What is your favorite HID brand? I have a Scion TC and used 8000k meng hids they were pretty good ....just wondering if there is anything better.....also how much of a pain would it be to change all the red lights to blue even if possible
Don't know about the HID's (personally I find them a real distraction, especially when installed misaligned) but we love the red LED's, esp. at night of course.JD1980 said:What is your favorite HID brand?

Do you have any links to any of the retrofits? I've been looking for people who retrofitted terrains since I bought the car a year ago lol but I haven't found any.Chas said:To get true HID projectors, you'll more likely have to buy the retrofit HID projectors themselves, heat up your headlight housings to pull the lenses off, then drill/dremel/etc to retrofit the HID projectors in place. There are several members in here who have done such, but if you're not handy or if you're pressed for time, the OEM halogen projectors that your Terrain have really are wonderful to use as is. Technically, the HID projectors supposedly distribute the HID lighting better than halogen projectors. Realistically, I couldn't see any significant difference (except for a crisper cut-off which doesn't affect glare anyway), and the HID in my Terrain halogen projectors are a huge, awesome upgrade
Same here ! Was wondering how you "tune up" a "light bulb".BUNEDOX said:I was unaware of any need to tune them? From what I understood was that the xenon depot kits are plug-n-play with the capacitor wired in
Here's one for retrofitting quads into the Equinox. I didn't find any writeups for the Terrains. Just more members posting that they did a conversion. (fsanti87, didn't you also already heat the lens off your Terrain? Or I might be thinking of someone else?)fsanti87 said:Do you have any links to any of the retrofits?

My 4300K Philips rebased bulbs looked much whiter than the H11 bulbs, even when the HID bulbs were new. I sometimes wonder if I got 5000K bulbs instead, ha. But to be frank, even the OEM slightly yellow light didn't bother me. They just were not bright enough. I'll try to dig up the post I created years ago to see if it compares the lighting color next to each other.BUNEDOX said:You say that 4300ks loose the yellowish hue overtime?
Also have any Terrain owns who've had their HIDs for 2+ years had problems with the chrome finish bubbling off?
Yup that was me :thumb: that Nox is sexy! But yea I mainly wanted to find other terrain retros to find out if there's any projectors with the same bolt pattern but I figured it out a while ago lolChas said:Here's one for retrofitting quads into the Equinox.
