2010 MazdaSpeed3 HID 6000k DDM Kit Installed Low Beam

[codybb]

btw the music makes me want to play skyrim

[codybb]

i wonder with the running light bulbs if you can change them out to red or a more red orange...that's what i want to do when i get my Graphite Mazda3

[privatepyle35]

this video is way too dramatic, where's the popcorn? lol love it

[SalVatioN2011]

where did you get the kit? xenon expert?

[kenny1309]

What's with the music? Is Jesus coming?

[TheKevin34162]

was the install easy? was it just snapping on those wires and mount the box thats all?

[thewindsurfguy]

hey, I'm actually looking at this kit right now and was wondering what the specifications of the kit you purchased are. i want white-blue low beams with yellow fogs

[bellaco301]

u overrated with the soundtrack...lol nice.

[Aragon159]

I love how much drama the music adds to a video about headlights :P

[Aetherfury]

@Aragon159 The car washing video is even funnier, check that one out on my channel =)

[Aragon159]

@Aetherfury IM SORRY! i had to steal the soundtrack for my own HID video, check that one out on my channel =)

[NguyenEmpir3]

awesome video, i think the boxes are just from the projectors.

[Ramirezc0]

great video man! ive got the same car and have been debating doing xenons i think your video has sold me on them. im a novice, but from what i can tell its all plug and play right? no cutting and whatnot? keep it up man ill definitely be looking for more of your customization videos :)

[Aetherfury]

@Ramirezc0 Thank you! Yeah the kit I got was completely plug and play. Worked perfectly. Be careful who you buy it from because on the MSF forums some of the guys got cheap kits that you had to do some extra steps. Also- this is for the 35w kit. I think the 55w might need the extra harness because of the wattage. Not 100% sure.

[carlblanco]

Best part of this vid is at 34 seconds when the HID's come on.

[rvshark]

First video that the light doesnt glow.... great man..... good camera....

Does the light look a bit blue when its fully warmed up?

[Aetherfury]

@rvshark Thanks =) Yeah it's definitely blueish but very mild. It must not be too blue or I would have been pulled over since it's been almost a year with them! If I had to do it over again I probably would have gotten 5000k.

[mrqb1987]

@Aetherfury So you said that you would go for 5k 'cuz it produces less blue-ish color than 6k? I'm debating either to get 5k or 6k for my Pilot. Let me know more details on your 6k exp.

[12eb3L]

@mrqb1987 4300K = stock xenon (brightest, most lumens, pure white) ... 6000K = slight tint of blue but produce less lumens.....5000K is just somewhere in the middle.

[mrqb1987]

@12eb3L Thanks for the info. I already installed the 5000k from DDM tuning on my Pilot. So far, I'm loving the color.

[Aetherfury]

@shawn8l2 Haha I guess you haven't seen my other videos ;) that's kind of the point. Wait until I finish my epic "Windshield Washer Fluid Installation" video haha

[americanbully100]

i recommed DDM TUNING Kit.. just installed one on my dodge ram.. and its awesome..

[alyou]

what's your wattage?

[Aetherfury]

@alyou 35w. I thought the 55w might be too bright for city driving

[xx4n9133xx]

hey, i got 8k bulbs, but they wont turn on. is it a bulb issue or reverse polarity?

[novemberrain98]

Hi, I've this car... Can you give me a website to buy this HID Kit? (sorry for the english but i'm italian :D). Thanks.

[razer1000]

also I know that in 2003, the celica GTS (what I have) began coming with only HID lights from the factory but I don't know if those have projector beams still. Thanks for the help.

[razer1000]

I have a few questions for you. Are the factory low beams on your car the projector style? if so, did you have any fitment issues with the HID bulb? also did you notice any kind of beam-fragmentation with the HID kit?

I put some on my 94 celica and they work great but i've got a 2000 celica now which has projector beams. I've heard that projectors and HID's don't work well together, is this what you experienced? I am mainly looking for best overall lighting, not just to have blue headlights

[soccerman9696]

going to pick some up or my 3 soon, should i go with 4500k or 5000k. I think 6k will have to much blue u think 5k or 4500k will be the better white light?

[soccerman9696]

also any radio static?

[333Salvo]

This is the best music board for this video i love it an i just ordered my 6k can wait to put them in lol

[godsblade]

are those stock parker lights? theyre so bright! they also contribute to making the whole housing appear stock

[The4thbassguy]

wow amazing Camera.

[chuthemofo]

what bulb type is this from the website? H1, H4(low beam only), etc? Thanks!

[Aetherfury]

@chuthemofo Low beam only H11 for 2010 speed3

[ProtegeTuype]

name of music please

[Aetherfury]

@ProtegeTuype Its a theme from the movie Babylon A.D.

[ProtegeTuype]

Thank you .

[BizzloJoyish]

First of all. What kind of camera do you use? Very high quality. Second. Does this kit work on a 2010 Mazda3 s?

[Aetherfury]

@BizzloJoyish The camera is a Canon Vixia HF20 and it's tiny but does a great job. I'm not sure about the lights fitting the Mazda3 s but don't you already have hid headlights on the s model? If not, find out what bulb your low beams use (speed3 uses H11) and then get that version

[ekstc]

was it hard to install? and doesn't produce too much heat? and last question.. does it void the warranty?

[Aetherfury]

If I run them for a long period of time, everything is still cold (headlight housing- ballasts etc) so I don't think they generate any more heat. They are stock wattage (35w) just make sure not to get the 55w kit if you are worried about the heat.

Super easy to install. 15-30 minutes. As with all aftermarket parts, I think if something went wrong and it messed up my headlight, the headlight would not be covered. You should ask your service manager if you are concerned.

[ekstc]

appreciate the reply buddy, will do!

[mzking1980]

thats nice

[FoxhoundJay]

Are there kits for the mazda RX-8 as well?

[eckojuice]

why are the kits only 50 dollars when other companies are 100+

[Aetherfury]

I thought there must be something wrong with them because they were so cheap too. Until I installed it, now I can't figure out why other companies can charge so much more =)

[eckojuice]

which kit did you buy? i want that set up can you provide details?

[Aetherfury]

DDM 35w H11 Slim Kit from XenonExpert. Just seach google for XENON EXPERT DDM KIT SALE and it's on that page for like $65.

[eckojuice]

i bought through ddmtunings website,

[plptypscp]

@eckojuice DDM makes and sell very large quantities of these kits to where they can sell there kits cheaper. DDM has a lot of backorders on a lot of their kits because of there very high demand.

[Bulgdoom]

What kind of a cam to you use. The Picture is Crystal Clear!

[12jamez]

howw much iss itt ? :O

[JKTheDoc]

Here in Canada the 2010 MPS3 comes standard with low/hi beam HID. In fact it comes fully loaded with leather seats, premium BOSE audio, bluetooth, push button start, smart keyless...etc.

[manif3stacion]

@JKTheDoc Here in the US too, but not all dealers have it already.

[oxigin66]

I dont get it.. is it only here in europe we get Xenon/HID as standard/stock with the speed/MPS?

[leonxness]

Very nice hids.  Did you install them with a relay harness?

[Aetherfury]

Nope, the 35w kit doesn't need a harness

[Red08Speed3]

Worst spot EVER to mount a pallast is on a plastic battry cover.... wow..... HACK

[dre32pitt]

good thing thats not the battery cover then isnt it :)

[DecalfxVideos]

Im sure he meant the fuse box. Regardless its still thin plastic. Bad idea.

[Aetherfury]

Actually a lot of the guys mount it to the fuse box, really not a big deal. I've been running it since october with no problems.

The HACK part is where I put the other side, just jammed into the side of the engine bay hahah. I was embarassed when I did it, but I don't really care now ;) No one sees my engine bay, just the headlights.

[Aetherfury]

@Red08Speed3 yeah I never updated the video to show the new location since I was too lazy to re-edit it. They are under the headlights now as someone on the forums recommended.

[miami350z]

So earlier you thought it was the perfect shade of blue. Now its maybe too blue? Would you still take it over 5k hids. I figure the effect on your ability to see the road ahead probably isnt too much different between 5k and 6k. Does it give everything a slight blue tint?

[Aetherfury]

No I still think it's perfect for looks, but yeah- sometimes I see it reflected and think I'm going to get pulled over =) I haven't installed the 5k so I can't speak for it, but I have heard its like 3400 lumens and the 6k kit is 3200 so it's supposed to be really close. It actually looks very white on the road almost no blue, but the reflections from street signs and from other people's cars look very blue.

[miami350z]

Ok, good to hear it looks white on the road. I doubt you'll get pulled over, this car looks like it should come from the factory with hids anyways. My Altima SER has hids in reflector housings instead of projector housings. They are factory so are white but they are blinding and look aftermarket cause of the reflectors. People flash their brights at me pretty often lol

[Aetherfury]

You have an Altima SE-R? I always wanted one of those after I heard how awesome the stock exhaust sounded on it. It's also a cool sleeper in a race

[slvrk04audi]

Great video, and nice car. those lights look really nice, and I sure nice improvement compared to stock. What color range did you get? 5800? 6300?

[Aetherfury]

Thanks! Those are 6000's and it is for SURE the "most blue" I would ever go on a street driven car. I love the way they look, but they are borderline too blue

[cuban653]

heyy i think i know you from mazda3 forums? i also own a 2010 black speed3 tech... i need too know what bubs does the 2010 speed3 hold too install my hids?

[Aetherfury]

H11 for both low beams and fogs

[boogiebomb2knightrnr]

My question is, does the 2010 come with HIDs or at least on the tech package? I mean it came in the GT models before that. what happen?

What website did you get your from?

[Aetherfury]

The 2010 only comes in a "sport" model that doesn't include HIDs or LED tail lights. The tech package just has Nav, Keyless & Bose. It wasn't a big deal for me since I don't care about the tail lights and I knew I would eventually get aftermarket HID. I do think they should have made a "GT" trim though. Search Google for "xenon expert ddm kit sale" and you will get a link for a sale for $70 instead of $150

[boogiebomb2knightrnr]

Thanks alot, appreciate it! Maybe GTs will be release next year. Rumors are that maybe a 2.5 will replace the 2.3, who knows. Last question, cut off line remains the same wheather it's HID or not right. Anyways, awsome video of yours:)

[djcuba908]

Why did you choose the 35w over the 55w? How much is the increase in light over the stock halogens?

[Aetherfury]

35w to keep it more "stock", plus I drive mostly in the city at night and I don't want to blind everyone. The 55w kits I have seen are SUPER bright. The 35w is a huge increase in light over stock and was plenty for me.

[miami350z]

Those look great and at a very reasonable cost. Did you get the 35w or 55w and what size bulbs. Also did you need to order anything else from their site other than the basic HID kit. Thanks and keep posting the videos your speed is coming along nicely.

[Aetherfury]

Thanks! I got the 35w kit in H11 (both low beams and fogs are H11 on the 2010) and I just ordered the "kit sale" from XenonExpert and it was $90 including shipping.
