uuupppppppp.......

[chiz]

mka lagot jud nang mgka sugat nimo nya nka highbeam pa jud.. nya HID ang headlight.. tsk tsk tsk.. para naku mga ignorante manang mag highbeam nya naa sa syudad.. di rba kasabot kung imong blinkeran.. patuyang las gibati.. paila lng jud mga way simenar..

sakto gyud ka boss.. dili diay na dakpon? diba maka cause mana ug desgrasya kay ma blinded ang kasugat?

[daddie]

durable? depends on the manufacturer or kind.
expensive? a bit expensive but it last longer than the conventional bulbs.
cool? it is
legal? i dont think so. some cars are already using oem hid

[Eiso]

asa ta mag pa align sa atong mga headlights??

Halogen head lamps – is an incandescent head lamp in which a tungsten filament is sealed into a compact, transparent envelope filled with an inert gas, plus a small amount of halogen such as iodine or bromine. The brightness of a halogen bulb can be increased by increasing the power or wattage of the bulb white maintaining its color temperature (Kelvin).

Standard power: High beam 60 watts
Low beam 55 watts
Standard color temperature: Yellowish 3,000 to 4,500 kelvin

Halogen headlamps have been in use for motor vehicles for more than 20 years already. Although halogen headlamps have the same color temperature or kelvin rating, it can still be dangerous to oncoming traffic if it is too bright or when bulbs of 100 watts is used and when headlight alignment or aim is incorrect.

H.I.D. or High Intensity Discharge head lamps – is a type of bulb that uses an arc tube containing xenon gas, mercury and metal halide salts. When high voltage is applied between the electrodes, it forces electrons and metal atoms to collide and discharge and release light energy to turn on the bulbs. Unlike halogen bulbs, the brightness of an H.I.D. bulb can vary by changing the color temperature (Kelvin) while maintaining its power or wattage.

Standard power: 35 watts
Standard color temperature: Yellowish white to white (4,500 to 5,000 kelvin)

Color Temperature – measured by Kelvin, is a variation of light that is emitted by the bulbs and is characterized by its color. As the kelvin rating increases, the color of the light emitted changes. Variations of color temperature are as follows:


3,000 kelvin > amber yellow
4,300 kelvin > fog yellow
5,000 kelvin > mid yellow
6,000 kelvin > daylight white
8,000 kelvin > zirconium white or bluish white
10,000 kelvin > sapphire blue
12,000 kelvin > turquoise blue
14,000 kelvin > amethyst purple
16,000 kelvin > topaz pink
18,000 kelvin > emerald green
25,000 kelvin > tanzanite blue


The trend
The more pressing concern is the present trend of vehicles using H.I.D. headlamps. Because of its benefits such as low power consumption and safety, more manufacturers in Japan, Europe and the United States are now using the H.I.D. technology for new vehicles. However, the safety of these headlights will be limited if a rating of 6,000 kelvin or more will be used. A rating of 6,000 kelvin or more can be dangerous to oncoming traffic and even to the driver and passenger of the vehicle using it since the color temperature no longer applies to varying road conditions during fog or rain. During these conditions, light coming from an H.I.D. bulb of more than 6,000 kelvin scatters and would no longer penetrate rain or fog. Most manufacturers now are using HID headlamp ratings of not more than 5,000 kelvin to keep it safe in varying road conditions.

This trend of manufacturers using HID headlamps is being followed by accessories suppliers who sell HID headlamps of more than 5,000 kelvin with varying colors of white, blue, and purple with higher kelvin ratings to make it more trendy and attractive but dangerous to the motoring public. The problem is aggravated when a headlamp designed for a halogen bulb is replaced with an HID bulb since the focus and aim of the headlight beam is altered.

Regulation
Total ban of the H.I.D. headlamps may not be the solution since the worldwide trend is now towards the use of H.I.D. bulbs and other lighting technology that offer high illumination with low power consumption. Regulation on headlamp bulb installation and the prohibition of the supply of HID bulbs of 6,000 kelvin or more would be more prudent.

To enforce such regulation, the city may want to consider training traffic enforcers in identifying vehicles using HID bulbs with high kelvin ratings. It would also be a great contribution to the safety of the motoring public if the motor vehicle inspection system of the Land Transportation Office would inspect headlight alignment for both the halogen and HID headlights.

y man dakop ni xa usahay sa motorcycle but sa awto dli lage ni dakopon?

[J_AIRBUS3XX]

sa ako observation mas sulaw ang sa motorbikes kaysa car. i dunno kng sa angle ba, murag 12k ilang gipanggamit. kasagaran mao jud na

[ite]

where ta ka buy og projector na pang motorcycle? kana mo sakar ra sa housing.

[gurkhaman]

kanang mga people na nag lagod sa mga HID owners, suya lang mo, ayaw mo pag binogo. If maka sugat mo ug mag cars wid HID, ayaw mo totok sa suga. tan.aw lang sa road. dli man na samok if dli lang mo mo stare directly sa light.

[pintado]

ikaw ang ga binogo. mu scatter gani ang suga kung way projector. unsaon nimo pag tutok sa kalsada kung silaw kaayo. d kailangan mu tutok sa suga para masilaw ug ngano gud tawn mu tutok man sa suga. pangita ug naka hid nga way projector especially mga suv human pakigsugat. d pud na sa magsugat lang. kanang naay mag sunod nimo nga ga hid.. suwaw kaayo sa imo rear view mirror.

ngano ikasuya man nang hid? d na angay ikasuya bai kay kung makapalit kag awto unsa nalang kaha nang hid.
