hey guys I know hid ballast and bulbs need to "warm up" to become bright and regarding another members post in another thread who stating that "no that its instant" well... no... your wrong....
the ballast and bulb when cold take a minute to warm up to operating temp, once warm though.. its a different story
however some times we cant use the high beam all the time, so thus its cooling the bulb off and needing warmed back up (look at the bulb when you turn your light on from cold, now wait a 90seconds without looking at it .....waiting.... wham! like 4x brighter...)
so I know of this issue and I wanted to go with a led based highbeam
I ordered a 80watt (overkill I know) led bulb 9005 in 6k color hopefully it will all go nice
led is almost instantaneous from my experience
anyone else done this ? if not then I shall Guinea pig it..
the exact one I ordered has the fan and heat diffuser combo on it so its slightly bulky but eh... ill make it work lol
my low beam is a 55wat hid in 6k and the spread is perfect (I need the delay mod) its a solid flat line and super nice for me at night with a tinted helmet visor (my halogen bulb
highbeam is insufficient now and ugly in 4k range)
so anyone that has potentially done the HIGHBEAM in a LED (not hid ) post ya results plz and thanks !!
