CoopMcNasty Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hey guys, I'm about to purchase HIDs for my 09 Legacy and am wondering which ones you currently have/had on your cars. After a bit of reading around here on LGT it seems like 35w is the way to go rather than 55, although I would be very curious as to what the 55w would look like (I have the bigger the better mentality). Is it really justifiable to spend the extra on the Morimoto (or Diode)? I can totally see spending the extra coin if it is a superior product. I'd Rather spend $150 now to save myself down the road when balasts/bulbs blow.

AkumaMax Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I've never had any of them but have heard nothing but good things about the TRS kit. DDM used to be good then they outsourced to china and now are crap from what I was told. I used to rock a shitty XENTEC HID kit and it was horrible. Went on ebay about 2 months ago and ordered a Candle HID kit($27) works better then the XENTEC but still shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Bait Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Please post up pics after you get them installed. What temperature did you get? I want to see see the difference between the DDM for $35 vs TRS which is a $150 kit. My friend has the DDM kit in his audi and they seem like good quality for only $35.

CoopMcNasty Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Images coming shortly.

metsfan999 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I've used DDM & DiodeDynamics and both have failed me even with a battery harness. Right now I'm using Blue Track ballasts (myHIDkit.com) paired w/ TRS 4300K Bulbs w/o a battery harness and still has not failed me yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Bait Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 WRONG Halogen Projectors and HID Projectors are not the same damn, I tried. I had no idea there was a difference. Edit: just looked up the difference. I guess the cutoff line isn't as good on halogen projectors but it is still a hell of alot better than just normal headlight housings. I don't think you would blind people with Halogen Projectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yes to the "not as bad" compared to regular non-projector halogen headlights, but HIDs in these halogen projectors still produces some glare, and the light isn't distributed as evenly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
