HID conversion
HID conversion
I just installed an HID conversion to my mx-3 and let me tell you they are amazing. Finnaly there isn't a shawdow infront of my car when another car is behind me! I was kinda scared about spending all that money on lights, but after driving 700 miles during the night yesterday I have no regrets! Plus they look amazing! So anyone who is thinking about it I say go for it! Just be careful on what brand of kit you get.

I don't have a camera so i can't take pictures. I used a kit from Pilot for the stock headlights. The install was super easy, this kit has the ignitor and ballast built into one unit instead of having to mount two boxes. All you do is run the wires off the stock harnesses. The kit costs $200 and I got it from ebay. I was skeptical at first so i emailed like 20 of the people he has sold the kit to and didn't get one bad review. They probably aren't quite as good as an HID bulb in a projector, but being the price difference it is a much better alternative to projectors. Like ever other mx-3 owner i wanted better lighting and didin't like the look of projectors and specially didn't like the price of them either. This is a great alternitive and the light output is amazing!

25 feet. Try the headlight aiming directions contained in the link to get your set-up right - up/down of each unit as well as inward/outward. This should help to get the best and cleanest light pattern with the optimum beam cut-off spot.slowmx3 wrote:How far away from a wall should i be to take decent pictures of the beam pattern?

Those are actually if you have a cut-off to your lights....jschrauwen wrote: 25 feet. Try the headlight aiming directions contained in the link

I love people with HID kits that lose their high beams, especially those purple ones. Every time they are in the opposite lane and I get blinded, I give them a taste of my Bi-Xenon and Halogen High beams.. Mine are probably a few brighter but it's only fair. May be eventually, they wiull get an idea.

Is this the Ebay kit being discussed?
