hey guys, I have an Infiniti Qx4 that comes stock with the HID lights, but i notice that some cars like BMW even the 300c's appear to be brighter, is there a way I can make my lights brighter then stock? do i have to change the whole unit?

post pics of your HIDs please. I think I can help.

or you can just say if they are projector or reflector type.

to make them truly BRIGHTER... there is nothing you can do. but by saying BRIGHTER, I assume you mean more ricer color. if they are reflector, then nothing you can do, if they are projector, you can bend the shileds a lil to get more color from the cutoff.

that doesn't help at all... I need a pic of your headlight or just tell me if it's reflector or projector HID housing. I know what a QX4 looks like outside

there are 2 pictures no? one of the truck with the lights on and one is a closer view of light, if its not i'll take a picture

no help, pic too tiny. it LOOKS like reflector, in which case the only thing you COULD do but I don't recommend is a 6000K bulb. higher K bulb can affect ballast/ignitor life, both of which are $$$ to replace.

6000K bulb is less bright, but will give you more of that ricer color that you seem to desire. why not just turn up your 4000 watt stereo in order to draw attention to yourself??

hahaha
didnt u read, its not working at the moment, lol

okay i'll take pictures, but what is this ricer colour your refering too? blue? cause I dont want it blue, i just want it to be brighter so when i drive it lights up the road more, im moving to goreway and castlemore and they dont have any damn lights up there yet

oh so you really want more, brighter light?? LOL cuz the way you were making it seem was you want a louder stereo, so I assumed with that mentality, you'd want bluer lights haha my bad...

yeah like I said then, you don't have any options for those stock lights then. what I recommend is picking up a set of Hella HID driving lights, which have a pencil style beam, so they project HID light much farther down the road but they keep the light low almost like a fog light type deal. VERY expensive, but if you wanna invest in your safety, then absolutely a good idea.

here is a link:

Hella also has a square type projector if you wish.

how you like mine?

imported_cbishun

don't forget, mine are like .... 4300K not 6000K

6000K will be more blue and less bright. unless you get the aux HID from hella, you won't get more light outta those stock peices.
