daft question (HIDs)

[Mat]

Can you flash then with the bi-xenon H4 bulbs? maybe that's what andygolf has

 

[Riko]

So the ones im showing in the ebay link are the correct ones for my headlights?

I'd be interested to know how effective the dual xenon bulb is. I've seen dodgy video's of the bulb in action, it actually moves when you flash. Either tilting ones, or ones which get longer and shorter to compensate. They didn't look too convincing

Not quite right adam, the kits in the link aren't the type where they have a HID section and a seperate halogen main beam element, the ones in the links have one hid section that is solenoid activated to move it between the dipped and high beam positions. The movement between the dipped and main positions just moves the light from the HID unit onto either the reflectors for dipped beam or the reflectors for main beam.

You just need a bi-xenon H4 HID kit, Got one of the kits for a mates bora which is H4, the kit is about £20 dearer but well worth it IMHO. This is the kit we got for his Bora
H4 Bi-Xenon

ahh thats very interesting... i stand corrected

Yeh you can flash with them, there solenoid operated so flash as quickly as the solenoid can move the HID unit. Mates had his on his bora for around 3months now with no problems.

As long as your headlights are H4 bulbs, which they should be, maybe worth taking the bulb out and checking just to be on the safe side.

Very effective, the ones in the link I posted have been fitted to my mates Bora for around 3 months, had no problems with them and they are very good on main and dipped. When we fitted them they felt like a well made item and are chunky but fit well into the headlight. His are the sort that are moved in and out on a solenoid to move them between high/lo beams.

Good info, cheers! Have a friend considering these types, glad to hear positive first hand experience about them.

andygolf: have you found the instructions or whatever on how you can flash with HIDs on full beam?

Fl@pper: How much cash you wanting me to send your way?

[Mat]

ah, ok then! cheers fella! will sned a donation laters

 

[Mat]

Think I'm gonna go HID on full beams now

 

[Adam R]

mat, i am still very sceptical about flashing on the main beams with HID's installed.

 

[Mat]

be rate

will just have to use hazards to let people come through/acknowledge people

 

[Adam R]

LOL!

TBH hids in the main beam would be amazing when driving at night, but now its getting lighter in the evenings i might wait till next winter to fit my 3rd set of HID's

that made me chuckle. Some people don't even have one set, or are unsure, you'll soon be on not 1, not 2, but 3 sets

 

[Adam R]

well i think i am the first to have 2 sets , my car looks amazing at night though!
this is my car with side lights (super bright 9 LED tower) and my front custom driving lights (with HID's fitted)

 

[Mat]

Think they're the same sidelights as me!

don't think you're the 1st to have 2 sets! possibly 1st to have HID fogs

Rock on 1.4 power!!!

 

[Adam R]

fair enough...

i have had quite an interest in those ever since i made them. i should start producing them

 

[andygolf]

ive had 2 sets in my car for nearly a year.and before anyone asks sorry i cant find those bloody instuctions sorry lads

 

[Adam R]

lol andy that aint no good!
