Hid kit

[fuzzy232]

yes H7R I got for main beam. I got 6k Ice white from HID direct. Id recommend getting the slim kit as the big kit made things abit trickier due to TDI's not having much room to mount (used front crash bar)

Ok, thanks. Is it not possible to fit the ballasts etc into the back of headlight unit?

 

[fuzzy232]

I think with the slim kit yes, so Id get the slim saves you hassle

I've got the H7R ones and think I've been flashed once in the fog, passed 2 sets of MOTs as well.

I got the normal size ballasts as the slim ones weren't an option at the time. I mounted one on the passenger side inside wing and the other on the side of the drivers headlight cover.

Ok, thanks guys.

Anyone confirm if the normal one is ok, or do you need a canbus one?

 

[Davidsr]

Normal is fine, CANBUS is for MK2 Leon etc.

for main beam you want H7 or H7R (anti glare, which id recommend). I bought my kit from HID direct. Good price and good quality kit

You mind putting up a link to the ones you bought mate?? Their site is a bit confusing.

Also is the light very white or is it more blue/white??

 

[fuzzy232]

White light on mine. I got the 6k 35w hid kit on hid direct. Websites changed bait so don't know which ones I bought only that it is a 35w kit with 6k bulbs and h7r. I'll get pictures up tommorow

Is this what you mean? But then buy projectors aswell?

Are those HIDS any good? they are set at a good price, too good to be true in fact!

Those are 50W which isn't really needed I just bought h7r 6000k bulbs from that shop and they are better than ones from ebay which flicked up to the left more. The do have slim 35W ballasts so I'd ask them for a kit. 6000k do have a bit of blueness but not loads, for more of an OEM look get 4300k or 5000k

 

[tomhowroyd]

Okay, thanks for the info. I don't need to bulb error cancellers do I? How is this system so much cheaper than the ones on HIDS4U? Just worried about the website, and if it is a full kit, bulbs etc. Also are they slim, ie fit in the light housing?

Thanks for the help, but if right these will be bought!

 

[BeezaDave]

and does this set need to be hooked up to the battery??

 

[liamcupra]

just bought one of their kits (6000k 50w) basically ive found out your basically paying like a extra 70 quid if you bought them from hids4u which are 55w couldnt think what 5w would make a massive difference?? tryed their kits before on my old car (golf mark 4) and loads of people was asking where i got my kit from because they looked really tidy and not this cheap chavy look.. only reason i bought from their is because ive had one of theirs same kits before

 

[liamcupra]

the kit cost me £59.78 with a discount off a astra website haha!

 

[liamcupra]

saved myself about £7

 

[Warning]

liam did you get the H7s or the H7Rs?

 

[liamcupra]

i got the h7 mate some one told me that h7r really dont make a difference mate not hundred percent sure on that tho
