I had some **** head in a Ram behind me today that had HID’s in his stock reflector housing. He was literally blinding me from behind in broad daylight. What a douche.
And OP, I wonder how long those cheap bulbs will actually last. Let us know when they go out...
Will do. Im curious as to how long they last myself.
Those look like the early Spec D versions. I don't believe they have an option to adjust. If you do adjust them, let me know how you did it. I pulled those off my truck a few months ago due to this issue, but I am lifted, so it was real bad.
These have an up adjustment screw above the bulb, and down adj screw below the bulb.
you're comparing your setup to an HID kit that was designed to work with our factory lights and projectors. Although the factory projectors are not the best in the world, I think it's safe to say they are better quality then the aftermarket projectors found in those type housings.
You're upgrade is no doubt likely better then the oem light output, which is null at best. I'm doubtful your setup is better light quality then the Morimito kit designed for them stock projectors though. I'll follow this thread for more info. I'm not happy with my light output and have been weighing out my options. Definitely not splitting my lights and retrofitting new projectors, far to much money and effort.
When i went to install my LED bulbs, I noticed the projector in my housing can not be removed and replaced. If the morimoto kit comes with a new projector housing, and they fit in factory halogen projectors, i am sure they will have better, controlled light output than mine.
When i purchased my headlight housings, i was under the impression they used led bulbs for low beams. Found out they used halogen H1 bulbs. They were so dim you could hardly tell you even had your headlights turned on.
Replacing my halogen bulbs with LED was the only option.
Night and day difference between my LED bulbs and the stock halogen.
