Question about HID's.
 

Hey guys,
I need to know before I order...

As memory serves me, we use 4300K HID bulbs (type: D2S specifically).

Now, I want a tad bit more blue, thus I'd go with 6000K. Is this safe to do (in terms of using the stock ballasts)? Will I melt or blow anything by installing these higher rated bulbs?:dunno:

I was going to order from Prestigehid, a vendor here on the forums. Here's a link to his for thread selling HIDs. Do these look OK to put in?:dunno:

Thanks guys :biggthumpup:, the G is, obviously, my first HID equipped car, rather do it right the first time.

You merely change the bulbs, and use the stock ballasts.

You don't need to install an aftermarket ballast unless your car didn't have HID's in the first place (i.e 1st gen cars).

just buy the bulb already lol

Thanks man.


will do

Yeah, it's a simple D2S bulb replacement. PIAA, Raybrig, Phillips, Ichikohs, GaraX sell them. I think GaraX is a pretty good brand. I thought about changing mine on the FX, but decided it wasn't worth the money with an already nice OEM output.

Hey man, are you xpeed as in "xpeedracing". Awesome man, welcome aboard, you bought yourself an FX, congrats!!!

Lets see a drawing of it.

^ haha yeah, and actually, I bought the FX before my camry. Got it when no one ever heard of or seen it. :P

I will draw it one day.......

^awesome man!

I have to venture more out to the toyotanation forums. miss you guys already, hahaha
just everytime i seem to go to the gen 5 category, there's like 1,000,000 new users and 10 pages of posts for each thread...kinda overwhelming, i don't know where to "jump in".

see ya around buddy, I gotta buy a new car so you can draw another masterpiece for me!

if you want more blue (or to save some $) I've got some 8K bulbs, one of them is new! PM me if you're interested - price is cheap

now continue thread-jacking yourself :thewave: ha

^no thanks on the 8K, a bit too blue for my liking.

and yeah, true, I realize I've been thread jacking myself (actually that kinda sounds dirty, hahaha). I'll forgive it.

I just got 6K GaraX D2S bulbs this weekend. They work great! I had some no name brand 6K bulbs that werent as bright. One died after a few months so I bought these from a local shop.

^good to hear...hope mine will last a little longer than a couple months

well question replacing those higher wattage bulbs, would they somehow affect the warranty on it?

^sure, if your harnesses melt or if your stock ballast goes, i'm sure they wouldn't change it under warranty.
just put back in your old bulbs before you bring it in and then you'll be alright.
