DJcouple Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hey everyone... The Wifey and I figured we would stop by and say HELLO! Grabbed a 2014 Dodge Journey Limited AWD... Really excited! First all wheel drive car, first S.U.V, first newer car, first with almost every option! Loving it so far... Just in time for ANOTHER MT winter also... First item up, going to order some replacement factory headlamps so I can retrofit some projectors and an HID kit from the retrofit source, gotta get some more light out in front of the journey! Anyway we just wanted to say hello! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobitz68 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Welcome... What are you thinking about throwing in the headlights? Despite the way it looks, there is not a ton of room in there... DJcouple and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Welcome to the forum. I put halo/projectors in my Nitro, but could never get used to the weird cut off and blue tint at the top. I took it to my Dealer's Body Shop to have them aim them. Didn't do much to solve the problem. I'm keeping the stock housings and may change to a whiter bulb.

The cutoof and blue colr along the top can't be aimed out... The blue line is caused by the shield inside the projector. Interestingly enough, that is the look most people are after when they put blue or purple HIDs in their vehicles. They mistake the flicker of color for the light being blue, when in fact the light is usually a shade of white. dhh3, jkeaton and DJcouple 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Now I know! Thank you. I'll just look for some improved bulbs. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJcouple Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hey guys, @Lobitz68 Thinking about the Morimoto H1 kit with the full size Gattling Gun shrouds.... That head lamp spot for the low beams looks/looked huge! Will have to take a look at it again and get some measurements when the extra set comes in to be sure it will all fit.. I assumed, and we all know what happens when you assume LOL... Going with the XB 6500K 35w HID kit, with the canbus adapter of course... Lots of poorly lit roads around here... Need the nice wider beam and brighter lights... Don't want the really blue lights(or any HID color lights) just not my thing... Probably some Diode Dynamics LED bulbs... Cant remember the part number but they are around 120 bucks **sigh**.. Just something to match the headlamps and get rid of the damn yellow, since most people say our fogs suck anyway from what I have read...

Just something to match the headlamps and get rid of the damn yellow, since most people say our fogs suck anyway from what I have read... The bowls are plenty big, just not as deep as they look. I have Mini H1 6.0's and they fit fine. The 7.0 that is out now is supposed to be the same size, just with a longer threaded shaft, so it should fit just fine. The 7.0 looks like a lot nicer unit too. If you are going to spend that kind of money on fogs, I would suggest the Morimoto XB (type M) LED fogs, they are Dodge specific and fit the factory fog mounts on the Journey. https://www.theretrofitsource.com/complete-headlight-fog-light-housings/morimoto-xb-led-fog-lights-dodge.html#.VmGbKLgrKCg jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
