H.I.D Lights - Honda Pilot

traydeezy · 11-18-2005, 03:50 AM

Would anyone be interested in getting a group buy going for some H.I.D Lights?

06EXLN4 · 11-18-2005, 04:49 PM

via which retailer and brand of the HIDs?

traydeezy · 11-19-2005, 05:02 AM

Well, I just wanted to see how many people were interested first. But most likely it would be from xenonfactory.com or xenondepot.com. I have purchased from xenonfactory before in a different group buy. The kits use philips ballasts and bulbs.

guess not enough buyers...

The problem with HID and our housings is that it creates too much glares... The output with the stock bulbs and headlamps are as straight as an arrow, however with HIDs and no retrofit it will all over the place. Get me a ACTUAL picture of someone that has done it. thank you!!!

I have 06 Pilot, which has different headlamp design. It is projector beam, which will focus beam pattern much better than 05 models; which is designed with reflectors. In fact most of the OEM HID's are designed with projector beam to avoid wide spread of beam pattern. Based on this, 06 will definitely have better beam output.

I have hids installed in my 05 pilot, not that much of a glare.
Bought them from xenondepot.com

Did you lose your high beam?

iivtecracerii · 11-22-2005, 02:28 AM

only wallshots can really show if there is glare or not.

and the 06 having projector headlights does not mean putting HIDs in it will not cause glare. they are HALOGEN projectors. you need HID projectors if you want HIDs and no glare.

Traydeezy thank you for those pictures. I saw them when i went on the Xenondepot when I was checking them out. But like iivetcracerii said only wall shots realy show the cut off, if there is any. This is very exciting!!!

2005pilot · 11-22-2005, 02:13 PM

Yes
