Hi all - I have a 2018 Mazda 3 touring and recently replaced my main projectors with the plug-n-play SL1 headlight from DIode DYnamics. These bulbs are pricey but SO WORTH IT. And honestly, it's 2019 - someone PLEASE TELL ME WHY the industry is still selling any cars above base model with HALOGEN BULBS!? Anyways, I am absolutely IN LOVE with the performance and color of the new SL1 Bulbs from DD. Now I am looking to upgrade the DRL/High Beams as well but want to ensure the coloring of the lights is the same as my low beams while also preserving DRL function. The SL1 emits 1630 lumens (a beautiful cool white that refrains from the, in my opinion, cheap and obnoxious looking blue tint many replacement bulbs have. I have since replaced every bulb in the care with Diode Dynamics products apart from these. Diode Dynamics sells a low beam HID conversion kit that I was thinking of purchasing in the 5000K or 6000K bulb coloring to install. The kit comes with the following:
- One pair 9005 CNLight HID bulbs in your choice of bulb color
- Two 35w super-slim ballasts (HYLUX 2A88 Slim CANBUS)
- One Premium Waterproof Relay (optional)
- Mounting hardware for ballasts (3M mounting pads)
In my research I've found that in order to preserve the functionality of DRL with High Beams you need to both had an HID conversion kit plus 9005 bulbs? Is this true? If so, in this case - this kit includes everything I need correct? I appreciate your input!
