Yikes 600 bucks! Look nice though i would be willing to pay 400 or so. At 600 i would rather just get the ford racing HID Mach kit. Would be nice if we had a US distributer.

Don't these actually bend to where you steer?

 

Swivel more or less. Yes, thats what the dynabeam is all about. Hella has a nice site teling all about them.
Awesome performance, but not too attractive IMO.

 

that's an option for the steering feature. I like them, clean looking without lots of leds and halos.

 

looks good but dont like the pricing

 

600 bucks for a pair of adaptive HID headlights isn't bad at all. Seeing as how you are paying 800 or so for non-adaptive headlights. And aren't the HID's already made by hella? Or was it just the projectors. Anyways, you save yourself a couple hundred bucks for headlights that will cost you alot more on a brand new car.

 

the SVT/Mach HIDs are produced by Hella, or atleast the projectors and the setup is but it's probably the entire lite...

nope been posted a while ago:repost:

It was, but at that time they weren't being sold yet.

 

I didn't see it had HID on the website. just bixenon

 

hid and adapted is extra. if you want hid tack on 500 adapted is another 200 or so.

 

So is it possible to get the HID option WITH the Dynabeam, or is the Dynabeam only available with the halogens?

 

Its HELLA. They can do anything.

 

yeh that was the debate with the last thread...i sent 2 emails with no replies on if the HID system could be used with the DynaBeam.

(would have thought they would have released it with HID to begin with, so i am skeptic) It may be only designed for halogen...or maybe they just wanted to keep the price down, especially with the current price of the halogen setup.

Interesting...I like 'em :thumbup: Especially that headlight cleaning system...

Price is also reasonable, considering you get Hella's reputation and quality. To those who balk at the cost: Suck it up. People can easily drop a few hundred or thousand on body kits, wheels, suspension, etc. Budget accordingly and make better driving visibility a priority, and you too can have these alternative lights

 

HMM could ya use the projector from the Mach HID's in the dyna-beam housing ????
Maybe hella could make up a set .... that would be cool...
I would change out my St170's with HID projector mounted in the low beam spot ..
LOL then I have the 6500hz. 90 watt bulbs in the highs... can ya say I SEE EVRYTHING..... plus I did the st170 low /mod.....
but these would be cool....

 

these things are nice they make em for my GTI as well

heres a bunch of pics of these lights for the GTI but it has a bunch of info about the lights with pics of the box/mechanics inside the lights...

heres a vid

you wouldn't need to...the HELLA lenses should be able to hold a HID output.



...and about the ST170s, go for it. Have been wanting someone to undertake it and someone has already pondered it in one of the threads. I would love to see it, very MINI esque (especially if the lense is kept around it with a city light) :evilgrin:


just dont have the balls to cut into my expensive ST170s. I have 200bucks in my account after paying tution and a new semester starting. HELL NA!:lol:

The HID Dyna Beams havea projector lens.

The innovative Upgrade Headlamp for retro-fitting is the first of its kind and automatically illuminates the curve as bright as day. The bi-halogen system produces dipped and main-beam light from a single source of light and although the entire unit swivels into the curve, the near-side headlamp moves through a larger arc than the offside headlamp. The area illuminated by the dipped beam when driving into a curve is almost doubled. The result: increased safety.

 

Anyone know of a us distributer of these things?

Any Hella AUTHORIZED dealer should be able to get you this part.

 

Dredging this one waaaaaaaay up...but they're on eBay being sold from the US

Did anyone every hook up the dynabeam feature??

 

Wow. $558. That ain't bad. It's a pretty significant percentage of the current value of my '02, but it's a fair price for genuine Hella HID.

If there's any reason to drag athread from the crypt, this is certainly worthy!

 

First, if I were you I would wait b/c there is something in the works. Couple of weeks out.

Second is these are Euro with indicators included, so add the dub harness hack cost which is stupid high nowadays.

Third, add the cost of shipping to the ebay price, along with the dub hack cost...still an excellent deal, but see the first thing I said.

Fourth, about HID and Dynabeams, the apparent issue with the upgrade is the power wiring that controls the movement of the projector is apparently part of the H7 bulb socket wiring. This would eliminate plug and play and open up cut, splice, and play as the only way to get them to H.I.D.

 

bustonit,
I'm interested and I'll be watching this thread,
I don't care about the "swivelly thing" feature(just sounds like something else to break!),
but quality HID's by HELLA that are priced right and plug and play is what I'm after.

 

can i ask is there any kind of hint as to why we should wait a couple weeks? these look pretty nice and is pretty much something i was going to see was out there made yet.

 

Check my sig. This should give you an indication.

 

Fantastic. Can't wait.
