///BHRpowered Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 ....okay dokie then.....I see your new to HID's what you want does not exist, sort of, if ebya or ricers tell you different there dirty chinks and have no idea what there talking about. The "color" you see twinkling in oem hid's, 4300k color temp that is is an optical illusion, the color extends as a fine line along the cutoff of the beam and as the suspension moves and the car travels over surfaces that cutoff line goes in and out of your direct line of sight, causing the color. SOME projectors, by which I mean hid retrofits can be modded in various ways to project a thicker band of color, but you cannot change the color so to speak. Some projectors, like the TSX ones people have used washers, regular out washers from home depot as spacers, moving the shield further away from the bowl of the projector. Unless you have a custom HID retrofit and projectors that work like this then therei s nothing you can do. Even 4300k bulbs in factory projectors won't benefit from this. What year is your car, and have you done any color mods? I'm one of the few people with a retrofit, by far the most custom, I know for a fact I'm the only person with bixenons in a 95-00, and only 1 other person with an 01-02 I know of (don) has them. My cutoff color has been generated first by the projectors used, combined with a gasket spacer mod, and a lense swap. Avoid google, useless search engine, its not called a washer mod, just shield or cutoff mod, color mod etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I looked it up, not sure who did it, but I can't believe they blacked it out, totally unneeded, anyway they just used some plain jane washers as a spacer, the number goes back to a very very old thing on hidforums (no longer in existance) 500 dollars is damn expensive, what a freakin rip off, the retrofit they did is not very custom, more or less a direct swap, you can purchase a pair of TSX projectors, or others for under 180 at the most, do it yourself in under an hour.

///BHRpowered Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 the pissbucket is just that, avoid only the tsx projectors use washers as spacer, but pretty much every projector can be modded in some way, check out www.hidplanet.com I'm not sure about the rx projectors, but basically you cna use any projector with a 2.5" lense (around 75% of those out there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 uneducated fools, those posts on hidplanet would get them whipped in a field alot of bixenon projectors are 3", but 2.5 is by far the most common, tsx is 2.5, you CAN use a 3" projector in the 01-02, don used tl bixenons in his, but it requires some extra trimming and a bit more aimming, but can be done.

///BHRpowered Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 you need a set of projectors. If you want the washer mod you can do it yourself, but as your first HID experiance, go with them as they come, some people don't like the extra color as it doesn't create as sharp a cutoff, mine are about midway, still sharp but good color, some people mod the projectors for a razor, and I mean razor sharp cutoff, but almost no color.
