i thought hids produce less heat then halogens...

 

i dunno a clarification would be nice....

 

well i plan on getting HIDs when i get payed again. So ill let everyone know if i run into any problems like heating or melting going on.

 

On dodge talk OE has a thread about his HIDs he got melting the projector lens.

yea i was right, they produce less heat and use less power while producing more light

replace the ***** with dodge talk no spaces

 

yea and he has 55watt ballast with 35watt bulbs wonder why it melted...

 

we all know they use less power (excluding start up) and yes they produce less heat, but the light is the issue (kinda like a laser). I don't really know why, but ive seen it a few times and none on halogen bulbs. See if this makes any sense:

What I was thinking was the bulb is behind the projector lens. The bulb would heat up the projector lens, but the heat wouldn't really go any farther than that, maybe dissipated throughout the housing. Everything is focused in one spot from the convex lens, so with the 35w 6000k bulb it would be putting 300% more light output with the stock housing, all focused in a dollar piece sized area. Who knows how much light is put there with a projector? probably 600-800% or more than its meant for?

Im just talking out my ***, but sounds like it would affect something? and with 55w going into a 35w bulb, it would heat up but couldn't put out any more than 35w right? Ive had 35w in my heads/fogs since September 07, with no problems though

 

Well my question is why would the sell projector head lights that come with xenon hid kits on the internet? If you do a search on google you can find projector lenses that come with xenon hid kits.

 

Man they look good! Off the hook for sure...sweet ride!
