Hid Kit Installed At Last

Noel · December 8, 2007

Finally got round to taking an "After installation" picture

it's a major difference in all fairness and thankfully they don't seem to be blinding oncoming drivers as i haven't received a single "flash" yet

got my 6000K Hid kit from HIDsdirect on eBay, nicely made kit and good value :winky:

also bought 4750K MTEC main beam bulbs and they seem actually blue-er than the HIDs.... actually don't see much of a difference using full beam since, only to let others know that i have dipped

here you go Dan :)

9005 blue

i can take a picture of them on tomorrow if you want, but my HIDs are 6000K and these bulbs look blue-er so would be perfect for your 8000k

i always wondered how does HID work on full beam ??? for say flashin ur lights

coz mine take good 20sec to walm up so surley first time ur flash nothing will happen apart from a little spark lol

You don't normally fit HID for full beam..

Also, switching on and off quickly, as in flashing will reduce the life of the bulbs..

RedLexus · December 10, 2007

i fitted one too , omfg I hardly need headlights anymore!

Can you take a pic for me please then Noel, i don't want to waste any money on bulbs (philip bluevision my arse!) that still turn out to be yellow. Fogs take the same type of bulbs too if i remember correctly?

no fogs are the same as the low beams (hids).... not the high beams

Dan you have a PM :winky:

Noel · December 10, 2007

all on ... low and high ;) ... can't really see much as the HIDS are too much for my camera :(

I've been caught in the past buying the cheapest so now i tend to try and find a happy medium ...

Link i posted the KIT is probably made in china but the wiring is top notch and the box and branding are all custom branded.... he's obviously sell loads not ones and two's

regards fitting them to the fogs ,can't see why not as you wouldn't be switching them on and off the whole time...

remember to get HB4 for the fogs ;)

WylieCoyote · December 11, 2007

HID's are the number one mod as far as I'm concerned. They siginificantly improve you vision and look excellent. Main beams are kinda useless for HID's though. I'd like them for my fogs too, but as I only ever use foglights when it's foggy (unconventional these days I know!!!) it would seem expensive and therefore I can't see the benefit.

mmmm .... never noticed this before but during daytime driving with no lights on, if i flash the lights at someone to let them out the dims and full be come on together.... i always thought that only the full beams came on when you flashed?

Is this the same on everyones?
