I THINK NOT!

So I really didn't realize how bad my lights were

until I installed my HIDs



So I went to O'reilly's and picked up one of these

Really easy to use and in 30 mins, BAM


Just look at the difference


I am a happy man now :mrgreen:. Now what do I do next...

You take the HID's out and put the halogens back in.

You take the HID's out and put the halogens back in.

This....on account that your HALOGEN housings are NOT made for HID's:rocket:

Makes a big difference but will not last long. You will have to repolish them every month.

Hey, I like my HIDs.

That is what I have heard. I am going to wait and see what they look like in a month and if they are that bad, I might just spend the money and get a new set.

I did a renewal for my headlights that last 4 years. You have to wet sand them down, then you spray this clear liquid across them and then cook them with a uv bulb. Worked really, really well.

 

[mitwehrli0317]

those HIDs will reflect like crazy off those housings.
Does anyone know a way of redoing your headlights and keeping them looking nice without having to keep buffing them? Besides what Burned said

i did the 3m headlight polishing kit. it comes with a piece you attach to a drill. its lasted over a year and my headlights are still clear.

My jetta's OEM lenses were super fogged so I got glass lenses and am quite pleased.

This. Hubby has used it twice on his Jetta. Worked great.

I have glass Ecodes on my GTI now. No fogging to worry about ever again. Probably my favorite "mod" on my car.

 

[Pssst...passed you]

i just picked up a new set of lights with glass lens....

and ^they are right, the fog will come back.

 

[fukn_dubn_gti]

glass lenses for fogging lenses.

RETROFIT PROJECTORS for Hids

/thread

 

[Bimmer84]

I am not a real big fan of the projectors. I like the HID look.

Jessabug, where did you get your ecodes?

Oh really now?

ECS Tuning. They aren't cheap, but they are great lights. Light pattern is great, output is great, and the glass lenses are the best solution.

I'm with everyone else...get those HIDs out of your headlights. You may like how they look, but everyone else on the road doesn't. If you want HIDs, get a retrofit.

^hahahaha

 

[Pssst...passed you]

It's funny because it is true

 

[rodgertherabit]

[Burned]

Ok so what happens if you do run HID's in teh stock housing? Will they melt not being able to hold the new voltage of the HID's?
