HID headlamps

[kat8186]

Guys I need some help! Is there a difference between HID headlamp and xenon headlamp. Cause I think I want to get the headlamp. The reason is, I find the the light not properly focused and the distance of the light to be the same or even a little shorter then when I had the yellow lights on.Could you guys tell me where to get it, what kind I should get and the price for 1. I only need the headlamp cause I already installed the kit it is WRX. Please help guys!!

You need a projector headlamp for a homogenous uniform light throw. The halagen reflector with a HID kit is not going to give you the ideal effect but in fact may even distort the light throw making the light less focus with a short throw distance. The problem may be reduce if the HID bulb is properly installed and aimed but still projected light gives u the best range.

Check out this link to get a better understanding of the pros and cons between conversion kit, retrofitting a projector vs getting an OEM projector.

You should be able to buy an E46 pre facelifted OEM projector headlamps with factory Xenon (4700 K temperature if not mistaken) for about RM 3,500 from chester at Chester homepage. You can then swap the OEM HID with your kit provided your kit has D2S bulbs. But factory spec at 4700 K (if i am not wrong) has the best lumens hence the brightest. The higher the bulb temperature the lower the lumens and brightness. No pount getting 10,000K bulbs when u cannot see the road properly.

Hope this helps.
