4300K Quality HID Kit Technical Review & Install (W+Pics)

[bhvm]

Hello Again Nano,
Do let me know what is your Motive behind replacing All small bulbs with LEDs?
Looks? Power saving? Reliability? Safety?

For Power saving, do not really bother. The saving is minuscule. And often, Load Resistors Need to be used for turn signals (to prevent hyperflash). Which means, The power draw now is Original Bulb+ LED bulb. That actually increases Power consumption.

Best application for LED would be interior Dome light & Luggage light where Improved brightness and White color is Welcome. For parking I recommend really high Quality LEDs. Sometimes, you can find LEDs that are bright enough that works as good as DRLs. That could save you some wiring hassle.

I will also need Socket Spec for all the bulbs you want to purchase.

Thanks bhvm, for your indepth reply, I have installed the LED dome light in my Nano, which also has the theatrical dimming effect, I have added the shortlisted to amazon cart LED lamps https://www.amazon.in/gp/cart/view.html/ref=nav_cart let me know your opinion.

I just want simple LED lights, just for the brightness, also the luggage dome light.

I think i will get the round end with 2 pins/studs on either side (old school type), and the latest versions, I need cheap under Rs.100/150 per pair, so i can keep stock in case some fail in future, hope I'm not bothering you with my nerd questions

If we replace the dome light and boot light with LED, will the dimming effect be present ?

Hi bhvm, could you suggest some good LEDs for parking lights ?

Nano, I can't see your cart. You need to send me separate links.

Cheaper LED's are quite useless, As you'll spend more time replacing than enjoying them.
Try these-
High quality T10 24 SMD Silicone Error Free Car LED Light For Skoda Yeti

Universal T10 SMD 57 LED Canbus Error Free parking/number plate For Ford

2x T10 COB LED Super Bright Canbus Car Light Error Free For Hyundai | eBay

The 57 LED product is quite nice as its fully metal.

If we replace the dome light and boot light with LED, will the dimming effect be present ?

Yes, If Dimming is implemented with PWM driver, it will be carried over. Otherwise its easy to add a capacitor in parallel to led for adding dimming effect even to the car which don't have one.

Thank you. I have just ordered the second one. My only concern is mine is W5W type but looks like these are 6W bulbs. Hope it wont cause any trouble. Let you know one I install the bulbs.

 

[Chochi]

I have installed the LEDs , looks very good , thanks.

 

[bhvm]

Post some pics Chochi!

 

[GVRitz]

Sure will share the pics soon by tomorrow and has been price at around 3400 where if customer uses "Automotive10" as coupon code will get 10% discount on Home - Uglare. This includes pair of mini projector lens with relay and fast bright hid bulbs.

Hi tdautoz,

Appreciate if you could you post the throw and cutoff pictures of these projector lens. These seems to be a very good option to upgrade lighting especially direct fit on H4 sockets.

Nope.
If they flicker, theres something wrong.

We added HIDs to Innova fogs, theres minor flicker which I can barely notice
Is this cause for concern?

 

[bhvm]

A relay kit could help solve flicker.
Other casue could be having a DC ballast and not AC ballast.

Not a concern generally.

Hi Guys.
I have an elite i20 and i got hids fitted in my fog lights from the showroom itself. I have got p8 hid conversion kit with 6000k lights. I want to change that to 4300k lights. I would like to know whether i should get 4300k lights or new conversion kits for 4300k lights. I want to know whether 6000k hid ballasts will support 4300k lights?

Ballasts stay the same.
You'll have to change the bulbs to 4300k.
