Which Hid's advise

[LEE69]

Yes as the bulbs are powered by ballasts.

 

[Dione J]

Have you got any pics of the rear of the lights?

 

[LEE69]

I haven't no, sorry.

 

[LEE69]

Here are some
They just snipped/cut the edge of the cover.

Just took a pic of mine.
The first is the back of the headlight with the cover fitted, the second is the cover pulled back showing the inside so you can understand the set up.

When driving I notice that I can sometimes see my hids flicker. Is this normal?

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

take it you've checked all connections. Could be a ballast on the way out maybe or if you have LED these flicker quite stongly when ones about to go

 

[Trublu07]

Leds seem fine. I haven't checked the connections as I am not too sure what I am doing lol

HID's

Hi Guys,

I know this has been covered numerous time but has anyone bought of these guys

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Xenon-HID-Con...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item4cec249814

I seem to remember reading a post but tried the search and can't find anything anyway going to order today if they are any good

 

[Pudders_]

Just wondering which one people have gone for e.g 4300, 5000 or 6000k. Or what would you recommend? Also easy to fit?

 

[ScoobyJawa]

6000k nice blue tinge but not too blue, yes easy to fit, about 30 mins, just don't secure the ballasts to metal or you can get interference

 

[JamJay]

6000k is screaming "pull me" to the fuzz, people are always getting pulled up for blue tinted lights around this way but I just cruise on by with my pure white 5000k's

 

[LEE69]

I have had 8k 6k and now 4.3k all pics are in my sig, I prefer 4.3k

Sent from my Galaxy S using Tapatalk so excuse any spelling mistakes.

6000k is screaming "pull me" to the fuzz

i've not had any bother with my 6000k HIDs and i've had them on for nearly a year now

but i would defo be changing to 5000k ones if i develop any unwanted attention, they are just much the same without the blue colour. my bro has just fitted 5000k H7Rs to his Fabia VRS and they look the biz

I do plan to change to 5000K H7R bulbs in the long run

do you not need to change the ballasts as well as the bulbs???

 

[LEE69]

No you can change the bulbs providing they are the same as the ballast ie 35w or 55w

 

[ScoobyJawa]

No probs here either with 6000k and the filth for over a year and MOT'd.

which hid's

been looking around the net and theres quite a variety of prices/spec on hid lights. question is does cheap mean its a lower quality?
ive seen some people have problems where as others don't. bottom line is it worth going to somewhere like hids4u paying the extra for piece of mind? or take a chance on the mighty ebay. ideally id like the full package dipped and main beam to be hid spec, there for do i get the hi-low kit seen on hids4u? i beleive i need the h7bulb kit. any information would be greatly appreciated. i might just get a lod of torchs in strap them to my front grill and go 4 the rally slag look.
