you say 6k is whiter yes, this is true. but dont be mistaken, 4.5k is still brighter, but the lack of the blue color (aka "white") makes you think its dimmer. the 4.5K will perform better in fog too because of the lack of blue light.

not true.. it may seem brighter but in truth the bmw cars have 4300 K which has the most lumens

HELP
I'm sorry i'm new, do you recommend me to install a HID conversion kit on normal headlights?????? i have these JDM halo headlights for the nissan 200sx.......what if i buy HID conversion kit for the H3 bulbs???? what difference would it make????

LIUSPEED · Sep 27th, 2006, 09:41 AM

chumit the hid conversion for the h3 bulb would be a waste of your money.

i say do the retrofit with a projector and spend a little extra money for better output and better performance.

the difference would be a huge difference.

here are my night shots.

the single projector cut off like is the pic above this is a Huge difference compared to slapping a H3 HID kit into the housing.

chumit · Sep 28th, 2006, 10:19 AM

ok I saw your cardomain project. What exactly is a retrofit??? and how did you do it to fit the whole projectors in the headlights???? did you cut open the headlights. I wanted to see if you had any specific pictures of the job you did to the headlights to make it fit the projectors. So i saw you placed some valeos projectors but....do you need to use also shrouds or something like that ???????????? what are they for??? The valeos seem to ocupy alot of space :S please tell me because I am interested in converting mine too.
Thanks!

chumit,

you had to open the headlights and cut open the space and jb weld it etc etc etc..
it an extensive project.

if you have messenger of any sort let me know and ill try to explain more.

Hi I'm new to the forum - I just purchased a pair of TSX projectors off of Ebay however they were not exactly identical but extremely similar in shape and size. In one of them, the cut-off sheild is removable and the other is not. The other difference is that one has a clear lense and the other has a somewhat of ribbed lense. My question is when I do my retro-fit will I actually see a difference between them?
