Thanks for the post as I have been looking to do this. just want to confirm which adapter to order... is it KP 101 or KP 102?
Also did you change the temp of the HID? trying to have it all match the halos.. which I think is 5k?? I prefer a white output vs blue tint. If you did can u tell me where you ordered the HID from too? TIA |

Lol so this guy is talking about glare when there are several vehicles out that blind the hell out of drivers aka the new Acura’s with their headlights. Also the cornering light only comes on when you’re turning or have the turn signal on.
I find it hilarious. Especially since here in dc a high number of drivers go down the street with high beams on. Yet this guy is criticizing the use of led bulbs in the part of the housing that doesn’t even stay on for long periods of time. |

Thanks. I was referring to the actual headlights with HID not the corner lights. looks like headlamp HID is color matched to the corner lights and halos. so was curious if you swapped those out too for 5 or 6k. |

I drove a BMW loaner with LED cornering lights and I don't think I "blinded" anyone when I was turning. The lights we're all talking about won't blind anyone.
Maybe you can preach your light gospel elsewhere. Maybe where it its applicable. |

It's 100% applicable here, people just refuse to admit that it's a bad idea because "ohmahgawd led>>>>halogens i need mah led" Also, how would you know you didn't blind anyone, you're in the driver's seat lmfao |

With the point you're trying to drive home how are we sure about anything? How am I sure that you yourself know anything about physics that you proclaim to know? Where is your supplemental evidence to show that it does blind people? Did you do a survey or a credible study that has been reviewed by such physicists? If not, shut the hell up and move on, you wannabe keyboard warrior. |

I used to collimate refractor telescopes while working at my university's astronomy department, so I think I have a pretty good idea of how light works. Last edited by Unspec; 12-18-2019 at 01:22 PM.. Reason: Broken quote |

Yep pretty sure it's a diffused beam. They're intended to light up the area you're turning into indiscriminately. If it were a focused beam, this wouldn't be much of an issue, but diffused beams tend to just shovel light everywhere. Not much an issue with halogens, but LED's are so much brighter.
