Hid In Kexx Who Has Done It?

[ae824ate]

Gday guys, my 35W 6000K HID kit will be in my '55 in a few days. Wanted 4300 or 5000k. Just curious, and yes i did search, how many people have done a HID setup before on their rolla, and how satisfied were you? Yeah yeah, i know its illegal to do it on a car that wasn't manufactured with it, but i drive mostly early morning and late night in the country. 2 of my mates have done HID setups, and never been hassled by the cops. Let us know. Thanks, Luke.

from what i hear in qld, apparently without factory self leveling suspension it is illegal, will defiantly be better than the standard lights if you fit them, your call..

2nd that. While m u c h better than std lights, a guy I worked with fitted HID lights to his import Supra and, it was defected less than 1 month later. Back to std lights for him.

Bummer though. Looked great and they lit up a like a power station.

Yup.... Illegal, for a reason, and I hope you get defected.

Yep they are illegal,

 

I did think about HID for my little old bomb, but then I do not want the hassle from the :fuzz: and or even a defect (Maybe I’m getting older). Just buy some descent replacement lights that’s what I did.

 

All the best.

I'm also keen for details if anyone has done this conversion, price, cost and availability. Are they also avaliable in the ke5x square light form? I've been told autobarn can order them in?

 

yes, it will bring more attention from the 5.0 but thats my choice.

Valid point...

 

Just try not to get offended when I see your HID's coming towards me and respond by firing a couple of Hella Ralleye 4000's directly into your retinas.

 

 

Cos y'know being an inconsiderate c*nt is also my choice.

I hate HIDs!!! there so annoying when coming towards you!!

I think ill have to get some of those spot lights too. I have some brighter bulbs and they are better than the old ones, then just get some spot lights if you want heaps more lighting where ever you go!

HID's in 4WD's behind you stopped at the lights, feels like you are getting sunburned and totally destroys your night vision.

H4's are fine.

I think it should be how white they are and not how bright they are.....for the same money you can get an IR setup and see for 100's of meters....

This seems to be a pretty good solution to crummy corolla headlights

h4 square headlights for my ke55 were $6 each from my wreckers. I'm wanting to do a 5000k 35w hid conversion soon as i can't see shit at night. they got new globes in it and still doesnt help.

 

don't go more than 5000k as they have a blue tint and still out like dogs balls, also make sure you adjust them properly after hid's

Align your lights properly and they are ok. My ke11 has sealed beams with 40 year old relays/wiring and with properly aligned/aimed head lights and its reasonable. I'd happily go country with it apart from the fear of cleaning up roo's and hares.

No need to say mean things. As i stated i know they are not legal. The kit i have ordered, and used before are not stupidly blinding HID's that some people choose to use. This depends on the kelvin (K) temperature of your bulbs (the colour it emmits) and also the power discharged from the ballasts. Why is it, whenever someone says HID, people automaticly think of overpowering blinding blue or white light? And power The low beam output from the kit ive used, and will be using is as comparable on your eyes as good set of halogen bulbs (slightly whiter). People that want to run their mouth, have a read about how HID works. A good read.

Evan buy some 'crystal' headlights and some +30 bulbs and you'll love it.. my setup is the same and the lights are better than my 2002corolla.
