This link. Look "Crazyhawk" AKA deautokey. Take your gimmik of a product elsewhere. If you want to push your product here, become a supporting vendor. I'm sure the forum admins will be perfectly content with it, seeing as you have these model specific products for Subarus. Oh. Nevermind. You don't. So, why are you wasting everyone's time? Including your own. Even if these did work as claimed, you don't have them for ANY Subaru. On top of that, the coating will burn off in a matter of weeks. Then, you're right back in the same place again. Please inform yourself better before making and pushing a product

I doubt the coating is going to burn off, as you're the only one to say this. I have no financial interest in this company. I'm not pushing this product. This product is designed to replace an H7 or H11 halogen bulb in a reflector housing, for any branded vehicle. Don't speak for everyone (wasting time). They can make their own judgment.
I was attracted to this kit do to the cutoff line. With a standard H11 HID kit the headlights must be lowered. This lowers the high beams making them useless. Quote:

Here you are, continuing to be ignorant. How about actually reading the links that I've posted. I've wasted my time paying the same respect to you. I'm not the only one that has said it. A few have. Ask people t Hidplanet.com about it. They'll say the same. For someone with no financial interest, you sure push a lot. I love TRS and Lightwerkz due to their great work and customer service. I still don't push them like you're pushing the gimmik. There is no judgment. This isn't a mattet of opinion. It's a matter of the facts that you're too ignorant to realize or even try to find. You were attracted to a gimmik. Lowering the aim of PNP does nothing. It doesn't stop the glare. It doesn't fix the hotpots. It does fix the ruined depth perception. The same goes for this shortened and coated gimmik. It fixes absolutely nothing |

I first posted on this thread on May 19, 2009 #338. I just bought a 2009 Impreza with halogen projector low beams. I had an HID kit installed at that time. I’ve had no problems with it. There are hot spots. I don’t think they are visible in the pictures. I haven’t had depth perception problems, as the lights are not overpowering in brightness. Shortening and coating reduces the source of the light.
I have yet to be flashed, as my lights do not enter other vehicles windows. Lightwerkz wants $1,100 to do the job. The headlights might be tied up for a week. My shop charges $60 to install a kit. Quote:

People don't flash for 2 reasons. First, it won't solve the problem. They know you're a dumbass that's too cheap and stupid to do anything right. Second, it only increases the danger of the situation. What's the benefit of two oncoming drivers both being blind? None. The coating helps nothing, again. I didn't say you had to go to Lightwerkz. You pay for quality work. Take your cheap, lazy, uneducated ass to TRS. Go to the Closeouts section. You can hav a full Morimoto kit for less than $250. Install it yourself(Morimoto Mini projectors are so easy to install that even your stupid ass should be able to do it) |

I owned a 2001 Audi A4 for 8+ years with factory HID low beams.
They weren't that much better than the kit. Going adhominem by calling me stupid and cheap wouldn't win you any points in a debate. Quote:

Comment to the general reader of this thread. (hopefully not to confuse the issue even more) If you haven't made a choice, please note that lighting upgrade is quite nuanced.
I'd be careful with using our subjective impression of the reflected (or even worse, direct) light as means to determine whether an upgrade is truly an upgrade or not. It's even worse if it is based on a few comparison pictures without properly controlling the location, ambient lighting, equipments used, and camera settings. Even with that, it can still be controversial: Which one is better? (same 35W ballast type, same D2S bulb type, same bulb age, fixed camera setting, taken within minutes of each other, after the proper bulb warmup has elapsed; both are projectors with properly aligned cutoff) Another location: Given the choice, left (1st one) or right (2nd one)? Is the left one a lot better? Which one allows you to see farther (and not blind oncoming traffic)? What is the proper intensity gradient of a low beam that is useful? What are areas where "brighter is better" applies without limit vs. there is an upper limit beyond which becomes counter productive? How do those road shots compare to wall shots? That mild looking foreground on the left unit (as seen on the wall), when projected onto the horizontal road surface, translates to a much brighter appearance. That stronger hotspot on the right unit (as seen on the wall) appears to do nothing in the road shots. In real freeway driving, the left unit doesn't buy me much distance lighting beyond what low beams from other vehicles traveling on the same direction gives me, whereas the right unit allows me to spot objects ahead much earlier than the left unit. Yet, the left unit always makes me feel more "comfortable" driving in residential areas. <-- still learning new things since dealing with aux lighting upgrades circa 2002, & HID projector retrofit circa 2011 |

1: you have some serious vision issues 2: you're talking about projectors from 15 years ago. Most car manufacturers hadn't even touched HIDs at this point. The development was lacking I still wish you'd take all of these statements to Hidplanet.com and see what they have to say. You're apparently afraid to have more people that have done their research prove you wrong |

Audi is a quality company. Lenses have been around for hundreds of years. Nothing new in the physics of reflecting and refracting light has occurred. There is now laser headlights on the horizon.
I have a good friend who is an ophthalmologist. He took the pictures in the 2009 post, and likes the lighting. Quote:

HID projectors have only been around since the 90s. They became popular among car manufacturers in the mid 2000s, but still weren't great. I never said anything was wrong with Audi. I know they make quality cars, most of the time. That's fine. I'm done with you. Enjoy your Chinese crap. Just don't be surprised when someone chases you doen, follows you home, then busts out your headlights because they're pissed that you're blinding them every day on the way to and from work. |

You learn new things every day. No matter your profession, you'll never know everything. I wish more people would do their own research on products before they buy them. Especially things such as lighting that are a safety concern, not only for the driver, but for everyone else around them too |

Perhaps someone in here knows:
A have a GR STI with OEM HIDs. I don't care about looks, I just want better light (like the E-class I drove in Germany last yr). Pro-lightz is trying to tell me that the Morimito Mini D2s 3.0 is leaps and bounds better then my OEM projector. Obviously they allow HID high beams as well. Given the same bulbs and ballasts, are they actually that much better (it either costs a lot of $ or a lot of time to retro-fit these HID fixtures into my car, which already has HID lows)??? Anyone with actual experience with both the GR STI OEM HIDs and the 3.0 (not 2.0) version of the Morimito Mini D2s? Thanks |

The Q5-R are based on the OE projectors in Audi Q5. Unlike the Mini D2S 2.0, the 3.0 has a beefier solenoid mechanism and a beam pattern that is quite decent in terms of having a good low beam hotspot without excessive foreground. I don't think there's such a thing as a universally superior projector, as each of them trade off low beam distance reach, high beam, low beam width, foreground, and size, among many things. Compared to the many Q5-R variations, the Mini D2S 3.0 comes with a threaded base. This is a carryover feature of TRS' Mini series projectors, useful when installed in a compatible headlight housing with OE reflectors. I've seen Q5-Rs that don't come with a threaded base, just like the OE Q5 projectors. Since your OE headlight comes with low beam projectors, unless you want to try to fit a projector on your halogen high beam location, there really is no benefit to having a threaded base. That is not to say that the Mini D2S 3.0 is not a good choice. |

I have a set of vers 7 black HID jdm that was on the 2002 WRX Canadien when i bought it. Since the begening the driver HID light is ok for the first min then it shut down. It looks like the passenger HID is brighter too. The passenger side is always ok. Never shut down. When it does shut down I do flash the high beam then turn back to the low and it stay on for a min again before closing again.
I change the light arm on the steering column. I did unplug the DRL connector under the dash. I did change the HID square box. ( to a Nissan same JDM HID box) I check the connection and everything look ok. I may pull everything and start from scratch. But before I will like to know if there s anything I could have miss? Or do to better diagnosed what is the issue. Thx |

So I may get yelled at for this, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around all these different set-ups for lighting, so I'm just going to ask specifically for me, and hope someone can help me out.
I'm looking to get the nice, white lights that I think HID's offer on my 2008 Impreza. I'm not looking for the nice xenon lights that you find in Mercedes and Lexus. As far as I've understood, I should be able to get the Morimoto HID system from prolightz and install the ballast directly into my headlights, since I have the marble bulb? Please correct me if i'm wrong, so I don't become that ******* on the road blinding other drivers. |
