samir101ng: @nissparts,

Can you elaborate more on the headlight casings for HID lights ? I thought there was no need for changing the headlamps of your car when installing them. Are you talking about headlamps like these in the pix ?

You dont need to change the case, you only to buy Xenon bulb conversion kit. Click link below for the pix:

elektra80: Oga Fogman.. I no mean to spoil business for u ooo. I didn't suggest HID's to be banned. No doubt the lights are far brighter than our conventional bulbs. What I'm saying is to try educate people on how it should be used in order not to cause unnecessary accidents by blinding other road users. Just because someone can move a car from point A to point B doesn't mean he's a qualified driver.

No hard feeling, you have said the obvious and how it is used by drivers is the key issue here, since we all have agreed that it is good

Fajzay: Chief, U use HID for ur foglamps also? lolz

Who would'nt want to use it?

Lexusgs: I would rather like to see a potential hazard on the road @ night (potholes), than fall into it !!!!!

Well said. Infact this bulb are most needed in our roads with potholes and dangers than even the western road it is made for.

Limited quantities available

OP, Thanks for this post. HID Xenon lights has overwheaming advantages compare to our conventional bulbs, reason while it was invented.
If it is not, you woldnt have installed one in your car.

Most drivers on our roads are not trained, Less than 30 % went to proper driving school. So such issues, will definately arise. Drivers need constant
orientation to be abreast with most of this driving etiquettes.

Because drivers here are lacking in etiquettes or misuses a product does not means a product meant for better driving should be banned

I deal on Xenon headlight and in my advert thread on auto section i emphatically warned that the following tips and instruction below should be met when installing this bulbs.

1. Do not adjust HID lights upward; doing so can blind oncoming drivers. If in doubt, have a professional adjust the light beam.


In addition to the above, i made sure that my Xenon bulbs is of the best in quality and meets all the safety requirements, which includes:

2. Beam shape must be the same as the original one, preventing glare when cars meet.

If the above warning and driving etiquette is met, there wont be call for concern.

Marpol: Will be in Ogba before this week runs out, we will talk.

Call me ahead, cos i am off Ogba and always on the move.

elektra80: This is what I have been saying. HID lights are good no doubt but the way they are used in this country is disgusting. Most drivers in Nigeria are not qualified drivers. In advanced country, its mandatory that u dim your High Bean Headlights when within 300ft following another driver and 500ft when facing an upcoming driver. But in Nigeria, we see people with HID facing another driver with the whole high beam on without dimming. Now tell me how that would be safe.. it will blind the coming driver and this has led to lots of accidents. In other words.. the purpose of the HID xenon headlights is not achieved, rather the result is negative. If drivers can learn to dim their lights when facing upcoming vehicle this can be avoided .

Also, to allay your fear again, check our tip & warning reproduced below again:

Tips & Warnings
A complete, high-quality HID kit is not much more expensive than cheap discount brands. Use forums and chat boards to verify the preferred HID assemblies for your particular vehicle.

Do not adjust HID lights upward; doing so can blind oncoming drivers. If in doubt, have a professional adjust the light beam.
