You'll get better results with oem projectors, the electrics last longer, no glare and sharper cut-off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Man Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 sorry to hijeck this thread but I got a question!! I had after market HID installed and I notice behind the lense there is 2 piece of metal which forms a slit where the HID beam shine through. Can't we make the slit bigger so there is more light beam forward? the slit is only 1.5 cm wide and it sit right behind the lense which I think it blocks of at least 50% of the light the bulb produce.

China I think the smaller piece of metal is there to stop glare for oncoming road users, the other piece is to give you the sharp cut-off. Removing one or both would give you more light but might not be so good for oncoming vehicles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 and the fact it will cost me £0.00 where is your sense of adventure Liam, seeing you work in a body shop - any chance you could get hold of a Honda S2000 headlamp for my project? The wiring you've got on the Range Rover headlamps seem too complicated for you're needs. If you're not going to use the self levelling and turning around corners why don't you get some simple ballasts that are used for the single xenon normal HID lights. They would work fine on yours as they all use the D2S bulb. I got mine from a lexus LS430 and the ballast is very simple with just the pos and neg.

lovatt Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 i tried them in the car today and the light output is amazing, only little niggle is there is a shadow in the middle of the beam, i have worked out that it must be the bar in the back of the supra projector, its the top bar inside the projector i am going to split the lights again and cut this bar out, not a clue why it is in there as the range rover lights only had the bottom cut off, if it all goes wrong i have some spare supra projector lenses anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedroby Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Guys, where do you get these OEM stuff? The junkyard?? I prefer some OEM ones also, cause there is a noticeble difference between aftermarket and OEM stuff. And what price are we talking about?
