got a question here.
-
im driving the cefiro 230jm currently. im thinking of changing my lamps to HID lamps. but i dunno how to go about doing that?
my fren told me that my lamps are H2 type.issit true?how much would it cost if i wanna change them?
currently i think the stock lamps are at 2000k. would it have any adverse effects on my battery life time if i were to change them to lamps of a higher temp?
wad's the highest temp (the brighest) lamps available currently?
are HID lamps the brighest lamps available now?thanks.

if the car is not fitted with HID by factory, then converting to HID is illegal.
if you want to change your bulb to something brighter, get the Philips Visionplus... they say its the brightest stock colour bulb out there. -
hmmm.philips vision plus.but wad are the prices like?
and where can i go to get the job done?u got any recommendations? -
they cost around $40... i got my philips from autobacs, not visionplus though. mine's crystalvision... white in colour but bad light throw

hmm...are xenon lamps brighter or HID?
wad's the diff b/w them? -
Haha..for your info, HID lights = Xenon lights..HID stands for High Intensity Discharge..The Xenon/HID lights actually originated from camera's flashlight which is very bright..so HID lights and Xenon lights is the same thing..if your car didnt come with Xenon/HID lights as standard, then converting to HID/Xenon lights yourself is illegal..so u can only change to a brighter halogen light..haha..Originally posted by social87:hmm...are xenon lamps brighter or HID?

hey i was thinking... xenon headlamps don't neccessary come in those projector types right? (the ones with a big curve lens)
cus i know that the '02-'04 Mini Cooper S's xenon headlamps is reflector type:
the top half is the low beam xenon lamp, the bottom circle is the high beam halogen. the smaller circle is... just the word "xenon"
So... actually you can still use the car's stock reflectors but fit a xenon bulb instead? but i also read somewhere you'll need to change the reflector cos the stock won't be able to take the xenon's high temp... true? and also xenons need ballast to work lah... hmm -
Go back to tan chong and you'll get the exact and authoritative answer.

Yup..Xenon/HID lights not necessarily must come in projector type..it can also come in reflector type..and LTA says changing to Xenon lights from normal halogen lights needs a lot of work..cuz the voltage higher..and the reflector also must change..but this is what LTA says la..so i dunno also..lol..Originally posted by tomsss:hey i was thinking... xenon headlamps don't neccessary come in those projector types right?

anyone can intro any workshops that are in the north area?im staying at seletar hills dere.
would it affect my battery life if i were to change the lamps?thanks -
It MIGHT just affect your battery..better change to a high voltage battery..if not might drain your battery quite fast..sorry, but i dunno any workshops to intro..so wait for other guys to help u out then!
