to a degree you can make it better, but the only way to really eliminate most of it is to retro with a clear lens. the diffusive glass lens kind of has a life mission to, well, diffuse light.

fluted glass lens should almost be the same. output is like 100000x better than crappy halogens. wont use halogens EVER again once u covert to HIDs..

but please get 4300k or 5000k.

But honestly though.. I really like my friend's 6000k kit, it's the perfect color temperature imho. I'm guessing it varies from hid kit to hid kit.. also, my main dilemma right now is getting my headlights to stop blinking once the car has been locked, any ideas on how to get around this ?

I purchased a couple of their kits for my other cars (my LS already has HID). Lieftime warranty, great quality, perfect outcome. No glare, highly recommended.

HID will be a huge improvement from halogen. You can't complete get rid of glare. what i did was aim them slightly lower and it seems to be fine. I have ddm's raptor kit 4500k and it is so damn bright! imho, ddm is great. pricing is hard to beat and their lifetime warranty. I've bought 4 kits from them already and none of them has been defective. Its just a peace of mind when you know you can get a replacement for free for lifetime.

Anyone have an answer for this? It's the only reason that's stopping me from installing HIDs =(

I have a 95 LS4 with the DDM Tuning HID's. 6000k is perfect, not too blue at all, anything over 6000k is just losing usable light output. The DDM tuning bulbs come with a glare shield, cuts down on glare a LOT. For $40 shipped you cant really go wrong, I've had them for a few months now and they seem to work fine.

My LS only flashes the low beams if I arm it twice (So if I press the arm button once to lock it, the lights dont flash. But if I arm the car, and then arm it again after that, the lights flash twice.) Maybe it depends on what you have your headlight switch set to? I know usually people leave the switch on AUTO. I have mine switched to ON, so essentially I have them on as daytime running lights, since SoCal drivers are all idiots and cant see a giant black sedan barreling down the highway.

With the built in glare guards, I've never had any on coming traffic flash their high beams at me. When I had the ones with no shield though, it was highbeamfest every night

The low beams won't blink twice with the light control **** in the off setting.
And btw, my 12k hid's are purple-white in the stock housing, and don't have glare.

dj_hp

Yep but it became a habit to lock it more than once since I have bad memory. Lol I guess I gotta get rid of that habit.

Tried this.. didn't work. Still flashes if armed more than once.

renato902

I'm on the same boat as you dj_hp... the only thing keeping me from getting HIDs is the lights blinking.. I don't know how we can possibly resolve this issue. Anyone have any ideas?

bump for a solution

i've had hids in my car since day one and i always arm it twice without any problems.

renato902

Ok, but do your low beams blink when you arm it?
