aftermarket HID owners, need feedback
I have owned the JDM hid kit for the past 2 years/24000 miles. I am happy with the product, but I have a concern and wonder if others could share their experience.
My concern is that I am on my 4th hid bulb replacement. It seems the bulbs(6000k JDM HID) only last about 6months or so before they burn out. I assume this is normal, because I have talked with others who have aftermarket kits and some say the same thing. So the feedback I am looking for is how long do your HID setups last? what brand do you use? maybe if one brand lasts longer than another, I can just buy different bulbs... what does everyone think? |

Re: aftermarket HID owners, need feedback
I got my low beam HIDs in Feb 06 and my fogs in June 06. Both sets are JDM 6000Ks. I have not had to replace a bulb yet. I have my fogs on at all times that I am driving. I'm not sure why yours are burning out so often. These are supposed to be long term bulbs.

Re: aftermarket HID owners, need feedback
Try to run a set of relays to your HIDs and see if it helps. I have always had a custom wire harness made with relays for all my vehicles and have never had any issues when using relays. The kits that I've used without relays always burned on me. Either ballast went or the bulbs.
Goodluck on your HIDs though. I can't stand to drive a vehicle without HIDs.

Thats true. I have done relays and the power for ballasts goes streight from the battery. Otherwise it blew 140amp fuse when I turned my enginge one with lights in auto!
