Thinking bout these Projectors

[sumo]

Yea I need another set for side

 

[sumo]

checked beam alignment and Jerry rigged it. Wow so figgin bright. I know the height isnt the same but this gives an idea of just one Dual side headlight.

Thats just one projector? Man is that thing bright

 

[InTruckDesign]

coming along nicely...I think you guys may have convinced me to do the same. Sumo are you using the stock housings or aftermarket OEM style??

 

[THE YETI]

is this like "everyone is gonna high beam me" bright or is it just more concentrated light? I always thought projectors gave a more focused and evenly spread beam. That looks like it lights up the entire neighborhood. I'd certainly be interested in seeing how this is going to look from the front. I prefer a the modest HID look, 4300k, OEM looking. Is that what these should end up like?

If it's done correctly, the beam is very strong but blinds no one as it should have a very clean and sharp cutoff line.

Here's a guy demonstrating something similar on an nbs:

Those blue HIDs seriously make me vomit. I do not see the point in running anything higher than 5000k.

I agree, I just linked it for the cutoff question.

Plus he didn't do a great install, and it's not bi-xenon, and it's in nbs housings ... whole different and low budged hid animal.

 

[THE YETI]

whats the purpose of bi-xenon? Maybe i missed this discussion. Are Escalades and other vehicles bi-xenon?

As I understand it it's just a difference in bulb numbers: http://www.differencebetween.net/object/difference-between-xenon-and-bi-xenon/

Basically the way that sumo and I are setting this up is that all four lights (quad setup) are always on at night, both on high and low beam settings. An automatic solenoid goes up and down instantly to go from low beam to high beam. So no different bulb for highs and lows.

i used oem aftermarkets. They have the glue that can be baked apart. I used a heat gun and worked worked it all the way around.

ok, gotcha. looks like a pretty nifty mod, granted u get the right kelvin rating...

Is my guy gonna have a hard time opening my oem ones?

ive tried to get a front pic, but it didnt work. i have a pair of 6k phillips h1 so i might as well just get another 6k and call it a day. The lights are very concentrated. YOu can even see the cutoff line in the trees. I will need to properly align before i seal them. I also considered hooking up a switch to the inner Projectors so i can switch between single and duals. Dont judge the whole lighting up the neighborhood just yet. Afterall they are just sitting on the back of my kids powerwheels.

so i heard. The oe supposedly have some super strong adhesive that cant be baked apart. Ive read that the only way in is to Cut. I think Dwdrummer (sp) did his set awhile ago

 

[soulsea]

Oh crap ... I'm gonna have to call him and let him know.
Looks like I'm gonna need yet another freakin' set!
You have a linkie for the ones you bought?

No shit ... I might have to reconsider the upshot of this mod.

That or just have him do it on the angel eyes.

Yup, I have the same housings as all other tahoes.
Did the ones you bought look exactly the same as your oem housings?

 

[sumo]
