Improving stock HID Bulbs?

synolimit · 01-06-2014, 03:55 AM

Every car I own I find I have to raise the beam. Does nothing for me driving on a dark country road or highway at 60-80mph with the light only 10 feet in front of the car giving me zero time to react to a deer, tire, animal etc. maybe raise it up a hair to see if that helps. Then search bulbs. I'd stick to name brand if I could. A lot of HID bulbs out there will be the cheap $5 ones they put in the Chinese $55 HID kits for other cars.

This guy however is the most insane knowledgeable guy on bulbs ever if you have questions! I did all the conversions of my OEM WRX bulbs to more powerful ones that you have to mod. For example the OEM low beam is a H11 with like 1100 lumens. But shave the tab down on a 9006 HIR and you have almost 2000 lumen.
