Hey Guys,
Im after a few thoughts or opinions from all you lighting gurus. Im getting new lights for my Shrock bar and am still undecided what to get. I want to do Micks HID projectors on the headlights as we all know the lowbeam sucks on these utes. The spots Im looking at are the Fyrlyts or possibly a Baja designs light bar. What do you all think of mixing the HID headlights with a xenophot spottie or led lightbar. How will it affect colour and projection. Should I just keep it all HID.
Cheers.
You would be best off doing the projector retrofit first and then seeing if you even need a light bar. A lot of guys fit these and never worry about spotlights or light bars. I'm not one of them though as I love light. lol The Stanley projectors I sell are what's fitted in a lot of factory fitted HID lights. These put out a great spread and have a high beam better then most spotlights. My new ballast line also meet all OEM specs and get be legally used as a replacement in most new cars (factory fitted HIDs). I wanted a ballast that would do everything an OEM ballast would do but with my own options added. They are custom built to my specs with full warm up time in 3 seconds (OEM requirement), canbus built in (no computer errors), 450mm long ballast cord, D2 plug already on ballast, totally water proof, internal igniters, slim line and can run on 12 and 24 volts.
As for the legal side of it most aftermarket headlight bulbs are even illegal. Pretty much any mod to headlights are illegal but most cars that aren't straight off the show room floor can be defected for one thing or another.
I've actually fitted these kits to coppers personal cars so they don't seem have dramas with Projector HID. They only get pissed off with the half assed plug and play kits thrown in reflectors with there fully sick blue bulbs. lol
It's all about doing it correctly, neatly and making them look OEM which it something I've pretty much got spot on. That is why after selling over 200 kits now I haven't had any of my customers get defected from my OEM looking set ups. I'm sure if they where I'd have heard of it by now. lol
If you want your headlights blackened out, Devils eyes, angel eyes, LED strips etc well that's where you run the risk of getting defected.
Cheers Mick
