time to upgrade the lights

[Rollin Thunder]

Man this thread gets confusing as hell when you don't know much about lighting. Not trying to thread-hack, but can someone point me to a clear GLASS head light that's not $250. Preferable one that sells clear corners, parking and headlights.

I'm not terribly interested in HID, but it would be nice to have a headlight that's compatible if i want to do it later on too.

All headlights for the obs and up tahoes are compatible with HIDS. Its just the difference of doing it and doing it right.

You cant get a headlight that does both. Its either the HID headlight system posted. Or you get your glass headlights, and use halogens, Or put a kit in, but your beam wont be that good.

INFO FOR YOU ALL, putting an HID set in a car that did not come from the factory with hid's(system already installed) is illegal

its illegal to put the kit in any vehicle that did not come with hid's from the factory

that being said the housings are all the same unless they have the little bulb shield(its not a cut off shield(thats just on projectors)

that being said to that, i have 2 sets of hids in my truck 6,000K 35W Low beams and 8,000K 55W for my high beams,

why do we care if its legal or not, it looks good, and helps you see, so why not do it.

best ones out there for the headlights are the TYC HID kit like the ones i picked up. 992door and RT have/ had them and mine are just F-in amazing. mine were $225 shipped after negotiating with the "best offer" thing

do you know if these are glass housings?

 

[haks310]

I would care because I don't wanna be the dick blinding people. @#!% is annoying.

The TYCs are not glass, I also have them.

 

[DJTricky]

i dont blind people, i have mine aimed really low.

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

yep, not glass. but they aren't junk housing by any means.

Anyone know where I can get just the housings for the D1R bulbs?
I want to get the housings and hid kit separate so I can get 6000K or 8000K
I found a pair on ebay but the guy does not know if it is for d1r

At least you did that, most people wouldn't care.

I know I've seen them on ebay before, try searching there.
Also, TYC makes 2 headlamps for the OBS, one is a halogen housing and the other one is a HID reflector one, so if it has the cup, that's the one.

I have seen some that have the cup but do not have hid's. and they are cars that are straight from the factory
