[HELP]Anyone got HID kit for the Z?
 

I just tinted my headlight and the visualbility is really bad. Would aftermarket HID help? I know stock comes with 4300 and I'm thinking of 6000. Would this not help? And do I need to install the ballasters too?

Replacing the stock bulbs to 6000k won't help your visibility at all. It'll only make it worse.

Apparently "higher wattage" HID won't help either...
Want to know if a 50/55 watts HID kit will melt my projector headlights? - Yahoo! Answers

next time don't tint the outside lens, blackout the inside and leave the projector alone as to not disturb your light output.

:iagree:

Weird how tint limits light throughput..

thanks guys...so even ballasters won't help?

I really wanted to paint the inside but....guess what? even looking at DIY and all that....I was afraid of breaking it...lol

ya, you aren't going to get much more light output than you get stock with any setup. how was the tint done? If it was an overlay you can remove it and black out your inner housings instead. If it was paint, then you may be SoL

my friend works at tint shop and he got a special film for the lens...I did not expect it to be so dark...I have to sacrifice something for what I like...lol I have no skills to do all DIY stuff....not expert like you guys....:(

I'd never pulled open a headlight before I did mine. I know it's a little intimidating, but you might surprise yourself!

vinyl perhaps? if its a film you can take that off and go with a lighter film.

I am really good at breaking stuff so...haha

I would try 55w.
You could ask the people on hidplanet they might be able to help you out.

:iagree:

Funny thing about that......

(And BTW, You already have HID's. The film is to ghetto, remove it)

haha it was your DIY simota1. I was motivated by your DIY and my friend offered me to get it tinted...lol thanks guys for the help...it costed me $45 to get it tinted....

hahah sorry bro... :p is it painted on tint or just tint film? if its tint film just remove it bro safety is better than crashing at night because you cannot see the road... :ugh2:

Step 1) remove tint
Step 2) have a shop disassemble the headlights and paint the housings black
Step 3) profit

If you don't have the confidence and/skills to do something, there is always someone out there you can pay to do it for you.

haha its tinted...I'll post a pic soon...kind of busy with midterms...it looks pretty sexy on PW. haha I prefer sexy over safety for now....kind of broke with money cause of dvd and subwoofer install...thanks again for the safety concern. I really appreciate..

Uhhhh..... function > form. :shakes head:

Natural selection makes our cars rarer, so profit for those who can keep their Z's in one piece. Darwin award nominee?

very much:iagree:
