Update on HID retrofit

September 24th, 2008 Tesna Leave a comment Go to comments

The car just got out from the workshop and so far I’m quite satisfied with the output result although it needs slight adjustment on the direction and rotation of the beam. From the photos alone, the difference is HUGE. As you can see in the pictures below, the light spreads evenly, the cutoff is sharp, and does not produce glare.

I haven’t seen it directly though, I just saw it via photos captured by my brother’s mobile phone. Next week I’ll be back in Jakarta, and hopefully the result is better if I saw it directly, and more useful used in the real road conditions.

UPDATE:  Since I’ve seen it directly in action, I must say I’m very impressed! The road surface illuminated  so much better than using halogen.  The money totally well spent! I’m also took better photos of the beam pattern. For your information, the bulb in the photos below is using 6000K color temperature, 4300K color temperature was not available at the time. As the time of this update, the bulb already replaced with 4300K one, so it should illuminate the road even better. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge the photos.
