Hids 4 U Pics Please!

[Toxic]

There you go guys...

So does the matt bit face downwards to stop light reflecting on the bottom & back up dazzling people ?

 

[Toxic]

dunno since got the pic from hids4u. but would sound about right.

 

[Moley RUFC]

I would imagine so, supposedly gives a focused Xenon look

The beam pattern with the nightbreakers is already broken, so I reckon the antiglare will help ..

I don't know but for an extra tenner I thought it was worth it even if it lowered the possibilitys of being stopped by the plod.

Every car you see with Xenon has the solid round light so the light is very precise rather than being spread all over the lense. The new Civic has a HID light that covers the entire lense but as this is OEM I don't suppose it's a problem

looked to see wehre i was gonna fit the ballasts and thought inside the wing ontop of the wheelarch with the sticky pads...

however seen this pic

lookslike hes stuck a screw into the headlight unit.. surely thats not too good as it effectively breaks the seal of the unit?


also noticed this guys kits a 55w... one i was sent is a 35w

I zip tied the N/S ballast up near the battery & he O/S one is wedged inbetween the washer bottle pipe & inner wing.

I think the above kit isn't the Ultimate kit so it won't have the "soft" start digital ballasts & uses 55W so the ECU doesn't throw up a bulb failure.

That's right, I also agree with where you have put your ballasts. I shall be doing the same

well they're in.......... stuck the ballasts on with the doublesided pads on the headlamp like the above pic. may wack a self tapper in it aswell just to make sure it doesnt fall off.

have to say i'm muchos impressed... the light is absolutely bright white. will get some pics tomorrow

Sounds good, very interested to see what the anti-glare bulb looks like prior to me fitting mine

There you go Moley

Look good mate, be interested if the anti-glare gives a different beam pattern

 

[S2TTB]

install pics from mine...

short vid of the start up of the hids... u'll see they come on pretty blue then turn to a bright white.

i'll need to try get pics of them at night as when i tried on friday night the camera didnt show them up too well

Nice tidy install s2ttb ,
i've got the same kit had a bit of a nosey where to fit the ballasts this morning
was going to fit them in the same place - did you attatch the ballasts with
double sided tape?

Hopefully fitting mine tomorrow

great pictures & vid , ought to be a sticky admin

 

[S2TTB]

i just fired them on with the doublesided pads which were supplied.... tempted to maybe stick a short self tapper in each ballast just to make sure they dont come off.

Maybe a good idea...........not sure if i would trust just the tape , not too sure if the
ballasts would get hot - i think the resistor/soft start units do

i'm thinking of getting a set of MTEC HIDS from Hids-Direct. Apparently they are specifically designed for a MK5 golf so should fit perfect on our leon MK2. they come in 4500K, 6000K and 8000K.
gonna go for 6000K if i do.

Anyone have any experience of Hids-direct?

Are HIDs4u not cheaper specially when used with a discount code?

S2TTB - Are those the anti-glare HIDs? Look really good. You need some LED sidelights now to match the colour Hint *cough* sig
