My HID thread Updated

[04 elantra cvvt]

I recently bought a set of txd's glare shields from Slapshotman7, and they looked exactly the same as the ones that I had made.... So, I redesigned them, and I like the results.

The top half of each pic is the BEFORE, and the bottom half is the AFTER:

BTW, thanks a lot to Corey (Slapshotman7) for the quick and speedy shipping. Everything worked out great.

And here is a new Driver's seat pic:

lookin good - gotta love quality night time illumination :)

kinda makes me wanna get my headlights changed over to HID.

question if i may tho?
when you flick on your highbeams, are they still the standard factory globes, or have you changed them to HID too?
and
does the highbeam make much difference if its still the factory globe?

The highbeams are factory, and, the only thing I see when I turn them on is YELLOW. Also, there is a little more light projected toward the street signs, but as far as more light output??? No.

What temperature are your HIDs? I know what you mean about seeing yellow from the high beams. Its really bad with mine but even the Crystal Blue Eurolites look yellow compared the 8000K.

They are pretty much the same as the first ones. The only difference is that they are a little taller on the sides, and I made a couple of angles. That way, they actually follow the bulb, but don't go to far into the light path.

They are 6000k. I like the OEM color a lot better for some reason.

Look great man, glad that you received them. If you have to drive a different car now you'll be like "****, I can't see a damn thing go get some HIDs!!"

I know exactly what you are saying. I drove my wife's Sonata the other night, and I wanted to pull over and clean the lenses. Then I realized that the car is clean! :) I will be getting some for her car soon...

OEM is between 4200 and 4300K..6000K is a bit bluer.

Oh well... I meant I am just not a fan of the super blue lights. That is only my .02 though.
