Finally got some pics of the HIDs

[pgt892]

After a month or two of having the lights installed I finally got some pics. I got the HID kit from the group buy on Zilvia. The Kouki projectors have good cutoff and provide a good beam pattern. The difference between these HIDs and Sylvania Silverstars were night and day. I really enjoy driving at night with these. Here are some pics to look at:

Those look really nice man! Nice, looks awesome. how much did u pick those up for in the group buy??

[pgt892]

Thanks for the compliments. They ended up being $270 shipped.

Can someone explain what "cut off" is? Is it where the head light beam stops a certain point on the road?

-Thanks

Cut-off is the horizontal line where the light from the headlight stops. With a crisp cutoff, there will be no glare from the headlights and the light will stop sharply. If you have any other HID related questions, here is a website to clear it up. http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html#quickover

has anyone seen Hids on a Zenki?

[Jookmasta]

ur lights are the exact opposite of mine. I have NO cutoff. i blind people day in day out. Glare like a mofo, but i can see 50 yards away like no other and i light up signs 1/8th of a mile away. lol. got luv the s13 pop headlights

Looks great. I'm guessing theyre 6000K.

Ive heard its not a good idea to put HID projectors behind the stock zenki lenses, since the lenses are designed for non-projector lights. It would cause poor cut-off (probably like HID in S13 pop-ups). To do this on a zenki, you would need to replace the lens covers with some clear ones (I dont think plastic vs glass would make a difference). Final Konnexion makes some, but they are expensive. It would probably cost twice as much to put HIDs on a zenki.

Thanks for the compliments. They are 6000K I believe, I don't have the box in front of me right now. I got them from the group buy that went on a little while ago at Zilvia.

That's a keen eye you have there. The PGT was going to be my original track car before I got the 240. I haven't done a lot to the PGT except for gutting the car, putting the Rotas on and done some minor things to the engine. I plan on fixing it up this summer and hopefully using it as a daily driver.
