them in my rsx, but if you do go the hid route the best thing to do is a retro fit or the budget way, thats what i did lol, just get some new headlight that are clear then get some new bulbs or hid. the clear headlights will help a lot
 
Any headlights you'd suggest that don't look too ricey? I was thinking about doing it the way that awptickes did it.
 
i just use sylvania silverstars in my cars.... they have a nice clean white look, almost hid, and they actually make good light on the road. all of the other "superwhite" and other nonsense blue bulbs really suck from what i have seen.
 
D2S bulbs, mounted in some bi-xenon projectors.

Yes, austin, it makes a huge difference.

Chaz: It's because of all of the "HID Kits" people put in, and don't make the needed modifications. HID bulbs need HID specific reflectors, or HID projectors; they won't work in halogen bulb reflectors.
 
No i know hid's make a diffrence i was saying what diffrence does it make if they car came with it or not from a police standard

:werd: Not necessarily "don't work", but rather the stock reflectors scatter light making it dangerous for people driving the opposite direction(a lot of glare). If you ever notice, proper HID setups have a very sharp cutoff. For fitting HID's in your car, retrofits are the way to go.

I'm running Silverstars, works great for me. :) I want to switch to HID's but the stock lens prevent me from doing so(they have cuts in them to help scatter light).
