Sidelights and HID's

[R 20vt J]

My HID's have been fitted for quite a while now, but when i fitted them one light is more blue than the other.

It looks like one is blue and one is white. I was told this was cause by me fitting on side and trying it, then fitting the other.

How can i fix this problem? Would new bulbs sort it?

Also what sidelights do people buy when they have HID's?

Thanks, Ross

the only thing that can affect the colour of the light is the bulbs, so it must be them.

the ballast mearly supplies the same power to any K rating of bulb.

I thought it was the bulbs. I think i will buy a new set of bulbs and see if that works.

Also with chrissy! We need links lol

do these just fit as a stright replacement kyle?

also would they go with 6000k or are they more blue like 8000-10000k?just thought that they would look a bit weird with 6000k hids?

Yes they just push in, bit tight though so you have to be gentle, only push the plastic casing not the LED part and they only work one way so would advise testing them before putting it all back together as i found out.

Do admit they look bit blue but they match 6000k perfect, I have 6000k and are pretty much identical

Do the old sidelights just pull out of the chrome bit?

sort of

you have to try and wiggle it out, tilt it down one side and pull a bit then tilt the other way and pull a bit until it comes free

careful not to brake the clip or lose the bulb in the headlight

best to remove the headlight but can be done without removing the headlight.

I have just ordered my HID's so hope they will be here soon

Normally I go for the LED sidelights always seem to be impressive

Yeh they will seem solid then do need a good wiggle to get them out, best to remove the ligth and ge to screw drivers to leaver it out. Be gentle with them though lol

With these LED sidelights will they work on original lights just pop the old ones out and put in the new ones? or do i need hids with the ballast to power them?

 

[Riko]

sidelights are sidelights. Pull out, pop in.
