Update on my HID install. So it's been going good for a little while but 2 nights ago i noticed that when i went over bumps the light would flicker a little bit like the bulb was not snug in the socket. I decided to check it out and it turns out the bulb had melted the little plastic casing that it came with and was now just freely bouncing around.
What i did was I just took some needle nose pliers and cut the melted plastic off so that i just had the bulb and then put that into the bulb housing of the headlight. Then i took the original wire thing that keeps the bulb tight on the back of the bulb assembly and manipulated it to secure the bulb in place. It's not very snug in the bulb housing socket of the headlight.
When we drove around with it we noticed an IMMEDIATE difference. It's REALLY bright and the light profects VERY far. Almost to the point of this might be borderline illegal. When we drive it lights up the entire road on the 3 lane highway. If we are all the way in the left lane the lights can light up and exit sign all the way to the right. Is this legal? Anyways visibility is amazing we can see everything coming from a mile away, cops did see the lights but they did not pull us over so i'm guessing they're fine?
We tried the highbeams and it made little difference. The only real difference is that the high beams are yellow and it goes just a little above where the white lights end. I see the same kind of lights on hummers and trucks though and they are high up and right in my rearview where as we are low to the ground. Anyone know what the legal limitations are?
