510 headlights

[danfiveten]

So i went to cost less today to get plugs and wires gettin ready for gg. And i look behind their counter and they got 4inch projector headlights for 20 bucks a pair. So i bought them. The last time i bought a set was 2 years ago, tried them in the dime and the headlight rings wouldnt fit over them. Well these fit :0 for 20 bucks. Tommrow im gettin some hid's baby and converting. :-D ive been lookin for a while for some that would fit, but after my last experience i didnt want to buy anything from ebay. And i dont want to go the route of the bmw projectors even though they look good, i dont want to drill or cut ANYTHIN. What hid kits are good ones?

Hey man post up a pic! I've had ebay hids for over a year with no problems.

[danfiveten]

well i found a guy with hid kit for 50 bucks cuz he said they wouldnt fit his lights, i figure i can find a way to get the bulbs to stay in worst case scenario, heck 50 bucks for a car i drive like 10 times a year >.> I got the left light in and hooked up with a regular bulb and its brighter. I have the nice h3 sylvania lights from canada that was the shit for these cars in the day that still work great. Im going to keep the high beams with those in and just have hid's for the low beams.

I have a spare set of h4 8k hids. I'll trade or sell you for you other hid bulbs. They work fine I just stepped up to hi/low bulbs.

[danfiveten]

that a whole kit with ballast..? if so how much you want?

[philcas1987]

I have just the bulbs. I'm more intrested in a trade. I need 9006 style bulbs. You first have to know what style bulb you need. Mikey (dislexic) has an hid conversion he's trying to do before gg aswell. Do they have more of those housings at cost less?

[danfiveten]

yaha couple boxes left.

[danfiveten]

the h4 bulb plugs right into the 510 harness which is what i put in the light after i put it in. so needs to be along that size.

this is the set im buying

 

i have an 880 series hid kit new hook up once but wrong size for my truck it is 6000k color is diamond white slight tint of blue asking $50.00 obo

[philcas1987]

the bulbs fit an h4 housing. the 510 harness plugs into the ballast. for about 65 you can have a whole kit on ebay. But you'd have to wait a week.

880 is a foglight #. 50 bucks is not bad price. If the ballasts work.

[danfiveten]

Think i can get teh foglight ones to work?

[philcas1987]

Yeah. I don't see why not. Imagination and ingenuity. I've seen lots of adaptations online

pics ????

The lowest I would do is 6000K, I just put 10000K in my dodge and love them

[danfiveten]

So i have a hid kit for sale for 45 bucks after i hacked up the bulbs a lil bit :) bulbs work fine just the plastic covers over them are gone. I had some issues with plastic deciding to catch on fire because they get TO HOT in the fucking housings :(. so that was a failure. 45 bucks is a good deal if anyone wants them, vancouver wa :).

 

 

ANd it sucks, because they looked so damn awsome untill a few issues. I would spend more time working on them but with my back i cant bend over for any longer.

[gokiburix]

I'd like to see pics :unsure:

[danfiveten]

Well i figured out a idea. But i blew out a ballast. BUt it worked, no burning, no smoking, no fires :) Now i just need another ballast to fix it.

[danfiveten]

What images? if you read the posts you will see it failed for now so there are ZERO pics. Untill i get another ballast im at a stand still.

[sssr20det510]

Pics of the housings you fail

[danfiveten]

lol how do i fail. You will see the housings sunday morning. Ill post pics once i get the thing done and working properly. Trying to find a cheap replacement ballast.

Degrees Kelvin indicates the color temperature only. Higher Kelvin ratings do NOT mean more light! The most light output, 3,200 lumens, (about 3 times that of halogen) is in the 4300 K range. 6000K is about 2,800 lumens and continues to drop as the Kelvin number increases. The whole idea of HID is more light to see with, at least it is with me. 10,000K (2,200 lumens, or only twice that of halogen) is a step back from 6,000K and it is a step back from the industry standard of 4,300K. Anything higher is about that 'blue HID' look (or purple or pink)

[danfiveten]

I just plan on white 6000k range. I hate the bastard civics with purple that blind me.

WEll here is a pic in my garage. I just need to aim them, but i got it to work. DOnt have brackets so i used double sided 3m tape to hold the ballast in place. with ductape over the top just in case >.> ghetto ..i mean ratsuny i know :) but untill i get a harness made to hold them and a permanet spot. But they look good.
