never had ONE failure in 5 different kits. I have had HIDs in 3 vehicles so far, all from ddmtuning and I could not be MORE happy with the light output, quality and price. Without exception, all vehicles with factory-equipped HID headlights run 35w ballasts. The two most common options are 35w and 55w, but here and there, you’ll see 70-100w ballasts too. When on the highway in really dark areas and the low and fogs on, I light up so much area its ridiculous. When it comes to ballasts, the wattage rating will determine the intensity of light produced by the bulb. I mostly just drive with my foglight HIDs on and there is PLENTY of light, even in dark areas. I even use them in my reflector housings but I aimed them down a bit so I don't kill other drivers. I would see ZERO reason for anyone who drives at night to NOT use HIDS. I have made many night drives in the middle of nowhere, trips to MI from NM 1700 miles through some areas with no lights at 10pm-5am. ![]() There is NO point I could ever imagine in getting 55w either, 35w have been PLENTY in any case for me over the past 7 years. If you have any error codes or flicker issues, spend the 30$ for the fixes, also available over there.Ħ000k = white blue and still VERY bright (much brighter than any halogen)Ĩ000k = my favorite, more blue but still VERY bright (also much brighter than halogen and 'clean' light)ġ0000k = blue with hint of purple usually (still much brighter than any halogen but might get you into trouble with police and look kinda silly)ġ2-14k = purpleish (STILL much brighter than halogen but looks silly and might get you into trouble from the color) Dear Sifu,I am thinking of upgrading my E39 lighting to HID, the ori is like torch light, just not bright enough, anyone has try the 55W HID it is a. If there are issues with the install and how they turn on, there are simple relays and code eliminators to fix it.īasically anyone who gets the Vturbo should make their way to and for about 50$ you can get a full Digital HID kit which will enhance your visibility and the looks of your lighting. HIDs add so much visibility and given the Vturbo projectors, they will not blind other drivers. Also, I am looking at tinting my headlights and taillights, so I know Ill loose some of the brightness when I do. I guess most of that thread is pretty much useless information to most people but I guess it could be a good read if you just want to read about what HIDs are and suchĮntire thread seems like reasons NOT get HIDs. Point #2 is also null and invalid for the turbo guys since 35w gives you a bit more light, less glare, and saves you a bit more energy for your battery then the 55w. After reading all that I can sum it up to. The ballast with 35w transform to light with a bit heat than the 55w. Point #3 regarding the reflector housing wont affect the VTurbo's at all in that link, just FYI Turbo guys and gals! HID is a more concentrated discharge form of light so more energy is transformed to light instead of heat. Many HID conversion kits that advertise a 35W kit are merely pushing 26W, which gives off poor lighting and increases the risk of disaster when driving under poor lighting conditions.
