To HID or Not to HID

[hon_n_gem]

Ok....just ordered some "White" Leds....

heres how they turned out:

Yes looks very silly! however,

Should i get HIDs fitted to make the main beams more white!?

i would have thought my Philips Xtreme bulbs would have looked ok against the LEDs.

I went HID today, just fitted very time consuming (not hard just fidly). They look the muts though HIDS and only cost £49 deliverd

ebay,

the kit I bought, took a week and 1 day to arrive, excellent packaging and work fine. Spent £80 on exactly the same kit last year, same instructions and everything!

Yes you should mate! Here's mine with HIDS.

Or you could go for some "Sports Blue" halogen bulbs - they look much better than standard bulbs. That's what I had before the HIDS. Not a very clear picture but this is the White halogen bulbs.

Are the Halogen bulbs if you dont wanna fork out for HIDS. They were a lovely colour and looked Xenony on the road! As you looked at them they looked crystal white too. Would recommend them. My Bosch HIDS were only £15 though - the expensive bit was postage at £35.

yeah im getting persuaded! how long does it take to fit a kit?! i know just changing the sidelights took 10 mins of skin scraping fun! how easy is it to fit?!

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Depends what engine you have.

Mine personally was such a pain in the ass. I have a 130 diesel. My god did I get

TDIs are fun to fit em on, do able just fidly and you need to think about how to do it. Took me 30mins but had fitted HIDs to a 1.2 before, that was including drilling the headlamp covers.

yes but only just

 

[Andybon]

if ever if a car needed lowering

Its on the to do list, cant go too low, because theres speedbumps everywhere where i live, looking for some decent 35mm lowering springs
