xenonsupply.com - H.I.D. kit. My personal review.

Same thing just ordered! And some LED's for the other lights inside the car and the parking lights. I'm thinking I'm going to buy 5000k bulbs as well and see which I like best. I'll take pics of all three comparisons once I try them all out.

 

Curious to see the 5000K and 4300K together. I honestly think the 5000K are a perfect fit. Can't wait Austin5.

 

If you're going to replace the running/parking lights with LEDs then go with the 5000K HIDs because it's almost impossible to find 4300k LEDs for the running/parking lights. It's much easier to find 5000k LEDs that will color match the 5000k HID's.

 

Where are you ordering the LEDs from?

Also, do you have a parts list/links for the bulbs you are replacing and the LEDs you selected?

2pcs 31mm 12-SMD 1.25" 12V Festoon Dome Light LED Bulbs + STICKER DE3175 DE3022 DE3021 3175 - White:Amazon:Automotive

Cheap!! One of the 10 bulbs did not work, but oh well. Order both these and you'll have exactly what you need..

I replaced the map lights, parking lights on the front of the car, license plate lights, and door assist lights. ((first link))... annddd trunk light/rear vanity light ((the second link))

 

I have a question for everyone that installed hid on there prius. My question is, if anyone is experiencing any flickering while the light is on. I didnt purchase it from xenonsupply but thinking of going that route. Thanks....

How did you connect your ballasts? Did you wire them directly to the fuse box with a harness/relay, or did you just wire them to the factory headlight connector?

 

Straight to the factory connection.

Xenon supply sent me 6000k bulbs instead of 4300k like I ordered and it petrol in the confirmation email. I'm going to install them for now and see what happens, hopefully I won't get pulled over

 

If you install the 6000k bulbs- they might not take them back.

 

I shouldn't have to pay for return shipping for their mistake, then it will cost them more to return ship, I assume they'll let me keep them if they are like any other online store that makes a mistake like that.

For people wondering stock vs 6000k, heres a pic.
Hard to tell a big difference now because there was snow on the ground a day ago..

Comparison: (LED on left fixed, not dim anymore)

And the compare.....

stock looks brighter.....:0

By the way, install was so easy, except for getting the damn bulbs to go in with that gasket on. They're in though and I'm happy!

 

Just got my 4300K Xenon Supply in the mail, will post as soon as I can find some time to install.

 

Hi all,

Sorry if I am hijacking the thread, but wonder if someone can answer several questions about HID upgrade.

I am looking at several options. The solution from this thread looks like DIY job (although I do not do any mods myself, I might try this). But I want to explorer other options. I have 2011 Prius II.

1. How easy is it to replace parking front lights for LEDs (there is a link on this page to the amazon store)? Do I need to disassemble the headlight? Any instructions? Any special connectors swapping regular lights for LED?

2. If you do the Xenon low beam upgrade from this thread, what do you use as a "flasher"? Not good for the HID to use it that way.

3. I might go for a complete retrofit. Here is what I would want. Bi-xenon, probably with LED halos, (BMW style). Rewire bi-xenons for both hi/low beams. Use rewired my stock high beam as flasher (adjusted down clearly, although most of the time it is used during the day, so should not be an issue. Add HID foglights.
a. Any recommendations as far as the parts? Do not care for the high end Acura or Lexus lights, something mid of the road, but RELIABLE quality?
b. Any ideas how much the work would cost?
c. Any references in Chicago area for a shop that does this well?

Thanks so much.

Sincerely,

Sophie

 

1. LED replace takes 2 minutes. Screw out old light from under the hood, just reach under the headlight and twist, pull out the bulb from that socket, push new light in.

2.You would still use the high beam for your flashers, A "shutter" type led (bi xenon) would require a ton more work, use it only is only a low beam light.

3 I don't know. But everywhere will rip you off as the diy kit in this thread is such an easy upgrade your crazy to pay

 

Thanks Austin5.

As far as the price, I meant not the DIY kit, but complete retrofit, changing projectors, lens.... bi-xenon, fog lights. That would require some serious work, and I wanted to get an idea how much that might cost.

Thanks again.

Well ill get some night 6000k vs 5000k. pics tonight, but for now, heres the 5000k vs 6000k difference, I dont think ill be trying the 4300k at all as they seem too yellow to me.



After using the 6000k for a week (left), even the 5000k looked yellow (right).., but it is MUCH harder to see with the 6000k vs the stock!! All the signs look blue/white in reflection and it feels very illegal to me.

But as you can see in the picture below, compared to the stock high beams, 5000k is still very white, but doesn't have that tint of blue where it looked illegal. I'll see how i like it tonight!
5000k v highbeam stock color.

 

5000k looks good. the pic makes them look a little green though.

 

Most of the extra light looks like glare to me, there is a lot of light in the pic of stock light that is reflecting off the road in front of the car back at you.

The 5k HIDs should be perfect IMO.

 

Bluish white won't get you pulled over. It has to be actual blue that you see on police cars, etc.

 

Either way, driving on the back roads that are paved here, it was awful, super dark!!!
