[@joseluisruiz3789]

Thank you very much for the video. It is extremely helpful as I am about to install some H13 H13 Xenon HID bulbs with the same highbeam/low beam deal. The video would have used some additional lighting for those dark areas I couldn't see in the video but the whole explanation was excellent! Not even on HID manufacturer websites do they explain how these specific HID kits work so thank you for that. 🙏👍

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Good stuff!!!

[@ToroRossoVR]

My ford fusion has single beam bulbs. Would that mean that I need to get 1 ballast per bulb?

[@brad25ism]

I want to put one of these bulbs in a spot light that would plug into the cigarette lighter outlet. Is it feasible?

[@alexs-zq6ni]

I need more information on the common power and high beam ground, low beam ground like on the 1996 Tacoma. And osram style ballasts.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Here is some info that I was able to find about the wirinig: www.customtacos.com/threads/headlight-wiring-diagram-for-96.122453/ Also, here are the ballasts that we have, the ones from GTR Lighting are a very good option! headlightrevolution.com/headlights/headlight-bulb-upgrades/hid-headlights/hid-ballasts/

[@sheilafrank86]

I have a 2012 ram 1500 and need good lights as I travel for my kids hockey games all winter. My questions are will these work with reflector lights? And if they will what do I do with the old high beam light bulbs? Do I just leave them in or take them out. Thanks in advance

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Hey! Thanks for asking. We're up here in Northern MN so I can relate. We live and breathe hockey. You definitely want better lighting for winter. Low Beam: the 55watt HID conversion kit is the BEST option for your low beam, whether you have projector or reflector housings. It is the brightest bulb and has a great beam pattern. Link to your truck-specific kit: headlightrevolution.com/gtr-lighting-55w-gen-5-pwm-canbus-single-beam-hid-conversion-kit/ High Beam: LEDs bulbs will work better in your high beams because the HIDs have a delayed warm-up time (9-12 seconds) before reaching full brightness. When you flash your high beams on, you want immediate light! Link to your truck-specific kit: headlightrevolution.com/2009-2018-dodge-ram-single-beam-led-9005-high-beam-bulbs-upgrade-putco-silver-lux/ If you have any other questions, let us know. :)

[@HeadlightRevolution]

DJ Prashant DJ PRINCE, thanks for your comment. It sounds like you are trying to do a projector retrofit. This is very common in aftermarket housings. It is possible, but you will need to do some custom wiring.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Yes they do!

[@lincgmc]

I have a question, I connected everything properly and the work, the only thing is the on low they're energize for high beam, and they flicker, what do I need to do, reverse them?

[@dagonGate7]

I retrofit my lights on my 2007 Suzuki swift. Stock plugs are h4 and the projectors I retrofit are H1 bulbs. I bought a h4 relay harness(it uses one h4 plug from driver side and it connects to the battery too),two ballasts and two H1 xenon bulbs. I put everything together and it works fine,except one thing. When I switch on my lights and close them after a while, trying to open them again only drivers headlight came on. If I try on/off several times the passenger side work too. I thought my ballasts are bad and I bought new ones. But still the same. Is that a problem with my relay harness? Do I need a canceller/capacitor?

[@williamchristy257]

So my headlight has one low and one high. I recently retrofitted two low/hi projectors in each headlight and I'm having troubling figuring out my wring. Can I run my low beams in a parallel and hook the ballasts up to the high beam relay to work when I use the headlamp dimmer switch? Thanks!

If you want to get rid of the ballasts, you'd need to convert your whole system to either an LED or Halogen system which can often be a tricky task to do. We'd love to help you with looking into options Peter! Send us an email: [e-mail]

[@crazyndn49]

I haven't scrolled through all the comments, maybe the first half or so... the question I have is that if I wanted to use a stepper type of switch(like adjustment knob) would this affect how far in and out the bulb goes in the housing? Or are they more like an on/off type of thing? I've asked this on another video and haven't gotten a response yet.

[@stevenmartinez1930]

What’s the difference between Gtr lighting harness relays?

[@lazarusrex9545]

do they make bi-xenon d2r bulbs?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

They do not, the low/high function would be a trait of the headlight they are mounted into, not the bulbs themselves.

[@jasonstewart8926]

What do like better h.i.d. kits or led kits ???

[@HeadlightRevolution]

It depends on the vehicle and application. :) Generally, Projectors are best suited for HIDs. Reflectors are best with LEDs.

Thanks for the info and video. I just did install exactly how it was done in this video. My low beams flash on and off, high beams stay on. Any ideas?

Did you do it in a 2004 RAM like the one we showed here? If so, we found this RAM needs a little extra help to make it work correctly. We made a second video, much like the one here, but made it especially for this specific RAM, take a look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp_HiGqrftpqe5Y Pay close attention to one of the last steps in the video I linked.

[@jefftomlinson3501]

I installed my kit the same way but one of the bulbs was working now it is not and I can't get both of them to work at the same time. What is causing this?

[@alexpazzi7465]

Hello sir, i have a question, how to instal h4 bulb if i have h7 wires from my car?

[@delaccnt86]

Hi. Are the Xenon kits (of each manufacturer) essentially the same? By that I mean that can you install a particular kit in a car with H4 bulbs, and then later remove the kit from the H4 car and install to another car (that takes H1 bulbs) with putting H1 bulbs?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

The only component that would be able to be used in multiple applications with different bulbs would be the ballasts. The HID bulbs and relay harnesses have to be used in conjunction with the same bulb type that the vehicle has. So if it takes an H4, you'll need H4 bulbs and a relay harness. The ballasts are universal and can be used in any application.

[@delaccnt86]

@ @@HeadlightRevolution, Oh ok. My car's stock headlamps (reflector headlamps) take H4 bulbs and I currently have an H4 bi-xenon kit installed. The reason I ask is because I plan on putting new "angel eyes" headlamps (these headlamps I found for my car take H1 bulbs). So, besides the H1 bulbs that I will need to purchase, will I need a relay harness too, or is it different case with the H1 xenon kit?

[@brandonwright2067]

Go it, One last question on my 2016 Chevy sonic I tried using my HIDs they would not work I was told is due to low voltage they flicker and turn off so if I tried using LED headlights would I run into the same issue

[@HeadlightRevolution]

brandon wright It sounds like your vehicle has a canbus system that monitors and controls your lighting. A lot of newer vehicles have this and a traditional LED or HID set up just doesn't cut it. For your Sonic we would recommend this kit with an H11 bulb headlightrevolution.com/gtr-lighting-55w-gen-5-pwm-canbus-single-beam-hid-conversion-kit/

If you are running a dual beam HID system, then yes we would recommend getting the correct relay harness.

I have bmw z4 2005 with factory HID but it work in different way , the magnet movement its produced from the headlight assembly so the lamp its not dual . And now i am ordering a new aftermarket headlights that have not this technologies my question is : if i put a h4 led lamp how can i convert the signal from magnet system that coming from car to 24V and wire it on the hight beam pin of the h4 lamp .

[@davidjenkins1568]

Yeah they don't tell you that high beam bi-xenon hid bulbs scatter light instead of focusing it further down the road. The adjusting light would be a a good idea, if it worked..

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Actually, the dual beam HIDs are used in an application where only one bulb is used for the low beam and the high beam. Whatever that factory bulb would have done, the high beam will reflect the same since they are the same bulb in the same position! Let us know if you need anything else!

[@davidjenkins1568]

Actually your wrong. Because if the hid bulb did the same thing as a factory halogen/ incandescent bulb, it would have 2 chambers inside the bulb where light would emit from, (which are both very close in a halogen) and they both would emit at the same time on high beams. The fact that both filaments on a h13 incandescent bulb light up on high beams, and the hid h13 bulb itself actually moves in is not the same, and does not act the same as a normal halogen. Like i said, it would be a neat trick, if it actually worked

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Hey, I reserve the right to be wrong! But in all seriousness, we have tested these kits in many different vehicles, and in our testing we have found that there ARE certain housings that HIDs just do not perform as well in. That said, in the majority of headlights we tested these in, the solenoid in the HID bulb did a fantastic job at replecating the factory high beam beam pattern. I am not saying that they will be the most amazing upgrade in every housing, but for the most part they do a fantastic job at replacing the factory halogens!

Fresh Prince: You can tap into a 12v power source under your hood. Most newer cars have a fuse box under hood that you can use to tap power for the harness. I have a video on my channel that shows this. Search my channel for Lincoln HID.

[@flyurway]

There's too much I don't understand about these HID kits. Why do they usually only do low beam? That makes no sense at all. What about the fact that HID's are supposed to use a projector and not a reflector...but 99%of them still use the reflector, even complete kits that replace the entire existing headlight assys? Why is it so hard to find answers to these questions in the first place????

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Andork, I'm not 100% sure I understand all of your points but I'll try to answer some: 1. Why do they usually only do low beam? --- What do you mean? We have kits that do low beam and high beam. It's easy to do both. Even on dual beam HID kits like in this video, it will do your low beam and high beam in HID. 2. What about the fact that HID's are supposed to use a projector and not a reflector ---- Technically there are many OEM headlights that use a reflector housing paired with an HID system. It's more common to see an HID system run in conjuction with a projector housing, but not all the time. When you're doing an HID conversion kit in a reflector housing you are going away from how it was intended to be used, an HID in a halogen reflector housing, but they still work pretty good. 3. Even complete kits that replace the entire existing headlight assys? --- I'm thinking you're talking about when you buy an aftermarket housing from somewhere and they throw in an HID converison kit. It's all the same as #2. Proper HID projector headlights cost way more to make and people want everything for free nowadays so almost nobody makes anything decent like what you're talking about because noone will buy it... Check out Starr HID when you get a chance. DOT approved, aftermarket housings with HID systems and projectors.

[@flyurway]

Thanks for the reply. I've been mulling the idea of a conversion with my Avalanche (9005, 9006 bulbs) but going online and actually finding something even as simple as a "FAQ" page that explains the basics and separates myth from facts is easier said than done, everyone just wants to sell shit. There is a lot of debate over what works best, what doesn't work at all and what's even legal. That's before getting into the debate over beam patterns plus there's a LOT of aftermarket kits out, and, as we all know, some are good, some...not so much! I hate buyers remorse and if I ever take the plunge I want to do it just once, so, thx again.

Why couldn't a guy just wire the ballast to the low beam wire (which is always on on my vehicle) and connect the solenoid to the high beam wire. Simple no relay needed . Am I wrong? Thanks.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

You definitely can, but most OEM Wiring harnesses are not equipped to run HID from the factory so an HD relay harness is always the safest option since it pulls power directly from the vehicle's battery versus the OEM wiring harness.

Another truck that'll b blinding drivers with their HID's smh. If your gonna run HID's then do it the right way! Do a headlight retrofit! Or don't do it at all. Adding projectors to your headlights with HID's will not only give you better light output then just installing HID's on your halogen headlights but it will keep you from blinding other drivers. I always do retrofits on my cars if they don't already come with factory xenon projectors.

Retrofits are the way to go for sure, but for those not wanting to dive deap into that, as long as they alight the bulbs and aim the headlights properly, they shouldnt be blinding oncoming traffic at all!
