Here are some pictures from the difference in my headlamps before and after: Before: After: I think i understand now more of what they were trying to say about the reflective vs projector headlights... I didnt realize that the journeys dont have projector headlights....

I've read articles very similar to that numerous times... as long as you have the HIDs adjusted to aim at the ground and not straight forward into the eyes of other drivers there really isnt an issue... And if it was more, more car wouldnt be coming stock with HID option. Plus only older cars come with reflector housings anymore... majority of cars are running projector housings so it helps to keep the light aimed down if you dont have your high beams on... I understand the issue and most people would agree that when someone slaps 4300k or 6000k HIDs in a reflector housing on their 04 chevy suburban you WILL get blinded as they go by... BUT for people with the stock projector housing running 4300K, as long as you put them in and adjust to make sure the angle was not thrown off you will be just fine. I have 6000k in my dart and no one ever flashes their high beams at me to signal that my high beams may be on... But thats also cause i took the time to make sure the headlights were angled the correct way. Lastly, I dont care what that article says... if you see the difference between the stock yellow incandescent lamp and the 4300k HID bulbs at night the visibility is 100% better. The fact that yellow light is better for your eye has zero to do with visibility at night and for people who wear corrective lenses (like my fiancee), my personal opinion is that its would help her to see easier and read signs from further away and be LESS of a hazard on the road. She comments constantly when we are in my dart at night that its so much easier to see everything with my headlights vs. her 07 altima with the yellow incandescent lights... and now her 2016 Dodge Journey... My opinion, is if you have an older car with reflective housings... DO NOT PUT HID BULBS IN THEIR, YOU WILL BLIND PEOPLE!!!! but for people with newer cars... Have at it!

Hi all! Im a newbie here but veteran over at the Dodge-Dart.Org forum! I have driven Dodge my whole life! I had a 2006 Durango SLT HEMI, 2007 Durango Limited HEMI, now I have a 2015 Dodge Dart 1.4T 6spd. My fiancee was unfortunately in a horrible accident a couple weeks ago where a lady doing about 60MPH blew a red light and t-boned her... She is fine! She was smart enough to see the lady and speed up enough to have the rear driver's side door hit instead of the driver door... Anyways, we went ahead and bought her a brand new 2016 Journey SXT Blacktop! YAY for another DODGE!!!! LOL My fiancee LOVES the journey thus far but the first thing she told me when we drove off the lot was, "Babe, I want those cool headlights that you have on your dart!" I have XenonSupply 6000K HIDs on my dart, and they are the CANbus slim ballasts.... https://www.xenonsupply.com/collections/dodge-dart/products/dodge-dart-hid-xenon-kit They came with the wiring harness and the capacitor BUT when I hooked everything up they "worked" but i was getting a bulb out notification on my dash... I took the harness and capacitor off and plugged the ballasts directly into the OEM plugs and have not have any issues since! No flickering, no light out messages... NOTHING! I have been told by a member on the Dodge-dart.org forum the reason for this is because the dart has a CANbus system and since the ballasts are CANbus compatible they DO NOT require the wiring harness or capacitor! NOW, my final question for everyone here would be... Does anyone know if the 2016 Journey also has this CANbus system integrated? As XenonSupply does make HIDs for the journey, I would like to go with them again! They are a great company, their products are well manufactured and their customer service is amazing! Heres a link for the Journey HIDs: https://www.xenonsupply.com/collections/Dodge-Journey (they have both headlight and fog light HID kits)
