What is your headlight lighting setup? (9006, HID, etc.)

If you do the projector retro, WAIT, TRS is right around the corner on releasing the Mini D2S 3.0 which will be on par with lower end OEM setups while being retardedly easy to install (threaded flange through the stock bulb hole).

Trs is a couple minutes from my place, I wonder if I could get us a discount like they have on m8g.

[Quashish]

that would be sweet im gunna want to buy bulbs soon, going to try 5000k. the price used to be $70 for a pair its only $65 now, (at least for the XB35s) but if they would give us a sale price for some reason, that would be awesome.

In my CD7, I have a drop in HID kit. It's terrible. Light output is low and the color is a bit too 'blue' for my tastes. I got it for free, luckily, from a friend who works at a dealership and took them off a trade-in. Not even sure on the brand. I love Silverstars, but as said, they WILL burn out more quickly than other regular bulbs. I'll probably end up going with Silverstars again, but the PIAA Super Plasmas and Xtreme Whites have been getting decent reviews, too/

Stock bulbs bitches. I never ran hid's b4 in my car don't need to even tho they r cheap.. I always ran Silver Stars but they are $20 each and we have 4 bulbs =(

Lows=Sylvania SilverStar Ultras-Very white bright light, best I`ve had for just a halogen, pricey though.

Highs=Putco Jet Yellow

Putco makes quality stuff, I have their LEDs all through out my car.

this.

TRS just released the 3.0....retrofitters world wide are going ape-shit. I was just about to go for an FX-R retro but it looks like the d2s 3.0 will be as good or better while being way easier to retrofit...might have to snag a pair real soon.

anyways, here's my old d2s 2.0 setup...

90-91 JDM Headlights, retrofit w/Morimoto-Mini D2S Projectors running 35w ultra-slim V-HID ballasts and 4.3k Phillips 85122+ D2S HID bulbs. The retrofit is like 2years old now and is solid. No issues so far. The projectors are bi-xenon so they have a low and high beam pattern. No real need for additional high-beams...but my highs are halogen H1 with the reflectors tinted yellow.

low-beam pattern:


high-beam pattern (H1 halogen highs not shown):



OP, the general consensus is that HIDs in projectors are the [only] way to go. So please don't run HIDs unless you're using them with HID projectors. And now that the D2S 3.0 is out you can have the baddest lights on the block for cheap.

[sonikaccord]

Ahhh the 3.0s are out. Yeah...time to try to get that discount.

[Quashish]

I just checked out the d2s 3.0 and im really tempted to get them. $140 For the projectors themselves is cheap. I would need the d2s ballasts because they're different than mine but still... wow. I wish i could.

The optional square lense is sick! I seen the square projectors on a Hyundai SUV and i was thinking that would look perfect on a CB Becasuse of our body. I WANT!

[Corweena]

I'm running Depo replicas of the JDM blackhoused headlights (5th Gen), and I've really been leaning towards retrofitting them to daily, and picking up a set of authentic JDM lights for meets and such. Because honestly, the light output on the stock lights isn't that great lol.

You wouldn't need new ballasts, just AMP-D2S adapters..http://www.theretrofitsource.com/acc...l#.UtPux7TWP00

These are what im using to run my d2s 2.0 since i already had an AMP PnP kit..

Yep, same exact setup on my bike. Just ordered an extension wire and new ballast actually so I could keep it under the seat (water damage...)
