04redmach1 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I found a place that actually responds to question and they have a good deal to offer. Right now we are at $58 a set but the more the cheaper. 2 year warranty. www.hidextra.com If anyone wants to get in on this let me know, I will order within a week or 2 at most.

No link provided. What color are people recommending - I think 600K ???? Is the supplier sure the fog lights will be plug and play? There is a special connector on them? Are we sure we will not get a warning light about a bulb out when using the lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04redmach1 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 http://www.carstereoforum.net/showthread.php?t=2325 There ya go. Says plug and play, but to be safe sign up and ask your questions direct to be safe ya know. I am going to do 5K or 6K to keep it clear and best visability. 3K for fogs, don't want to go any higher with them because of the heat in a small place.

Burn Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Let me know if you guys get a set and take pics! I will be ordering mine next week and I will take pics! i ordered low beam set ( 9006 ) .. i don't know about the high beam .. because they have the DRL on it so it will cause some problems for sure. .. ill see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 i ordered low beam set ( 9006 ) .. i don't know about the high beam .. because they have the DRL on it so it will causesome problems for sure. .. ill see I am curious about the light's response time. For low beams, they are always on (as well as the fog lights). For high beams, these require quick action. How quickly do the lights come up to full brightness?

04redmach1 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Not sure honestly, I have no did it yet so not sure. I am probably going to do a retro fit myself with the projectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 this is the response from HIDExtra.com about my high beam DRL problem : HID are not meant for DRL since it the wattage cannot be altered, some people use relay to keep the DRL working, but it is by each car,you will just have to try it. We usually recommened disabling the DRL and just turning them on manually. Let me know what you decide. Thanks~ Michelle well now , HID conversion for my high beam is a big no no. In Canada it's illegal to modify / temper with the DRL system ... ill stick with the low beam HID kit only and put some brighter Xenon aftermarket bulbs for the high beam ....

crunkfrunk Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 HIDs take about 30 seconds to get to full intensity but they also do not like to be flashed on and off, so they are not good for high beams putting them in your high beams will burn out the ignitor in the balast pretty quick, basically it has to take 12 volts and turn it into about 27,000 volts to ignite the xenon in the bulb, also called a burner cus technically the gas is burning but just not reacting with oxygen if anyone remembers their chemistry you will also want to get a relay harness, that actually might take away the need for a stabilizer, this way the headlight connector only supplies a signal to a relay to pull power from the battery to get more power to the balasts and make them last longer another issue is HIDs have a different beam pattern so you will no longer have that perfect flat line cuttoff unless you put some projectors in (BMW/Acura style) just my 2 cents for the lowbeams I like a nice white/blue color so say 6000K or 8000K (K is Kelvin not thousand) those provide great visibility in normal driving conditions, and maybe 4000K for the fogs beacuse that will help you see better in rain and snow beacuse it is more of a yellow color one other thing to watch out for when putting the HIDs in the fogs is when you turn your high beams with the fogs on the fogs will be turned offf because it is illegal to drive with more than 4 bulbs on at one time I have done tons of HID kits so I will try to be around more to answer and questions you guys might have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunkfrunk Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 You know I never looked at the 2 side by side, you would think 6000K would be more annoying, maybe just depends on the kit, I see that some look just fine in reflector housings but some are extremely bright, you never know thanks I'm really looking forward sto seeing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't torn into the Journey yet but I like to just take out the entire housing when I put bulbs in that way I know they are in properly, maybe a bolt or 2, or maybe a center locking clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoped for another way .... well.. since it will take a while to get my set. in the meantime i decided to build myself a relay harness... it's true , the headlights wires are too small for my taste and i don't want to toast anything...

All you have to do is move the main electrical/fuse assembly. 4 clamps (push them in as you pull up) and you can move it enough to reach the drivers side bulbs. don't have to do anything alse.
