8k on my old car

the blue looks too blue on 8k's, id prob prefer the 6k, you got a pic of that?

also can you get the fog lights in blue aswell cos think it looks a bit odd having full beams in blu/white and fog lights in normal colour!

 

[LEE69]

Yeah click my car below for my readers ides

 

[LEE69]

Actually they are 8k, i don't think i have one of 6k, i can get one tonight

 

[scarface]

cheers, are they easy to fit? do u know of any companies that actually supply and fit cos i aint got a clue!

 

[LEE69]

Very easy mate, I'm sure someone as posted a how 2 on here, it's so straight forward.

I have the 6k 55w (uk seller) and previously the 35w 6k (from diane shop) Diane shop are crap at after sales support, and the fact they are in Hong Kong means it takes ages for a replacement. Do yourself a favour, spend an extra tenner and get them from a UK seller. Im 99% sure all the kits from all the sellers are identical, just different label/box.

I wouldn't want more than 6k on roads tbf. I know you don't get the best effect with non projection headlights, but driving around with bright blue lights, just shouts "I'm a cheap aftermarket kev"

Headlights shouldn't be blue, they should be white!

Oh, and I wouldn't recommend using 35w bulbs with 55w ballasts for obvious reasons!

Mine are 6k, had them on for about 2 years now, bought from Dianne Shop on eBay, couldn't praise them enough (about £40).

Passed 2 MOT's & really light up the road, without causing blindness to others (never been flashed/stopped etc).

Mine are pure white with a hint of blue when warming up. I wouldn't goto 8k as the light starts to disperse more at 8k, which isn't a good thing (especially when not having the correct reflectors !)

same here :w4nk:

Sorry to go off topic, but, as people say that they don't need to use their full beams anymore, does anyone have the 80 or 100w bulbs for full beam now as they don't need to be left on?

 

[LEE69]

Yeas i have PIAA in my main beam, and they never get used now.

 

[Markyboyt]

I dont understand why people don't need there full beam now, my full beam still adds a lot more vision over the HID's, surely if the beam is set right the lights should still shine the same distance in effect. Only thing I find is signs are illuminated from a further distance.

 

[LEE69]

Everything is lit up better now, i have no need to use mine on the lanes i use around here.

I did 2 comparison pics of mine they're here in post 39 http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=208498&page=2

I just find that I still need to put main beam on for the best vision, otherwise it is a little short still. I do need to get some whiter bulbs in the main beam and the fog lamps now though

 

[LEE69]

Same as mine, they look like they are dimply lit and broken

The difference between the dipped/main is so great i have no use for high beam.

I also know the roads extremely well, and could drive on the fog-lights to be fair (obviously i don't)

Looks like you got the same ballasts as me, your warranty doesn't sound very hopeful

Just off to reply to your thread about the crackling.
