I know that when I was pimpin around my Father in laws Range Rover it had HID's and they were amazingly bright.

Dave here is what I can tell you after mucho research on the subject.

1.

The lower the temp color the more pure white the light is.

2.

No matter what kit you get it will never be as good as a car that has HID from the factory due to the fact that the rx7 lens and reflector was designed specifically for halogen lamps.

3.

In my case where I used H3 bulbs you run into an additional problem. There are 2 types of filament setups in car bulbs, Axial, and radial. One goes up/down, the other left/right. H3 bulbs go left/right, but there are no real HID bulbs that can do this. There are companies that say they have overcome this, but I've seen all of them in use and they all look the same. The light pattern is off a bit due to incorrect filamnet positioning.



Anyway, $450 is too much to pay UNLESS you are getting good ballasts(I.E. Made in GERMANY) If you are paying $450 for asian made stuff, look on ebay you can get a good setup(asian made) for around $350 with shipping.

So why did you use h-3 and not the stock h-4?

Your light kit the reason?

Also can I polish out the glass face on my headlamps to improve the light diffusion?

Yeah im almost sick enough of shitty lights to spend some $$ for an upgrade

I used the h3 cuz thats what the eastbear kit uses. the whole thing with stock hid powered cars is that yes the headlamp lens is perfectly smooth and clear, but the bulb is hidden behind a special reflector/refractor. I honestly can't say if polishing out the stock lights would help or hurt. The rain stopped, as soon as it gets dark I'll go take some halogen VS. HID pics

Thanks Homey,



Uhm what about using a round light from another car that has HID's stock like a BMW or Porsche and having Mark Koch from CarbonfiberParts.net make plastic side guard to fit around it and make it look flush? That would be a bad *** conversion huh? Round flip-up's.





Anyone have a bemmer to measure the lights and see if it is fesible?

turbovr6

damn you like spending $$ huh??

Dave I don't know what bimmer lights would cost, or if they would fit, however if you really wanted to get true HID performance and are willing to spend the money, I would reccomend a Hella HID kit and have that guy you mentioned build a custom surround.

If you don't care about having highbeams I would get this set:

FF200







Or if you wanted seperate low and high beams, then you would need theese:

Those are pretty badass.

I dont think i will really be doing that.

I will just get the replacement HIDS for my lamps most likely.

I was just shootin the ****.
