HID's and lights

Exit9alero · 07-24-2007, 04:39 PM

hey guys im looking for HID's for my 99 alero

im also interested in the glow gauges
and the neon gloe around the headlight
and im wondering if angel eyes were ever fabricated for aleros?

i wouldn't put HIDs on your alero without having projectors

gauges you can do yourself w/ leds. just need to know how to do a little soldering.

neons around the head lights can/will also be better with LED. I believe there is a "how-to" for that one.

angel eyes have been done... i think its always a custom done job, no-how to yet... but people around here know how to do them.

Why not? i did, and they work GREAT!!

go to oznium.com and order the HIDs exit9, i have 8000k and they look good, if you go 10000k or 12000k they will be very blue. You dont need to get projectors, the hids will look/work great for ya!

Alon Alero · 07-24-2007, 06:14 PM

Yeah i got 8000k and they look great and blue enough.

If u get HID's which are bluer than 8000k it might not even look good for my opinion... i only wish i could change the color of my corners lamp from that stock yellow to white or blue or something but i dont think its legal over here anyways they look great especially when i trun on the fog lights... and i aint got projectors or anything like that as well...

Oh and what exatcly is "Angel eyes" ?

Look at a lot of bmw m3's its a bulb thats round so it kinda looks like its an eye ya know?

Alon Alero · 07-24-2007, 06:40 PM

Oh yeah i know those!

they also glow in a speciall way...

antichrysler · 07-24-2007, 07:16 PM

well you can put HIDs in without projectors, but all it does is spew random light, so you really don't gain as much as you could... the problem is that the light isn't concentrated or focussed.... all you do is blind people.

If you guys are interested I can post some pics of he 50W HIDs I just put into projectors on my MZ3

Exit9alero · 07-24-2007, 10:12 PM

hey billy thanks alot you guys give me good feedback
i dont exactly know what projecters are so if u say i dont need them then screw em but yea the installation easy on these and how cud i fabricate angel eyes

adam337 · 07-24-2007, 11:00 PM

a projector is kind of like a little box with a hole in it designed to Project the light into one spot instead of all over in the ditch in the sky everywhere this projects the light exactly where you need it.

50 watt ? you better be talking about a light bulb WITH a ballast

If you not, you just lost all faith I had in you.. lmao

teflone · 07-24-2007, 11:03 PM

YOU DONT NEED PROJECTORS

You picky ass people..

Who cares about the drivers that get pissed, they are jelous..

I have HIDs in mine.. NO projectors..

I love them.. BEST MONEY I HAVE SPENT ON MY CAR YET..

Why must everyone be so negative.... and for all you lame asses that sold your alero and hang around here to mock the alero.. eff off already!!!

strtrydr · 07-25-2007, 12:17 AM

I imported them from Hong Kong. Standard HIDs are 35W, these ones are 50W, so yes I have two ballasts, one for each bulb. 6000K. Seriously, if you're trying to get HIDs for better vision (which is why I got them) you need to have projectors. Think of it this way, how bright is a flash light when you turn it on and take off the cap? It doesn't do shit, so yeah you can put a brighter bulb on it and make it brighter but unless it's focussed in one area why bother? You'll just be bright without really seeing anything.

The other thing too is don't go too high on the color, it's only for show. After about 8000K you actually LOSE visibility since you end up with a very blue/purple light. Remember, maximum visibility is at 4300-5000K.

chill out lol. It's not that they're jealous, it's that it's a safety risk. There's a reason you're supposed to turn off your high beams when you go past oncoming cars on the highway. It's so that you don't blind people. Who's mocking Aleros on this thread? We're talking about projector vs. no projector.

Cliff8928 · 07-25-2007, 12:56 AM

Go tell GM, Honda, Ford, Mercedes, etc.. that they can't put HIDs on their cars unless they use projectors then...

antichrysler · 07-25-2007, 01:34 AM

They don't.

MixtapeMessiah · 07-25-2007, 05:23 AM

u can put hids in any car,for the like "spewing out" in ur words it just depends on how the headlight housing is, and most cars now a days have hids

No problem dude, angel eyes are cool, but i wouldnt go through all the trouble to do em.....

and i got HIDs to help make my car look nicer at night, and they are brighter than the stock bulbs. Im sure projectors would help a lot, but honestly.....i dont like the look of projectors in our cars, they look weird as effkkkk.
