HID Options?

85b · Dec 13, 2013

So 5k 55 if i just want pure white. I did all led's in my b2. Only thing I had a problem with was turn signals. I had to put in a clay load resistor in my tailights for them to work normal again. I just gotta get behind my dash and put leds in, only thing missing them ha. I put in a 5" tach on the left side of my instrument panel, where oil press. volts, gas gauge and temp would go. 2 of the gauges didnt work anyway and now the things way bright. Need to brighten up my speedo

Use this chart for color its pretty accurate 5k is white depending on 35w to 55w, use the bulb color/ type tab. 6k is where the color starts changing it has a slightly blue tint.

You can remover the resistor with a set of electronic relays http://bit.ly/1c2iNTq
Yes 5k either 35 or 55. Its just 55 will be brighter and whiter. Also did you do those reverse hids, if so what brand....

It was just a another another h4 kit I bought off a friend after he got new ones. So it was just an ebay brand. I'm having a problem with melting the black tailight housing itself, but i use them as a spotlight to hook on and tow out people and always leave them on because i forget. I just used epoxy and silicone to get them in honestly. But I love them

How different are your housings compared to a ranger housing?

Oem is a sealed halogen. These allow for an h4 i beleive to be screwed, locked, etc in to the housing.

H4 as in that secondary bulb that was mentioned in the previous posts? Kind of like daytime lights?

85b · Dec 15, 2013

No, for the housings the H4 is the primary hi/low bulb. All 7x6 housings besides the sealed beams take an H4, or most that I've seen. In my headlights, it also takes a 194. Ill try to get some pictures in the daylight tommorow.

HID Options?

Are HIDs worth the investment?

Yes, but don't buy the Ebay ones. Buy a well known brand.

Yes

No
