okay, right now I just have my JDM's wired up so that the outer H4's, only 1 of the filaments is being used as a low bean, and the inner h1 is the high beam (totally worthless). So anyway, i'm ready to order a Philips h4 HID kit, but I want to know how I can wire the H4's so that both filaments are used, so I don't have to pay for both an h4 & h1 kit. I did a search, but all I came up w/ was a post that said "It seems like you would have to use relays" and that was it. so....do you have to use relays? can I just wire both usdm positive wires to the bulb & splice both grounds together? or would that screw things up?

 

bump

 

I'll try doing some homework for ya man

 

thanks man!

 

If you put HIDs in the jdm headlights they will not look like the new cars. The JDM headlight housings are reflectors not projectors. Basically it will look like the cheap blue headlight bulbs do only a bit brighter. My friend got them and IMHO its not worth the money. Get some silverstars and aim your headlights. Mine are bright as all hell Especialy with fog lights.

 

did you wire the dual filament to operate fully? or are you using the H1's for high beams? Also, are silverstars seriously the brightest reflector style bulb? what about PIAA's, or Raybrig's?

 

If you wire the bulbs so the H4 bulb has both filaments on it will be a bit brighter but there will be nasty glares all over. Im not sure if Silverstars are the brightest or not but they are know to not blow out as quck as piaa and such. I put alot of time in making a relay and stuff so I could use the h4 bulbs as high beams as well and it just isnt worth it. They dont realy get much brighter because when you have high beam bulbs you dont want the little cutoff shield. Look at the middle lights they have no sheild. This lets the light go everywhere rather the outer lights or low beams has the sheild which cuts the light off so you dont blind the shit out of everyone. if you have any more questions hit me up on aim mypreludesi92.

 

on my old jdm housing i have install the 3.2 T.L. hid kit... having to do lots of mod to the bulbs itself, in the end it turn great. it didnt give out that bright nasty straight up blue color, it gave that nice looking purple T.L. HID. i like it and enjoy it along with all my other friends. great coms. but do as u wish. wish that i still had that car...but its R.I.P 7.3.03.
