This went horribly off topic, but the points being made are good. For the safety of everyone else on the road, please don't put HID's in non-HID housings.Joel;262330 wrote:
Are you mentally retarded? It doesnt matter what kind of bulbs are in your housings... They are all going to reflect the same direction off your reflectors... Unless you have aftermarket projector style housings.lawl.

You do realise that did not disprove what I said, correct? I said the bulbs will reflect the same way. Halogens do not have a cut off. I do not expect HIDs in my stock housings to have a sharp cut off. it will give me more light, and I could give 2 shits less about the person driving in front of me. -
wow that is very douchbag-ish of you. If im ever behind you i will be sure to put all of my 280watts of xenon right into your mirrors. And dont put hids in those fucking stock housings, they are terrible and your liable to cause an accident. In fact, if someone hits you at night and they say that your lights were not regulation you are at fault, and it can be proven in court quite easily

Yeah I'm sure you and Chuck's first thing you think about when modding your cars are other peoples safety... I'm sure neither of you have ever street raced before,

I agree, but im pretty sure in the century code it just says two forward facing bulbs XX centimeters off the ground yada yada. Nothing about being 'regulation' and color really.AFAIK, it IS Illegal to put High Intensity Discharge headlights into a vehicle which is not factory equiped with them. Like I said, I'll take the chance in getting pulled over, or being liable for an accident at night if someone claims it had to do with my headlights...

Gary, if you are certain of this argument that Joel will be liable in the case of a head on collision becaue of his improperly equipped headlights, i will gladly ram his vehicle with my jeep.

I say shit to people with hids's and non proper housings all the time. It looks like complete ass and does nothing for being able to see better at night. It does how ever make the car obnoxious and unsafe. But as long as you get the fancy blue light, right? Thats 3/4 the reason why i stopped cruising, slow paced and constantly getting fucking shined with crap hid setups
some cars will get more light on the road but at the expense of other drivers saftey. If you cant be standing outside your vehicle with your headlights on and look down at them with out hurting your eyes you fucked up.
This goes for about 95% of people with those scat ass mks hid's they buy for 100 dollars and put in every fucking light hole they can find.

Have you done any research on this at all? Reflector style housings are designed to work with a certain light output. If you flood the housing with light its going to reflect in every direction instead of the one its meant to.

Don't you have HIDs?? Projectors housings are not the same as HID housings...

^^ Do they make any aftermarket HID housings for older RX-7's?I don't think anyone does for the original pop ups on the FC or FD...... but I am sure some that offer the flush mount setups can be had with actual HID housings
This is a guess, as all i have is a sweet sealed beam conversion
I wanted to convert my pickup to HID's because one of my headlight brackets is broke.... but after reading up, and seeing the joke of them i declined

Now I feel bad for having HIDs. But, in my defense, I have gone to a parking lot when it is pitch black and then turned them on and stood in front of the car. I checked almost every angle and could stare at them no problem. It does indeed depend on the housing. It helps that mine have caps over the end of the bulbs and a black housing around the sides of the reflector.
