triplecore Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Can people give me their comments on installing H7 HID bulbs fake zenons off ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...mMakeTrack=true Does this look like a bad idea will damage the electrical system? Will they help the lighting? Also how do you change the light bulb on the 98 ES in the headlights? Is it hard to do? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Fake HIDs can be used to impress oncoming drivers, most of which have no idea who you are nor do you know them. Additionally the "faking" is done with light filtering tinted films on or inside the bulb's glass encapsulation and therefore you do not get the full advantage of the brighter filament (high current load)used to overcome the effects of the filtering tint.

SW03ES Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I agree with wwest. If you're going to upgrade to HID, upgrade to HID. These fake painted blue/purple bulbs however only look silly, blind oncoming drivers, and REDUCE your night vision. If you really want to increase your night vision but cannot afford a proper HID retrofit (INCLUDING new lamp housings) then I reccomend looking at things like Sylvania Silverstars or other DOT legal bulbs from quality manufacturers.

SKperformance Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Got to agree , get real HID's or leave it alone. Get PIAA bulbs if you want additional lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98es Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I bought those same headlights off of ebay last year for my 98 ES... within 6 months they had both burned out. I did enjoy the 'blue-like' light, but they weren't very bright. I have since replaced them with silverstars, which are great for halogen but definitely not HID. Good luck.
