Mx-5 Now With HID

TypeG · Postby **TypeG** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 6:29 pm

Hi guys, I am new to this forum.
I have a MX5 with hard roof
Finally I have fitted my HID today and some white LEDs to match the HID. I LOVE IT....
I got a contact from my friends who they all bought and installed their HIDs from.
Highly recommend ebay . Cheap, quality and fast !!!

Not wanting to burst your excitement....but I hope when you fitted your HID to your NA, you also adjusted the headlights (lowering the beam). Simply doing a plug and play on the HID with the old halogen bulb is only half the job. The light source in the HID bulb does not match the Halogen bulb (it's distance from the base), hence the angle of your current headlights will be out. In my experience, they'll be pointed higher up than they should.

If you haven't, don't be surprised if you get a lot of on-coming motorist flashing their lights at you or very annoyed motorist driving in front of you.

And if you were in NSW, your car is now illegal and can be fined for having them fitted. Not sure if the same laws applies to Victoria. Finger's crossed you don't get pulled over by a not too friendly police officer.

Ban for encouraging reckless use of HID bulbs reflector housings not designed for HIDs (as much as for the blatant spamming and disrespect for the forum).

Spammers should expect this kind of crap to be banned. For good reason.

However anyone interested in HIDs should be able to find some good retrofitting forums, since there is a good cottage industry in retrofits, using the proper HID projectors.

Much better than encouraging people to recklessly use reflectors with xenon bulbs, giving MX5ers a bad name.

So glad you covered it Hammer, I am so sick of being blinded by reckless Ebay users and the occasional JDM Civic

In regards to publishing there facebook images, did you have permission? Because you gave us the impression it was your vehicle.

P.S it's a hard top (removable), not a hard roof

Yeah I already adjust to make it makes it focus to the ground.
I know it is illegal so I am aware of that but the HID just look too good to give this mod a pass =)
Sorry guys...!!!!

I am surprised that this blatant bit of unsolicited advertising for an illegal set up has not yet been binned by the moderators. Amazing that illegal products are so readily available .

techically not illegal.
All you needa do is add washers to your headlights

which noone would bother.
Easy to get engineered.

ANDD..
on an NA hid yes is a miSTAKEEE

NB with neww 9006bulb headlights however looks nice doesnt blind anyone.. long as they are aimed down
Gives MORE LIGHT..
not in the rain though "stock is better"
Looks very nice

and cheap n easy to install.

I wasnt advertising i was just giving you guys an actual BETTER price than this user did.. the part where i wrote Slimx Vision Australia was a joke.
