For those with HIDs

[LukeFR]

Hi Folks,

Ok so I'm on the lookout for a decent set of HIDs. I had them on my old Octavia vRS and the standard lights in the Leon are quite poor.

I want some 6000k HiDs obviously canbus free but any that you guys have that you can recommend for me please?

Thanks

Hi Luke. I have 6000k HID's in mine and look quality.

Get the terminator H7R kits off HID's direct, alot of people on here use them and I've not had any problems so far!!

That's them compared to my standard fogs!!

Thanks buddy, how much did you pay for them and where have ballasts been mounted?

 

[olitaylor07]

I think it was around £65 ish.

I mounted them on the side as you can see. However it does affect radio signal when switched on. There was a thread a while back about somebody fixing this problem however if you don't mount them straight onto metal I have been told this stops the interference aswell.

Thanks matey. That's ideally what I wanna pay.

That link in your other thread doesn't work, will have a gander.

They're £57 from HIDs Direct. I mounted mine on the plastic next to the light cover with sticky pads. Still get interference even on plastic though.

Found these

Just get it from the source so you can decide what bulb type and color temperature you want.

You'll want H7Rs for a reduced glare in your low beam. 6000K is good, although it has a tinge of blue which I myself don't like. I went for 4300K in my projector lenses.

 

[LukeFR]

What does it mean by Plastic and Metal Base?

 

[TarekElsakka]

Well, mounting the HID ballast to metal seems to worsen the Radio's signal and create a big interference, whereas mounting it to plastic seems to be less of a hassle when it comes to that. Mine are mounted in the same place as olitaylor, although under that metal part not above it (so as to not get water on it like taylor's ) lol.

Actually I'd order them off ebay then you're paypal protected etc. You can still choose colour temp off ebay if you read the description it says specify colour temp or you will be sent 6000K as default.

But yeah, the terminator kit is the one to go for.

I must get round to fitting my terminator kit!!

 

[LukeFR]

Thanks all. H7 6000k just ordered.

 

[TarekElsakka]

Great to hear, mate. Congratulations in advance and best of luck. Post pictures when you're done fitting them!

 

[LukeFR]

I shall, thank you for your help. Well ensure I set them up correctly.

 

[TarekElsakka]

No problem at all. When you are placing the HID bulb inside its housing, make sure you position it correctly and close the holder on it so it wouldn't move and for the alignment to be correct.

 

[LukeFR]

Hi All,

Rec'd the HIDs

Can I ask how you secured the bulbs properly? I could be stupid but couldn't work out to secure them properly in the hole.

Cheers

Just using the clip like any standard bulb, you just have to take the wires over the top of the clip thats all
