Converting to 50w HID lowbeam
Silent, you do know you will be blinding the hell out of everyone on the road. The projector housing our cars have are not ment for an HID capsule over 35 watts. Consider yourself a rolling stadium lighting apparatus on the street. I'd hate to live in your neighborhood.
Well I can see if the projector is projecting like in someones eyes yes it would be very bright.. Im just curious about the system and was curious if anyone knew more aboutit
I've done plenty of bulb replacements that change the color of the light from say 4300k (oem BMW) to a higher Kelvin 6000k bulb for a nicer blu'ish light.
However anything past 6000k is going to start to lose visible lighting meaning you start trading off the cooler blue/purple light for less visibility which is stupid if you ask me.
As for actually upgrading the wattage, the first thing you have to do is make sure the wiring gauge can handle the increased power. Headlights is one thing that can be continuously on for LONG periods thus I would not modify it unless you know what you are doing. Getting the 50 watt stuff is not hard as I have a source for that type of lighting.
But my question is why? The s2000 has great lighting that is pretty nice and blue already. I can see if you want to upgrade the color to a higher K but why the wattage?

Thanks.. I would like to stand out. I like being diferent and that is not something that is very common. From what I have read. "Uniqueness" lets call it.
Thanks for the INFO.

the hid 50w would be a lot brighter but how the S2000 ballet is designed one piece so you have to swap them out 5700 lm would be nice i say **** it just do it and post some pictures up if it looks a lot brighter like stadium lighting then i would do it also **** the the other drivers

So when you blind the crap out of someone and you run them off the road or onto on-coming traffic and possibly kill them, you're fine with that I suppose?
REV.Group....do you read your posts after you post them. They dont make any sense whatsoever, and the information I can make out is incorrect. The s2000 doesnt have Bi-Xenons.
P.S. Commercial Xenon (construction work, stadium, driving ranges, etc) are 4300K.
