Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

Hey guys here is an update for what?s going. I talked to Ben today. The Classic Headlights shipment is being held up in Customs for a week. So that means they were originally supposed to ship today, but now there is a week delay.

The moderns are in so i am going to just switch my order to them. They will be shipped out today. If these fit and everything is ok, would anyone be interested in buying the Modern Set from me since i really want the Classics since they are DOT compliant???

Ben stated it?s hard to sell a used pair as new if i returned the Moderns so i figured someone on here would snatch them up and i would then just go and buy the Classics later when they are in.

I should have them next tues or weds and ill install them that night.

I also bought 9007 to H4 adapters incase i need it for the wiring and trying to cover all anticipated snags. Not sure if it?s needed, but i want to cover all bases. If these work, it is a hell of a buy even if you might need the adapter as the closest HIDs are 700 dollars more.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

Hey Guys sorry for delay, got busy with the Holiday,

Here goes....

You will have to remove your grill to access and remove stock headlight.
The Headlight will fit but will need slight modification to the housing by way of dermal or similar device to make room for wiring (See Pic 2). You will also need an adapter 9007 to H4 (See Pic 3/4), other than that wiring is straight forward and works for both low and high beam.

The light distribution is good and is very bright but does have a very distinct cut off as seen in the photos. I did have the headlight in the stock housing with pics from last week but somehow my Droid X did not save them so i just took these tonight of the light pattern.

I am sending back my Moderns tomorrow and having the Classics sent out which are now in stock. If you are handy it shouldn?t be a problem to install these... you definitely will need the 9007/H4 adapter and some modification to the housing.

I got my adapter kit from Summit Racing and is made by Delta and they are the only ones who make a direct adapter for a Hummer H2. This should work too... http://www.teakatoys.com/HUMMER_H2_S... /tl-96630.htm


If you guys still want to do group buy, let me know and i will have him set up that special website for us. I know the adapter is an added cost so just give me a general consensus of what you guys think.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

we haven`t heard from you in a while.How`s the lights working out?I`m still interested in a set.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

I actually just got them installed last night and was gonna do a write up later today. I've got to adjust them and test them tonight driving and ill put up a post. Sorry for the delay, I just got the classics by ups friday night. Ill include pictures later too!

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

Hi thanks for the update, i really want to hear what you think of them and some pictures.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

The classics look very nice and have no problem fitting as you can see. They look pretty sweet. The light was ok but i was a little underwhelmed when driving with their performance. I talked to Ben and we did an experiment by me using my 55 watt ballast that i already had instead of the 35 watt that came with the set. As you can see from the 5th picture down, the LHL had 55watt ballast vs RHL with 35 watt. The 6th picture down has both headlights with 55watt Ballast. I think these headlights def need the 55watt ballast to put enough light to be good. The HID light was supposed to be 6000k but they were way too blue when driving and were not good especially with snow around. I think the HIDs i got were actually more 10000k. When i was testing them briefly last night it was snowing and the headlights got covered with snow and alot of the light was blocked and it seemed like i had no headlights. I had to flip on my Rigid LEDs which kick ass! I feel like the Modern HIDs i had first had a bigger lens and the light output seemed stronger. As stated before my motivation for the Classics were they are DOT approved.
What i learned is they 100% DO FIT, you need H4-9007 Adapter and I think you need a 55 watt ballast to be considered good for the classics. If you don’t care about DOT compliance, then i think Moderns are the way to go. Obviously the color does matter of the light, 5000-6000k being the ideal colors. I am undecided if i am going to keep these or return them. I am not crazy about having to modify them to make them good. Please message me with any questions.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

So for anyone wondering or thinking, the Group Buy is definitely still a go if there is enough interest. The Moderns are definitely good and available. You can order them in Flat Black or High Gloss. We are working on upgrading the Classics . The Classics are completely brand new and I was like one of first to test them out. Ben is getting a package together for me to test which includes 5000k Light, 55 watt ballast and we are replacing the headlights I got as the lens in the left Headlight was possibly defective from manufacture. I am going to work with him and give this upgrade a shot. If this works which i am sure it will, then we would have a special Hummer Package available to us when we order with 55 Watt Ballast. If you intend on getting a set, would you guys want the H4 Adapter included or would you guys just buy on your own? You can PM or reply to get an idea of how many still want the Moderns or want to hold out till I test upgraded Classics.

I know this has taken some time and trust me I just want a darn set now and be done with it, but I want to make sure everything is right. Anything is better than the putrid stock halogens, so i really want to work to make this right.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

My vote is a package with the adaptor and all.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

are the rigid spot or flood thanks bob

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

They are spot! Work really well, love them. Made custom brackett 2 bolt 2

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

are drl housings stock thanks bob

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

any pictures of the bracket you made thanks bob

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

Stock drl, ill take shots of the bracket. Eventually I want to replace my daytime running lamps with the delta high intensity replacement kit. I think it's like model 46h or something

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

I was looking at the delta 46h, but bought a nice projector kit from hid planet for 170 shipped and will install in the stock housing ,i will let you know how it turns out http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/album.php?albumid=238 link for an install on a volvo thanks bob

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

Interesting, let us know how it works out!

For those still interested in group buy, would you guys feel more comfortable or want Ben from TrueProjectorHeadlights to come on forum and answer any questions or get things rolling for buy? I know as stated before the Moderns are very good and Classics just need to be ordered with 55 watt Ballast as their light output was very very good with the higer powered ballast vs 35watt. I was dissapointed at first with lightout put of classics but during testing the 55 watt made a world of difference. Let me know and i can get him on here to help out.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights

I talked to Ben at trueprojectorheadlights.com back a few months ago and I've been looking at this kit for a while...I think I will go ahead and order now since they have been officially tested on an H2.
:clapping: :excited:

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

So can we still order the "modern" version? Its basically the same thing with a led ring around the projector right? I have HID's in the stock lamps and i think i've finally blinded all of my neighbors so it's time to switch it up. LOL. Can they be ordered with a 55W bulb? I'd like to order a set asap! I really don't care so long as they work.. What was the hang up with the modern version again?? The classics look pretty good on your truck so I'm in for either.. Let's get it rolling.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

You can Order either Set with an upgraded Ballast of 55watt or keep the orginal ballast of 35watt. The Moderns are great and the classics need the upgraded ballast for sure. I currently have the classics with 55watt ballast and am waiting for a 5000k bulb to be dropped shipped to test out. I personally perfer the pure white color vs a tint of blue that 6000ks give and i think for weather we get here in cleveland the 5000k is better. I recently also bought a pair of moderns as well.

I also had HID bulbs in stock headlights, and while the light was amazing , it was highly illegal and i blinded everyone. What i did to really appreciate HIDs in general was put stock halogens back in for a few days and its like you dont even have headlights. These headlights do a good job of putting the light to the road, they are not going to light up everything a mile wide infront of you, but that is why we have all our off road lights for that. They are flat out better than stock and for 300ish if we do group buy or 365 if you buy on own, i think its best bet to upgrade to HIDs and staying pretty much legal and not blinding everyone.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

I'll buy your moderns if you don't want them anymore..

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and call BS on this.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

[ehaser: I'll buy your moderns if you don't want them anymore.. ]


Once i get them in and if I decide i dont want them or wont use them, ill def let you know and sell them to you no problem!

Rich

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

Richard,

How do you like those rigid LEDs? Why did you choose the spot beam over the flood beam?

Can you post a night time picture maybe with the regular headlights on with the LEDs at the same time and maybe a picture of just the LEDs on the road at night? Thanks!

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

Yeah for sure ill post some pics. I prob wont be able to do it til Sunday since ill be out of town but ill get some up at night and how its mounted. I love them and soon as I can drop another couple grand on my truck im prob gonna put their 50 inch bar up top and possible 10 or 20 incher in spot below grill .

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

For those waiting to see MODERNS installed, here they are, Just swapped out my classics for MODERNS. They are really growing on me now and i think they have better spread of light! I have 55w ballast with 5000k Bulb in them. I dont have any night shots yet as it is just turning dark here now.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

I'm not sure if I like the bug eyed look of the modern style so I'm going with the classics with 55W ballast and 6000K bulb.

Re: Group Buy for HID Bi-Xenon Headlights
 

Sorry to revive an old thread but did this ever happen? I'm looking for a HID upgrade for my 2005.
