    dont you have fxr projectors? I might be confusing you with somebody else.

    quick question, I picked up some US ellipsoids that I plan on baking and smoking them the proper way. If I were to use 55w vs 35w bulbs/ballasts is there any extra step I need to take or same as installing 35w HIDs?

      The ballasts seem to be OK, but their grading on bulbs seems to be a bit inaccurate to say the least. They say a 50 hr time to get accurate results, but I dont see it. 5000K with them is BLUE.


      see post below comparing to the Morimoto 4300K bulbs I just bought in.

        here is the difference between the Xentec "5000K" bulbs and the true 4300K Morimoto bulbs I just got in.

        Morimoto on the drivers side, Xentec on pass side




        Morimoto has about 2 minutes run time on it in this pic. still a bit white (against backdrop) but MUCH better than the blue on the pass side.

        Here is a direct pic on the bulbs themselves. Morimoto is much better built, with the ceramic mount holding it to the base, as opposed to nothing on the Xentec.

        Morimoto on the right

            I installed my xentec setup today on a set of US ellips I just got in the mail. The 5000k seem a bit blue for sure - but the light is more white than the headlights make it appear. Also, one of my ballasts was dead right out of the box.

            I'll post pics later - I did 5000k on the highs and lows.

                    Hey Trooper I noticed your lights were far brighter before than now. Perhaps it's time to replace the ballasts/bulbs already!
