4300K Quality HID Kit Technical Review & Install (W+Pics)

[teamsachinf1]

Thanks @bhvm. But I think I am seeing some shadow on the LH side, I don't know if I am imagining things !

 

[bhvm]

Could be a return wire shadow.
Which side is return wire facing in current install?

I forgot exactly which side the return wire is facing !. Will check again tonight for the shadows and will open and reinstall the left side unit if required !

Checked and found the return line of the LH side bulb is facing up.(Top), what is the option available now ?

 

[bhvm]

Its generally on the bottom. In all my cars is in bottom.

The idea is that light bounces upwards, hits the reflector and gets focused down. Upwards return wire might be casting a shadow.

Can you re-seat the bulb?

How about this product bhvm ? Seller said it's oem and I checked online as well.

looks decent enough.
generally do not use 55w hid unless you have a specific reason to.

Hi BHVM suggest me good one out of these two, why 55W any specific reason

are you looking for h4 hid?

1. 55w will bleach your factory chrome reflectors due to higher uv content & heat.

OK will go 35W, I am looking for H4 for my Swift Dzire. Is that above 35W OK or will you suggest some other. Thanks.

HID is not succesfull in H4 unless you get a proper Bi-xenon retorfit. You can go for ones above or if budget allows, get morimoto kit. Get it professionally installed and stop the upgrade itch once and for all. Because this will be a serious upgrade after all. Installer skill is paramount.

Just be careful you choose an RHD kit for indian roads. Most kits including ones above are LHD.

The cutoff doesn't seem right ? The left bulb throw is not 100% on the road but slightly above.

 

[bhvm]

looks messy.
is the bulb installed wrong way?
what car is that btw?

 

[allhyundaicars]

Before it was like this. There was no throw on the road. Now where do I find a professional.
I talked with morimoto guy and showed him this picture he said it's fine. :/ I asked him as a favor. He then told me morimoto's are in stock.
I got the excelite brand HID'S. 35 Watt 4200k color.

He has not done a good job of mounting the ballast also. Left bulb was flickering sometimes.
Just wanted to know that pasting the ballast with the double sided tape provided in the box is sufficient to mount the ballast or not ?
Elantra doesn't have any space to properly mount the ballast.
