EG9 headlamp bulb replacement...

[akuma]

dude,dis is whr i gotta disagree......retro-fitting HID into OEM EG headlamp(b it JDM/local Kah Motor model)......u r gonna blind oncoming traffic.....HIDs r meant 4 car w clear headlamp.example Myvi.while d EG9 headlamps r not "clear",as in they haf lines on 'em..so w HID,dis "lines" r gonna spread d beam everywhr.....i read dis in sum tech forum b4.....n its very true.....
best local example:compare a Myvi n a Wira w aftermarket HID.d Wira will most prolly blind u coz d headlamp has d "lines"(i duno wat they r called actually) compared w a properly adjusted HID on a Myvi.
cheers

from wat i know, if with proper adjustment, any kind of headlight oso can fitted with HID, that won't create too much of glare... Myvi with HID, mostly kills my eye... no matter from front or back... just hate them!!!

just compare with headlight without projector only...

our HID also have that front glass with lines (it reflects, so i suppose we call it glass reflector or something).

as for the CL1 headlites and also other HIDs with no glass reflector, the bottom part of the bulb is covered,... therefore the beam at bottom will not relect upwards after being reflected by the silver reflector (thatz the one at the back)

yup, michiba has H4H bulbs. you might want to check with their distributors for availability. This would be the cheaper option. You can also check the PIAA series in 1 Utama if you're in the Klang Valley.

As per Hikaru, H4H is the correct bulb size for JDM EGs. Had problems like this before. Solved it with a pair of PIAA bulbs.

H4H is almost similar to the H4. but the base is smaller. So you can't actually fit a H4 bulb in an EG headlight.

achor,
care 2 share d contacts of Michiba's distributors n also how much u got d PIAA H4H for?thx

 

[achor]

michiba's distributor in malaysia is ---> http://www.michiba.com.my/contact.html

try emailing them

After looking at their site, i'm not sure whether they carry H4H. But you can try to ask them.

as for the PIAA, i believe the price is almost RM200 or more. i mean, you're talking about PIAA here. it's bound to be expensive.

Below is a link to a previous tread about this where i posted a few posts....

I believe that the prices for the bulbs would depend on the series...

as for me, i got it cheap as i got the bulbs from autobacs last time. i don't drive the EG anymore. my younger brother drives it now. he changed the headlights with depo headlights. they fit H4 bulbs.
