aotus Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) regarding color temp, here's a thread that explains how 5000k and below is best: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?206640-Colour-temperature-in-HID-lamps Also, there is a reason that our eyes actually are able to use a warmer light better than cool lights, but I cannot find the source I read so you can take my word for it or not. has anyone tried the XD HID high beam kit? do they dim for DRL (can HIDs dim?)? would the color stay constant?

DanG_Legacy Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 @DanG_Legacy - This is a pretty good thread showing the differences: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/310-7th-generation-2012/692009-xenondepot-xtreme-hid-kit-review-5000k-4300k.html @DA_MAXX - Thank you for the feedback! I hope you're doing well!! Steve Perfect, exactly what I needed to know! I'm glad I made the correct choice. Next stop would be the H11 LEDs...

aotus Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 i installed the 4300 kit in my 2016 today. The lights look nice, once they warm up. For about 30 seconds the light is blueish. Also, the ballast makes a slight buzz that I don't care for. I only notice when the hood is open and the engine is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonDepot Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 @aotus - I'm glad to hear that you're happy with the light output. The buzzing sounds will subside once the ballasts fully warm up, but it is normal to hear an audible buzzing sound from the ballast. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG_Legacy Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Just installed the Philips 4300k from XD, they are excellent, super bright. Now I have to replace my fog lamps because I hate that they pretty much project the shoulders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aotus Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 That's because they are "pre-aimed" by Subaru to illuminate corners as you turn. Apparently they thought they could slip that by and make them blink on when turning and call it "steering responsive" and we'd all be fooled into thinking they actually move like in higher end cars...well, I guess it worked, because even the tech guy at my dealer was thinking that it meant they move, until I clarified for him. :eye roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think both fogs on would provide more illumination. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was thinking about purchasing mine, one of the videos said 'fog lights that follow the road as you travel' when it should have said 'turn your wheel more than 20 degrees and they pop on, even on slight turns, making people think you have a fog light out! But don't worry, they're not really fog lights, they really just light up that patch of gravel you can barely see in front of the car anyways!'

larrya07 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Well I just got done replacing my LED low beams with the XenonDepot HID kit. For the most part it was easy with a couple of small issues the folks at XenonDepot help out with. First I tried to plug the wrong connector into the cars wiring headlight connector. Pins had different spacing so they did not fit. Must be a common call since the tech on the other end quickly set me straight. I also had to switch pins on one of the connectors and it took me a while to get the locking pins to release. Anyway the lights are working and I have not headed onto the roads at night to see how many people flash their high beams at me. Since I do not trust the double sided tape I used extra tie wraps that I had to lock the modules tightly to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I sound like a noob but I'm new to the Subaru world DRL disable is unnecessary as our low and high beams are separate bulbs. Unless you're planning to put HIDs in the high beams, which pretty much everyone recommends against doing due to repeated on-off being hard on them.

ammcinnis Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I am looking to upgrade of hids but I hear it's good to do the drl disable ... Disregarding the issue of legality, if you're planning to replace the OE halogen high beam lamps with HIDs ... don't!
