I'm In This is our 2008 Rab with 5000k Bi-Xenon Kit from Jon_To
Yes, there is glare, but its not as bad (*deadly*) as it's made out to be.
If I could find a pair of projectors that looked good, and I had the extra money for it, I would definitely get some. They are the best way to go with HIDs, but the pNp kits do work better than the stock lights for a good price.

High Beam

 

I don't see much of a difference between the low and high beam, similar to the pNp kit I used for a short period. They both have a lot of glare, more-so for the high beam just because it misses the focal point of the reflector by an even worse margin than the low-beam position. I wouldn't want to drive toward you haha.

 

Well, don't ever come to Alaska lol, there are tons of vehicles with pNp kits, probably cuz It's so dark here in the winter...

 

Ah but I've been to Alaska, beautiful country and the fishing is unreal during spawning season. Why people would use pNp kits is beyond me, if only they would realize how poorly their blue lights perform in precipitation of any kind... Tons of people around here have them too.

 

my Bi-xenon HIDs are great, However, i think i may have orientated them incorrectly.
Low beam reaches narrow and far while high beam is wide yet not far at all, maybe half the distance of low. bulbs upside down or something? my stock High Beams lit up the trees too, but the HIDs are pretty low. Yes i did do a vertical light alignment, but not a horizontal adjustment as i do not know how (92 f150). Ideas?

 

Could be upside down. Might just be that the bulb completely misses the focal point of your reflectors. I could take a look at it if I do end up going to Chico this weekend (50/50 right now)

 

After hours and hours of research and what not I finally found this thread and I am glad that I did. Since I would like to keep my truck legal and not kill people driving the other direction I decided I am not going to install HIDs in the stock housings. So that leaves me with the retro fitting and buying projector housings. I am not a fan of the retro fitting because a) I don't have that kind of patience and it would be my luck I would screw it up b) I doesn't seem any cheaper than getting new housings. My question is: is getting whole new housing going to make me happy? I guess thats not a fair question but I guess what I am saying is it going to give me that nice clean cutoff line and not blind drivers going the other direction? Specifically I am looking at these housings: http://www.jmautoracing.com/20092010...k-p-37280.html
but I am scared because all the other housings I have found are $400+. Can I get some opinions of people who have been there? And the housing does not come with an HID kit, i don't think. So once I get the housings in I will get the HID kits a little farther down the line.

 

To be honest, those aftermarket projectors are designed for halogen lamps and will still glare with HIDs installed, although maybe not as bad as the stockers. The output beam from those aftermarket projectors is often pretty weak, not very wide and just not a great performing lighting system. Retro-fitting takes time but you can do it for $350 (like I did).

 

question i removed my drl fuse due to the flickering issue but now my fog lights dont work how do i make them work again? its on a 2001 f150

 

sorry i missed this, havent been on on a computer in a few days.
i tried turning them over, but got impacient as the truck was on, i was on the side of my road, etc etc. i think you're right though, as the lens just isnt suited for the extra awesomeness
