I tried installing them and the rear housing of the headlight interfered with the linkage of my headlight doors. I thought I was going to have to do some cutting.... Sold the headlights instead to my buddy for his 72 Roadrunner....I bought the Hella H4 housings. Far superior product, all metal rear and all glass up front. Fit perfectly into the headlight buckets. The HIDs fit with MORE than enough room for the linkage to rise/fall...I have 6000K on the Hi/Lo and the Hi Beams I have a yellowish (I goofed) 4000K beam which I will replace sooner or later. I installed a painless wiring harness on the Hi-Beam side....I can't wait to take her out for a drive....the way she lights up the driveway is amazing...I will try to get pictures up soon.... Anyone else done this upgrade to their ride? Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s

Brightness is the amount of light that actually gets sent out from the light fixture. That has to do with how the reflector is designed and adjusted, how well the lamp sends light out, and how the lamp matches to the reflector. Blue light - around 6000K - is extremely annoying to oncoming traffic, and not because of brightness. A 4000k light can be extremely annoying, but only if it is aimed wrong or the lamp doesn't match the reflector. The best light for the human eye is right around 4000K to 4300K. See Dan Stern's discussion sometime over at Allpar.

Problem around here is people don't have them adjusted right. And really unless you are on a back road in the middle of the night there is ZERO need for high beams. Especailly in this area...you can practically drive w/o lights at all and be ok.

It means their headlights are on high beam or maladjusted. Duh. Correct low beams illuminate the trunk in front of you, not the interior. If you can see my illuminated finger, dim 'em dammit!

I'm guessing your lights are annnnnooyying hince the brake check. If somebody creeped up on me with blinding lights, I'd hit the brakes too. You do understand the the human eye is drawn to light, so even if you try and look away from the rear view mirror You still can't help but look. AND our eyes adjust much much faster to light then darkness, so it takes a while to get you night vision back. That's one reason I HATE the new LED tail lights, they are way to bright.

I've wanted to get a 1,000,000 power spot light and flash it at you selfish morons. The law says not to drive over the speed that your headlight allow. That doesn't mean brighter and faster at night.

They have improved over the years and the 2014 Mercedes seem to be a bit easier on other drivers. Naturally, the vehicle buyers love the vision at night. Aftermarket installations are quite different. I have yet to see an installation with properly designed reflectors and lenses. There are tons of bulb kits that stuff HIDs in halogen housings. They are horrible. The reflectors need to be totally different for the HID bulbs. Drivers with these cars enjoy the light because it's scattering all over the place and lighting up the whole neighborhood. Properly designed, they're okay. Sadly, few cars have properly designed lights. Nobody remembers seeing the good ones because they're not memorable. Everybody remembers the bad ones because it generates negative emotions.

Generally, HID conversion bulbs do not sit in the same position within the housing as the halogens the housings were designed for. This causes light to be reflected in directions not originally intended (think of how a Maglight flashlight adjusts the beam from pinpoint to flood). Add in some cheaply made housings and a lack of any attempt to re-aim the lights afterwards and you've got a scattered mess. I have projector housings (with HIDs) in place of the stock driving lights on my lifted truck. The beam cutoff is such that it does not go above the door handle of most cars crossing in front of me at an intersection. I run these and no headlights while in town because although my headlights are still legal height, they are annoying to other drivers when I am behind them. Cheeto It's not perfect. It's not correct. It's not yours!

The light spread is exactly what its supposed to be. The lenses are ribbed and frosted. The HIDs have the block off plate on the bulb so as to not hit the others drivers in the eyes. When there are Lexus SUVs, Land Rovers, Hummers with HIDs and blinding everyone on the road...no one says anything....I drive around other cars which are low to the ground...buckets...

Having said that, your comments regarding "Mr Brakecheck" and "aimed at my knees at 20 feet" could very easily place you in the category I was talking about. Put a stock headlight back in one side, face off to a wall at about 25' and 50' and compare where the light is hitting the wall between the two sides. Not exactly a technical solution but it will give you a good idea of what's going on. Cheeto It's not perfect. It's not correct. It's not yours!

The reflectors are not compatible (regardless of the price or quality of Hella lamp you utilizes...I'm guessing they are the vision plus ECE). It's an optical mismatch. Take it from someone (me) who designed, tested, and manufactured OEM headlamps for several years (for a Hella subsidiary no less). There is a reason the HID retrofits are labeled "for off-highway use only". They do not meet FMVSS/DOT or ECE standards.

I am a tech and Audi and MB gold certified as well as dodge and am trained in them, so they don't surprise me as I'm used to them. But the aftermarket only has one or two that are actually built for hid bulbs. But if they are aimed correctly they pose no problem. Incorrectly adjusted they will blind. And those are the only ones we remember. Kudos on the upgrade.

You all hate HIDs because YOU don't have them. as someone else has already pointed out, they are only annoying to other drivers if they are not adjusted correctly. We're in 2013 folks -- halogen bulbs with a 20 foot reach don't cut it any more. Get with the times... No kidding, isn't it great that he puts up a thread about a modification he has done to his car that he drive IN GREECE and all he gets in return is running up my post count some more .

Can actually see better with those. I don't recommend HIDs on High beams because of the constant on/off nature of high beams will reduce life of the HID bulb. I just have the HIDs in the HiLo...the Hi Beams are just H4s with a relay harness feeding straight off the battery Quote: Quote: LOL...look at all the haters. I'm with Pyper on this one.

Every now and then i will have to do a midnight run or taking a lady out for a night on the town...so i am sorry if my HIDs are blinding you from Eastern Europe.. hahahaha Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s
