I've seen a lot of burnt bowls from the MR2 community over this. Not all of it, but better. Same glass, same clean cut up top rather than the break, same slight blue reflection. If you can get XD bulbs I recommend it. Nah, if you use decent bulbs with anti-UV capsules and have decent halogen projectors like the E55, there will be no short term damage whatsoever.
The E55 by the way for me, except for being simple and halogen, it's more robust than the HID variants, with no plastic, only metal construction, and metal dissipates heat MUCH better than plastic. I used 55W HID since on my car, and replaced the headlights only after 6 years, and they were just slightly starting to fade, with a little haze on the bowl and the lens, nothing burned or cooked or peeling or bubbling.
The problem is the Combo cheap bulbs with no anti-UV and cheap headlights with plastic generic projectors, generic lens.
The UV will cook everything on the path of the light, because those parts don't have even the minimal anti-UV treatment that OEM stuff have. Last edited by Alberto ; January 3rd, , PM. Chevrolet Astra 2. E55 is indeed a robust projector it seems.
Most are not. Back to the first post, Sinolyn is a reputable seller, and this ballast is good and AC for sure. DC ballasts are crap, dim, weak, usually in plastic cases with no potting You can use them to light up a reading lamp in your house.
And for bulbs, any CNLight or Yeaky is pretty decent. Sometimes the alignment is not perfect but you can adjust by shimming the bulb to have perfect cutoff and hotspot. And for the FastBright tech thing, I really don't know if it is stressful to the bulb, but time is really not important for low beam application, and for sure stressful for the electrical system, as they draw way more current on start. You would be better with regular Hyluxtek ballasts. January 4th, , AM. Many thanks for all of the quick responses.
They're really helpful. It was a very generic one I bought locally, nothing special. The result was better than halogen but the reason that I wanted to change em was because one bulb in the 1st minute of operation in cold condition started to switch off momentarily and then come back on, so I took that as a sign for replacement.
As for damage, I haven't spotted any so far but I don't use the lights for too much. Also, regarding the quality of the headlights, I don't know. It's a 95' Mazda and the cover of the housing is glass even, not plastic. No idea if the projector is good quality or not though. This type of the current is distributed unevenly on the electrical components. The DC ballast moves the positive ions to the negative side only. This increases the temperature of the bulb one side is always hotter than the other and shortens the lifespan of the light.
AC , or alternative current , sends power through a circuit alternating between positive and negative voltages, as a result ,the electricity flows in both directions. An AC ballast reverses the polarity on the same electrode with the help of a reverse switch, so there is an equal distribution of ions. This is a really good question. Now, it is true that 55W ballasts will provide more light output, however that is not without a big downfall, which make a 55w ballast impractical.
The brighter output that the 55w ballast will produce causes stress on the HID bulb, one of the main reasons it fails in such a short period is because the bulb itself 'burns' much hotter than a regular 35w. This extra heat that a 55w ballast causes issues for those with plastic lenses, projector lights, and in actual tighter spaces we have seen the 55w ballast melt components in your engine bay.
