Supra ST Myster Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Installed some HIDs for full beams, so for people who were thinking about it I thought Id say that yes they do flash briefly at full brightness if you want to flash someone to give way ect... then they dip and then get brighter again if you hold the handle back. Will do some pics and a vid tonight if anyone wants to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I was looking at high beam HID's but already have HID low beam and fogs, so running out of room for ballast box's. Does anyone do a ballast box to run 3 lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 When you say they flash, do you mean they flash from off to on, or they flash from on to high? i hope you can understand that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 they flash from a off state to full beam, but if you hold back the handle, they will then dip and get brighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 thats what i thought, i wanted to put HID's in my full beam but was told that I couldn't do it because it would mean switching the light on an off, was told switching the HID lamp on and off repeatedly drastically shortens its life, thats why OE manufacturers use a solenoid driven flap to block the light while your on dipped and then lower the flap to allow the light through when your on full beam instead of switching it on and off.

hiten55 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 is it worth having hid fogs? im guessing it is but was told its not road legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 why would it be not be legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 thats what i was thinking. maybe im getting it confused with something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I've got the full set and it's passed MOT twice like it. Ballasts are scattered all round the bumper area, wherever there was a gap to bolt in to...but they are all hidden away. Running all three sets of lights down country lanes at night is awesome - like daytime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
