Thanks for filling in the blanks Steve.

I may have confused flickering with glaring in senna_T's HID sticky.

alway happy to help

but if you think the 55w are bright

you should see the 160w hid I make for some race 4x4

How much are the 160w kits and do they fit IPF 900XS, I have 55w and they turn the next 1km into day, and the further km into dusk.

Have any photos?

[HID XR]

will get some pic next time the truck come out to play

and yes they make the 55w look like candle

this is true they also mover in and out the very good kit have a filament for low and one for high

steve

With 2 filaments don't they need 2 ballasts?

[HID XR]

I have kits that run 2 filament of the one ballast it is my 35/70 hi/lo kit

would be good if someone made aftermarket replacement which has autolveling and washer for the fg :D

mine just spray everywhere doesnt matter how good you align them due to the reflectors

I'm getting tempted now to put my old HID set in the falcon ... but I'm ashamed at myself at the same time!

I want to see someone do a custom projector mould for the Falcon. In the states, you see custom moulded housings in Corvettes and what not and it doesn't look that hard. Its literally just a mould into the current shaped assembly with a high quality pair of projector housings mounted in the mould... IE, you would make a dummy mould with a dummy set of optics in the mould and then cut it to fit the real deal, allowing for minor focal adjustments at the same time.

With a quality set of optics in the projectors you could make it look fairly sweet, as well as overcome a lot of the "apparent" legalities around HID's...

Put it this way, if you have projectors, most cops haven't the slightest clue about self levelling... And if they're (your lights) focussed correctly then they (cops) won't even look at you twice.

I honestly haven't a clue why no one has done this yet, it really isn't that hard, and as long as you purchase a quality set of optics, you'll have a projected image (the shape and cuttoff sharpness) comparable to a Libery or an Accord Euro... And that, in a Falcon, would be sweet....

PS, I have projectors in my old BG 323 with 55w HID's, but because I'm a perfectionist (its bloody anoying) the focus of my lights does not dazzle anyone, unlike standard Accord Euro's which are set to 0° from the factory (utter morons I swear... You'd think they would have noticed). Always set HID's to around -2° or even -3° below the horizontal, standard halogens should be around -1.5° depending on the distance to the ground from the center of the projection lense (the higher your headlights are off the ground, the more angle you can use for the safety of others, without reducing your beam length too much)....

I have been looking around for a projector housing for my BA for ages. I have seen them for the focus and other ford cars. someone please make this!
