To HID or Not to HID

[Guinness]

on and FR tdi, you say like fitting it to any TDI is easy lol. Tell you my hands are cut to shi* from doing this tha night lol.

 

[mhill]

do it I managed, eventually after help from this lot, to fit them in fR TDi and I'm a girl!

i thin the gauntlet has been laid down!! My Girlfriend as lovely as she is didn't even realise se had a head light bulb out so dread the thought of actually changing it

Get some hids, i got some of a mate very cheap, mine are 10k ones, with the same sidelights as yours

not a very clear pic, but you get the idea

10k??? brave IMO Dont you get a lot of police attention!

 

[StuPDi]

personally, i'd just change the bulbs for nice blue ones. anything over 6000k are horrible at dusk imo!!!!!

they look quite "cool" when not even switched on

Hi

I work in the motor trade and £50 seems cheap are they genuine bosch???????

 

[hon_n_gem]

how does everyone get on with passing MOTs with the HIDs?!

 

[Guinness]

yer there the same kit I bought last time matey, work and look the muts, have a warranty (for however good a warranty to china is). Had them aligned today apparantly the light pattern is to be expected from a conversion kit, but it will probably scrape an MOT test and would take a harsh tester to fail it, coming from and MOT centre giving it a proper light alignment.

£2 for a light alignment

up to now, none, touch wood. Looking to get some 6k bulbs soon, just trying to find a set. They are pretty crap sometimes, but others very good

I see that you have single bulb, like mine . Is it bi-xenon?
I am on my way to buying a kit, but my concern is how it will look ?(considering the fact that my headlamp has single h4 bulb).

Can you post some other pics with this car? lights on, day/night, dipped/high, pls.

Thanks.

I asked one of the blokes at my MOT place and he didn't even know that it was law that xenons needed washer jets! So mine's a dead cert pass!

 

[hon_n_gem]

lol nice, will hopefully be investing soon!

 

[canonman]

Wouldn't mind getting a set of these but which bulb type is it I need? And where do the balest bits stick on don;t wana drill and holes in the car really

 

[hon_n_gem]

yeah you will need H7s (dipped beams) and then the ballasts will go where ever you wanna put them! maybe a few cable ties will sort it out....but depending on what car you have its gonna be a tight squeeze!

 

[hon_n_gem]

got em fitted now:

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

What'd you reckon bud? Which ones did you for in the end?

 

[hon_n_gem]

Yeah they are excellent! Well worth the millions of scratches up my arm! haha...

The colour is a brilliant white colour and I just cant stop myslef driving at night

Went for HIDS4Us ultimate HID kit!
