Hello from Clearwater! HID Question.
Hello everyone, greetings from Clearwater, Kansas. Just wanting to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before purchasing an HID Kit for my 2001 Ford Ranger Edge, 4.0, 4x4. I am currently running the OEM reflective headlamp housing, and I don’t necessarily care for the look of aftermarket headlamps and/or projector retrofits. I tend to lean towards the more OEM look. My question is, if I run a single beam 35w HID Kit from my low beams and pull the plug on my highs, (As I rarely use them, as I have fogs and a small light bar), am I still going to be blinding everyone coming at me¿ I know how much it irritates me getting blinded, so I figured I’d ask before purchasing. If so, I’ll just ride the halogen pony. I looked through the forum, as well as google, and didn’t see a post similiar to this. Thank you in advance¡
Welcome to the forum
The wattage or "brightness" of the light is not an issue, or "the issue" in regards to blinding oncoming drivers
It the angle of the beams
Google: aligning ford ranger headlights
You need some masking tape, a marker and a measuring tape
Not hard to do
Pick up trucks are are notorious "blinders", lol, thats because when you have a load in the bed it drops down and front end goes up, so do head lights.
So if you carry loads often try to mimic similar weight in the bed, or adjust the beams slightly lower
