Where to get a HID kit?

[beavz_28]

Nice... What about 12k might go for them i got a white leon so the bluer the better but dont want to fail mot or get any bother off the police..

 

[LEE69]

Check out some 12k vids on you tube, pretty sure the police wont like them.

 

[beavz_28]

Hmm wish i could see and compare them ok mat thanks for you help appreciate it

Ok, firstly...sorry to revive an old thread but I'm sat here getting ready to order an HID kit and I just want a bit of advice before I part with my cash so I can get everything sorted all at the same time.

I've decided that I'm going to buy the kit that most people seemed to be impressed with:-http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220486482784&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_5585wt_941 off Ebay for £57 all in.......yeah?

So with that sorted, my question to you is......which side light and fog bulbs should I go for to match the HID's? I've seen motors driving around with standard side lights running along side HID's and it just looks plain darft, so I'd quite like to get it sorted all at once! I've seen a couple of people mention LED side lights, but which ones? And will this combination cause issues with the plod or MOT's?

Cheers for any help you can give!

I used these.

They're a pure white and have not got me into any trouble, including at MOT time. They match my 5000k's well and would blend into 6000k's nicely too.

 

[D_O_U_G_I_E]

Cool! Cheers for that!

Any ideas on fogs? I know it not like you actually have them on that often, but it'd be nice if they matched when you do

These were recommended to me from a member on SCN for 6K HIDs

Fogs;

Will those LED foglamp bulbs project enough/as much light onto the road?

Got these on my mates, my missus and my car, they are good quality bulbs.

 

[D_O_U_G_I_E]

Well for how much the side lights cost, I might just order a set of each and see which ones look/work best. Not so sure about the fog's though. Might do a bit more research first

I'm going to be doing a load of maintenance and cosmetic work on the LCR at the end of the month Gavin (because of it being sat up for the past 5 months practically unused), so I'll be fitting mine then. You're welcome to come round and help out if you like!

 

[D_O_U_G_I_E]

In all fairness, from what I've seen and what people have said, it should be very simple and I shouldn't need anything else at all (about from some 20amp fuses to replace the 15amp ones, apparently )

 

[LEE69]

You get everything you need in the box.
I used a loom as I was getting interference.
No need to replace the fuses at all.

 

[LEE69]

Yeah radio. all standard headunit as well, strange but the loom sorted it out.

Can I just revive this thread?

I'm really stuck at the moment, on two things. Firstly 6000k or 8000k

Secondly, go for HIDS4U 55W kit at £80 or Dianeshop (seem the best ebay kit) at £30-£40?

Any advice please?

George

 

[LEE69]

8k is too blue imho 6k might be better.
55w yes but get the R been proved better in standard headlights.

 

[George 3G]

The H7R Lee?

 

[LEE69]

Yeah

 

[LEE69]

Can't see how they would melt as they run cooler than halogen bulbs that they replace.
I run 55w watt in my angel eyes and would in standards

 

[MarcGreenaway]

Im a bit clueless when it comes to these HID kits... my question is.. does my 55 plate LCR have a canbus system as im unsure which kit to order?

Thanks

 

[LEE69]

No that only came in on the Mk2 Leon.
