HID in car, winter and rain.

waloshin · Sep 10, 2009

I have bought the Depo projector headlights for the 95 - 99 Neon, are they any good for HID?

I also bought ddm tuning hid slim ballast kit @ 55 watts, 5000k.

What i was wondering will it be harder to see in rain, snow(heavy blizzards) then with standard halogen bulbs?

Plug and play HID kits in cars are terrible. The projector headlights will help give it a sharper cutoff and concentrate the light better but will not be as good as a true retrofit. I imagine it would be harder to see in tough conditions, not to mention you might blind oncoming traffic. I recommend getting a brighter halogen bulb or doing a proper retrofit with some FX35 bi-xenon projectors and phillips 4300k bulbs.

HID bulbs really need an HID housing to be anything but a novelty.

For these you want lights mounted low down on the car that have a very flat beam. This gets some of the glare out of your line of sight.

The major drawback of HID is that because of its awesome power they are disturbing for the oncoming traffic leading to accidents. Therefore its better to go for powerful and high quality projector lamps. They are adequate.
