05 06 CR-V HID Upgrade show

Let me introduce a little bit about my car, cause I'm newbie here. My car is 07 CR-V 2.0 and it is made in China.

The following is a kit of Single beam HID that I bought from an online store, it is incredible cheap "Only USD50".

It is including two stabilizers(35W), two 5000K bulbs. About the color of temperature, after our research 5000k is the most

reasonable and efficient. We tested 4300K, 5000k and 6000K, 4300K is too yellow, 6000K is little bit lean to blue its look cool but

just not work well in a rainy day. Light cant go through rain and cause a reflection... So 5000K is the best.

The quility of the kit is really good, my friend installed it for at least 6 months and its work well. It was no heat generated from the stabilizer...
so it is saft enough to fit into the headlight and the stabilizer itself has a self protection unit even if your wiring is wrong, no accident happen,
just the headlight not works proper only.


PS. Japanese 07 CR-V is bundle with HID and actually there is a room for a Panasonic stabilizer (at the bottom of the headlight, but it is in cylinder shape designed for Panasonic so cant fit my HID)

The 07 CR-V low beam headlight bundle with a len(I will show you guys what 04,05 CR-V can do), it is very easy for us to DIY without harming your car. I upgrade my CR-V with my bare hand

It is very hard to unplug two wires from the headlight (it was tight and small). And you can see there is enough room for a stabilizer(see below those plugs), so you dont need to put the stabilizers outside the headlight.

The difference from installed HID and original headlight, on your left hand side is HID ready (it is my car)
It is really bright (around 3 times brighter than the original one) I test it on the road with 4 lanes runway,
it is bright enough to see even a small piece of paper at the edge of the road. The original one is really sucks...

Wink 05 CR-V headlamp HID with BMW look angel eye

My friend had a 05 CR-V, his car upgraded to HID. But it is more expensive (cost him USD240 included labor)than my car due to 05 CR-V's headlight is no lens. If you put HID on your headlight without a lens someone will kill you ... So he installed an Euro Beam 74 MM lens it is 1/3 bigger than 07 CR-V...

Here is the trick, see the technician separates the cover of the headlight by using his bare hand...

HID can be swap from Lo beam to Hi beam in its low beam bulbs (05-08 CR-V Hi beam and Lo beam is in a separate bulbs. But 04 is in a same bulb in inside of headlight) so he got 4 Hi beam bulbs (2 pairs). Confusing? Ha ha. The techincian install lens withsome component that can let the newly installed lens can swap from lo beam to hi beam by using the same control unit on the car. So oh my god! he got 4 Hi beam bulbs On your left hand side is 05 CR-V, on your left s 07 CR-V

If anyone is interested of such HID, my opinion is you guys can buy it from China. But should do it in cost effective way by grouping all orders together than I can let the manufactory send it to a single location to save shipping cost because send a single kit outside of China is quite expensive compare with a single kit. It may cost you as same as the kit price.


I highly recommended new CR-V to install it cause you can DIY within a hour
