HIDs

Does anyone know if the HIDs off an I35 will fit a 2002 G20?

they will, the ballasts are all universal, and the bulbs might vary but i'm guessing they use the universal bulbs. i'm 90 percent sure they will fit. All u need to know is if the bulbs are universal, which i'm almost sure they are.

My dad has an I35 so if I switch them will my H4s work on the I35? And how would I swap them?

i'm not sure if i'd reccommend doing that...the I35's have a single filament bulb versus the g20's dual filament h4's. even if it did fit, you'll be blinding people like crazy cause there won't be anything there to shield the light from getting into the high-beam portion of the headlamp. plus, on top of that you run the risk of getting pulled over because it'll seam like your running your high-beams all the time.

My suggestion...get a Bi-Xenon Kit from Hella, it'll fit in a G20 and it'll provide you with HID for both high and low beams. I've seen them for a decent price around the web, as low as ~$550 or so, check ebay also they sometimes have them there. good luck.

He is right, every HID is single filament, actually there is not filament, the light is produce by the elctric charge between the 2 poles.

I will be able get the Hella HID kit for you guys in about 1-2 weeks at a low price, I am arranging a groupbuy for that Hella bi-xenon kit, i am current an owner of it, and i have tons of pics if you guys want to see it

Any HID solution for the P10? :)

HID is universal.. It should work with the P10

Are you %100 sure about that? If so, are there any for less than $550?

Yeah, I'd like to see some pics.:)

You should get the right HID kit for you car, or it wont be just plug and play...P10 is 9004? Then you should get the 9004 kit...then it will be really easy for you to install

i have trouble posting pic, my pictures are JPG format, but here it says txt. format only. Before i was able to post the picutres

here is a site of the HID i am doing a groupbuy on

http://www.insight-usa.net/hid.htm

the price will be lower than that on there, but I have to see how much lower, probably between 500-525 shipped...depends on the quantity we order here. Anyone interested, just send me an email, and i will email you with the pictures

The phillips bulbs have two different model bulbs...the D2R and D2S....I think it was the D2R are made for our regular headlights and the D2S made for projector headlights. The D2R for our G20s have a special coating along the underside like some people mention the light would reflect off the high beam reflection points..well you can see for yourself here...

Yes, the D2S are designed for projector (ellipsoidal) type lenses. I would not recommend getting the hella kit. It is a cool idea with the Bi-xenon thing, but you are just lookin to blind people on the road.

I've been debating a long time (about 3 months) whether to get HID's or not. I finally came to the conclusion that I am not. It's not worth it. If your aftermarket kit causes some accident, and they investigate your car, your ass is gone. You'll be payin and payin and payin. The way I see it, if the car don't come with it, don't get it. It may look tight, but it's not worth it. The only way I would get it is if there were a remodeled G20 headlight, or just get some other headlight that already has HID's. Just my personal opinion.

However, if I would get one, it would be these. They seem promising.Check out the modified bulb. May be better than some other HID kits (for H4) (http://www.autolamps-online.com/products/h4kit.htm)

These are cool, it's the 6000K color that I like (the purplish). However, on the sight, I don't think these are available for the G20. They have an H4 kit, but perhaps it doesn't fit properly. I don't know. If anyone wants these, they might want to call and find out.

Has anyone tried the Sylvania SilverStar series? They don't have these in H4 (9003) yet, but they are making it soon for this spring. On the Sylvania sight, it's a purplish white color, but who knows. Anyone???

Be safe people. Don't get sold by some hotshot salesman on these HID kits. There is no such thing as street legal HID kits unless you get the ones where the entire headlight of the car is changed. Check out the Sylvania sight, you'll know what I mean. Here it is: On this site, scroll down to the part with the products (in black). This is where the replacement headlights are.

Do you know someone with this kit? I just question how do you know this kit is blinding while you see the other kit is promising. Or are you just assuming it is blinding. If you really have seen the actually kit on the street, then i will appreciate your comment on it


The way I see it, if the car don't come with it, don't get it
So no super white, exhaust, intake, anything that didnt come right?

Well what I think he meant by this was that if the mods you put on the car affect the safety of OTHER people on the road, then you should be careful about doing it.

I dont think a new exhaust or intake would hurt anyone else on the road.

Yeah, I knew what he meant. I care about blinding ppl with the HID too. But i have check many times (looking straight at them from far, close) and they are just the same as the OEM HID-equiped car. I just wonder why he said the other place is more promising

Good question.

Dude, my bad, i didn't mean to offend you. The statement i was making was a generalization. The thing is, if the bulb position happens to be in the right spot in the headlight, there shouldn't be a problem with blinding people. The reason i made the general statement was because I've seen a similar kit on a civic (not the bi-xenon), it was totally blinding me. Perhaps he had to adjust his headlights lights.

The reason why the other kit seems promising is just a personal opinion. I derived this conclusion based on things that i have read. I must have visited like 15 different sites on HID stuff. The fact that this company took the time to analyze the beam pattern and make specific adjustments to HID kit in order to have a correct beam pattern made me believe this kit to be well made. Actually, I would like to see this kit. That's kind of why I haven't bought them.

"The way I see it, if the car don't come with it, don't get it"

by this, i was referring to the HID's. My main concern is the safety of others on the road. Intake, exhaust, etc. wouldn't really cause problems to other drivers. (maybe noise, but nothing that could kill them) You know?

As for the super white bulbs, those are specifically designed and approved for various headlight designs. Hold up any H4 bulb next to each other, you'll see that the fillaments, coils, etc. are all in the same place. The beam created should end up the same as OEM regardless of bulb color, however the amount of illumination (lumens) may vary.

After posting my first post, I ran across the site you had pictures of. It doesn't seem to glare. I was thinking it was due to the little piece uder the bulb that controls the hi beam. It may block some of the light to force a certain beam pattern, just like the one I referred to. I didn't mean to offend anyone, just wanted to spread some knowledge. Peaceout.

Thanks for checking out the page...HID can be very blinding, as well as halogen. I tried to adjust the headlight up and it shot everywhere on the freeway (i mean like mile away) but it was extremely blinding, that was why i adjusted to now (a good balance between bright on the road and on the eyes of incoming drivers). I think anyone who doesnt want to get blind by other ppl shouldnt be point his headlight up in the sky. Try shooting the headlight on halogen up, it will also look like highbeam, just HID is brighter so it will even be more blinding
So I think a properly adjusted HID is good for street use too

I also believe the kit you showed on that page is very well made, what brand is that kit

The Hella HID has a cover that is supposed to offer a highbeam feature, when hight beam is not used, the cover shields the bottom half, only when the highbeam is used , the cover will open. So this doesnt blind ppl

I appreciate you clear things up thanks

I'm also concerned about blinding oncoming drivers, so I was going to get some tinted headlight covers. It should still be brighter than stock, but it shouldn't blind anyone. (Not to mention that it would look good and also protect the healights from getting chips and cracks.):thinkerg:

My .02 cents

I think the tinted cover kind of defeats the purpose of HID. If you adjust the headlight right, it shouldnt blind other drivers while provides more visibility for you
But it does help protecting the headlights from rocks and stuff
