09_Red_GT Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 ^ For an 09 LGT, do you need to disable DRL for the HID's and if so... I know there is a walk through somewhere on here for this but couldn't find it. Any help is appreciated. habitual derail-er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalyst Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Is the 55w like obnoxiously bright or what? Id like to run 55w but not at the cost of looking like tool and blinding everyone. "This is an adventure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakabakablah Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Properly aimed, I don't think that they're obnoxiously bright. I've never been flashed or anything of that sort... however, I've been told that they lit up the road much better than the 35w kits that my friend had used. edit: I think it's also important to make sure you do something about the squirrel finders... at the bare minimum you should bend down the flaps but ideally you should get a high temp material like QuikSteel and fill in the gap (it helps to have a friend with long fingers if you're not willing to open up the headlight using a heatgun/oven and can't reach the flap yourself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naimouasta Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 i think its fine. its good difference from 35watt, but not that you'll melt everyone's eyeballs, unless of course they look directly into the light LOL. i'm just curious how these $30 kits are holding up so far. my brother is looking for some for his 09wrx. we are just waiting for more reviews. if they are good, why get $100+ ones right? here is my 55watt 5000k kit, DIGITAL brand. excellent reliability, has been about 1yr, starts up everytime, but more expensive. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/7276/dsc07032m.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 ^ I wonder - do you remember any outstanding details about that thread/post you read, where there was another '05 owner who had the same trouble as you. Any strange or uncommon words in the post/thread which may help the search engine? --- ^ For an 09 LGT, do you need to disable DRL for the HID's and if so... I know there is a walk through somewhere on here for this but couldn't find it. Any help is appreciated. ^ I can't remember which year - '07 or '08 - that Subaru switched DRL to the high-beam element on the BL/BP, but that's what will determine whether you "need" to disable DRL for the HID. You don't want your HID to share the same element as the DRL. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09_Red_GT Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yes, thank you for the information, since the DRL's run off the high beams, would that mean that lows and fogs HID's wonn't be affected by the DRL's? :confused: Also has anyone figured out an easy mod for disabeling the DRL's on an 09? habitual derail-er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelven Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Actually I am a bit confusing with this "Apexcone Raptor V2 from DDM Tuning" with the one from "Xenon Depot DDM Kit". What is DDM?

Boostin1657615274 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 UPDATE: 4 weeks and still running strong. Passenger light flickers on cold startup but burns strong once it warms up. No notable problems to date. Actually I am a bit confusing with this "Apexcone Raptor V2 from DDM Tuning" with the one from "Xenon Depot DDM Kit". What is DDM? Is it just a name? Can someone explain to me? DDM tuning is a vendor of these bulbs, but they also have their own in-house brand of HIDs that are slightly more expensive. DDM sells Apexcone and DDM, other vendors have been known to sell DDM. On the search for a new DD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doccrowley Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 lucas, i just got mine in the mail, looks exactly like urs ^^^Ditto on the second order I received for my Mazda and Chevy. Generic looking ballasts, not the hi shine and laser etched ones like the OP has posted. I called DDM to see if the ballasts were different for different vehicles and he said NO, same internals as my Subie kits, will work the same, just different look. All 5 of my kits are the 55W (3 look like this threads ballasts, 2 look like the new--generic ballasts). All have functioned the same......so far.......
