Thats what i hate about my LS, when I flash my highbeams during the day (lights off) the low beam HIDS come on as well

Is it the same way on the GS?? any easy fix?

 

i think his camera is just on really awful settings. dont think its the actual lightbulb.

 

yes it's the same way, and yes it's the case for all lexus. and in fact, yes it's the same for all cars with oem hid i believe

but they are all fine as long as they are oem kits, otherwise we would have heard tons od complains by now

 

My old '97 Mark VIII (They Came out with HID in '95 ) Didnt have that problem.

 

so it's ok then?

and man, back in 95 there was the hid technology already used in commercial vehicle?!

 

the Mark 8's had a different type of HID technology. Bulbs were different and NOT replaceable as far as I know, they lasted the life of the car....changes are if you can find a last gen Mark 8 in mint condition or at least driveabel condition, it's HIDs are original and work 100%

 

man, how can they guarantee it will last for the life of the car? tear and wear items i don't know how they can do that.

and what IF it really blows?

 

They eventually go bad, and you have to replace them (They use to be $50 bucs, but are $160 each now, and price is rising). They are neither D2S, or D2R, I forgot what they were called, but I remember it was the only car you can get with HID's without a cutoff line. However, they were not interchangeable with any other system.

You can still find them in good condition, especially the 98's (last year they were made) around here in Florida. As far as features, it had MUCH more features then my LS, but the LS was more refined, better ride, and a smoother engine.

very interesting stuff man, thanks for the info. i never knew about this before!

 

so dani3l , what does happen when drls are on?

 

Nothing happens, the drls are gone!!!!!! btw, the color temp is 14k. horrible lumens. so dim, but sooo purple. The pictures were taken at my best camera quality on my new $750 audiovox ppc6600kit phone!!! it was dark, give my poor camera a breaK! LOL.

 

huh? you mean 14000k? if so, damn, that's like no light output.... definitely sell the thing

 

all i can say is quadruple HIDs is overdone imo (on gamma's it look really nice...but for show purposes)....and anything over 6000k is too much for me...

 

I've thought about this mod too but I hardly ever use the high beams.
