Xenon

Alon Alero · 06-12-2007, 12:44 PM

Hey 1 little question i'm very interested in putting xenon blue lights in the Alero and my question is if it can get ruined when starting the car on becoz i have daytime running lights ... or should i just shut off the daytime running lights?

are there any other problems that might occur?

Thanx.

I had thoses cheap xenon ones and they didn't get hurt by the low voltage. actually they just didn't turn on for drl. but I couldn't see crap on the highway, so if your gonna get them get brand name bulbs even though they cost more b\c the cheap ones suck.

Thanx.

Do u have any name to recommend on?

LMAO, the daytime running lights are your brights. the xenons go in your lights that turn on at night. you can put new bulbs in your brights, but thats retarded.

Oh yea, get HIDs. dont waste your money on those crappy bulbs.

newer aleros use the low beams for DRLs...

i heard you can burn out your headlight pigtail with those cheap bulbs instead of getting a full HID kit

ya my dads did that in his truck, they had drl and he had the Xenon in the low beams and it pretty much melted the harness

Exactly, I had the cheap xenon bulbs in my car for a month, and when I replaced them with silverstar ultras, the harness was brown, almost black...I think if I would have had them in there for another month, the harness would have been fried. The cheap bulbs run at a lot higher wattage, mine were 91 watts a piece...bad idea

I have the 2000 model and from what I know the low beams was used in the 2003-2004 models.

So my drl's are the same lights that run at night arent they?

blindman · 06-13-2007, 01:33 AM

strtrydr · 06-13-2007, 03:26 AM

^yup

billytheman1188 · 06-13-2007, 07:41 AM

2002 and my drl are high beams. the high beams are the lights on the inside.

Ok so i've ordered the HID super xenon or whatever kit with 800x (or something like that) power.. It should be ok shouldn't it?

How is it going to work at the day? would it just work weaker like the usual lights?

Gr1m · 06-15-2007, 03:14 AM

they wont be on during the day ur still gonna have your regular driving lights, your headlights that auto come on will be HID though

Well suprise suprise! my DRL's are the middle lamps who run also at night... dunno why but thats just how it is... So i'll try to cancell the drl's and just active it manually...
