I will add more pictures but here is what all black headlights look like. I made lots of mistakes with this install and I will try to document some of them.

That. Looks. Sick.

Can I see some pics of the cut off? What projectors/bulbs/ballasts did you use?

Looks great all blacked out, maybe someone should retrofit the fog lights and having them blacked out on a black ridge would look awsome.

Looks great! How well do the turn signals light up in the black housing?

 

[dtexan]

Loving the all black theme, great work!

Projectors : 2 x D2S 3.0
Ballasts: 2 x D2S: Morimoto 3Five
Bulbs: 2 x D2S: XB35 5500K

The light is way more blue than I thought it would be. Doesn't look super blue on the headlights themselves but the light coming from them seems blue on the road.

No pics of cutoff right now. It looks like I am casting a batman symbol on the road. Not aligned at all yet. That will be my weekend project, fixing my batman symbol into a straight line.

I think the turn signals still look plenty bright. I had them blinking in the day and at night and stood far away to see how they looked. I thought they seemed totally functional. I don't see any problems with that being black now.

Can I recommend 4300/4500/5000k?

Personally I like 4500k. It's the closest to white that most bulbs can get.

I await more pics!

I didn't really think about other options of bulbs when I did all this. I am going to get the Osram 66240 NightBreakers. I don't really like the blue look and it doesn't match my fog lights very well. Hopefully the 4300k looks more white than blue. Also they say they produce way more light. Merry Christmas to me! $190 light bulbs!

You will like them much better. Should be no blue in them.

Okay so are we gonna get some details ?

I have the base Osram bulbs and zero blue color. Are the XB 35 bulbs the latest revision?

the xb are the best that they make atm.


The 4300k orsam is what many acura and bmw you see on the road use that have the stock HID. I bought some morimoto 4300k for my mom's van and it looks pretty close to the german cars in our house.

 

[dtexan]

I have the OSRAM 66240's in my Ridgeline. I also have a set of the previous generation XB35 in a 4300k temp for my wifes TL. They just released a new version of the XB series bulbs I was just curious if you had those.

I picked up Cenovio HID retrofit headlights. After baking then realigning the housings this is what the cutoff lines look like. Thanks again Cenovio.
