Thread: Spyder headlight

I just got a couple quick questions, first what are the bulb sizes for the lights im pretty sure the projector's are h1's and the high beams are h3's? (not sure about that one)

and secondly i want to put hid's in both the high beams and the lows, i just wanted to see if anyone had put them in the highs because im curious about the light output. But as far as the lows go should i get a 35watt kit or is something higher than that going to be too hot?

One answer....

Don't buy Spyder projector headlights... retro the stockers.

They already were bought a couple days ago i like the design and ill use weatherstripping as needed im just looking for knowledge if 55watt instead of 35 is going to be too hot inside those projectors

Wait a minute...........you mean you like that design better than the retrofit stock capsules!!!!!!! OMGZZZZ get out of the interweb!!!!!!!!

Just playin bro, I agree with you that the spyder projectors look great! Just some on this forum would have you drawn and quartered for nothing loving retrofits.

That being said, you should be fine with 35w HID's, I've seen ppl run 55w with no problem, but who knows.

i've made my decision when they first came out

too much rice and the bubble is weird

cause a single projector in a huge capsule doesn't look odd or anything....

I'm not knocking retro's i dont think they look bad, i just want something that takes alot less work for a similar result. the time and effort into stopping the bounce is tiny compared to the time and patience in doing retro's.

but my car is red and i just like the look of black spyders compared to black housed retro's. I also have some smoked led tails coming along with my rockers and n*

man do you like to stir the pot over here

You will be fine with a 35W kit. I recommend ou leave the highs as halogen. They light pattern is not useful once the low beams are aligned.

No stirring required. It's insta-drama
