Which HID Kit to buy?

[big eck]

i second that, both myself and a mate ordered a set at the same time,........ mine lasted 3 hours his about 6hrs, sent them back recorded delivery (cost of £58) just to send them back, they still (4months later) claim they still not had them, hmmmm, stick to UK peeps
HID's DIRECT in manchester little bit more but any problems and they can't do enough to help you (apparently), altho mine are ok, just need the money back off diane shop

You'll NEVER see the money mate lol

Hello all

I have just bought myself a Cupra R - comes on Thursday

I really want HIDS - I am willing to spend upto £80 for a set - was just wondering if the cheap sets are as good as the higher priced sets such as these:

I dont mind paying more if the quality is better

Also cant decide between 4300k and 6000k, if anyone has comparable pictures of these that would be great

Thanks
Andy

i brought the same make as ur link for my ep3 civic type r a yr ago, at 8000k, no problem at all, is super bright with a hint of blue.

I have a vid of 8k note i also had 8k main beam too.
These were in projector liights.

I stress this a lot. whether you spend £30 or £130 you will get the same kit from the same factories in a posher box.
so all you are doing is buying the warrenty. so if your a gambler like me go for a hong kong set. my dianne shop ones have been in my car for over 18 monthes now and still going strong.

100% agree same production line just a different sticker/box at the end of it.

Nice vid lee - 8K's seem very bluey, looks like 6k is the way forward

 

[LEE69]

I shall do another when these 6k have "burnt" for a bit.

 

[DannyC87]

lee, are you just swapping the bulbs and keeping the same balast? if so i might change to 4300k for a trial

 

[nickyboy]

5000k

Yes i am.

 

[DannyC87]

cheers!

 

[StokieShinobi]

5000k

Didn't know you could get 5k's - that'd probably be the perfect comprimise

 

[nickyboy]

That`s what i`m going for. I had 6000s in my old CTR and whilst they do look good from the outside, lighting up the road ahead wtih a blue tint, sucks

 

[LEE69]

I'll do a vid of mine tonight now they have "burnt in" a bit.

 

[LEE69]

here's 6000k hids
They are brighter than the 8000k and the signs light up hite now, rather than blue like they do with 8000k.

PIAA high beam 100w bulbs half way through.
