HID Conversion Kits

[Weird Al Yankovic]

You have asked this very same question 3 times in less than a month and they are your only posts too.

You best solution carlover is to go get the HID and then look around for a car to match that, can't go wrong that way.

It's a conversion, usually made by chavs with Saxos, to the headlights that makes them appear an intense white or blue.

You can get bulbs with a blue hue in them and do a cheap conversion by just changing the bulbs.

what can you say about the HID convertions from germany?

 

Most probably very well made?

[Conniff]

But the instructions are in German so hard to understand unless you speak same language.

Proper HID lights (High Intensity Discharge) as opposed to coloured halogen bulbs must have automatic headlight self-levelling fitted. This is why they are so expensive as a factory option on most cars.

 

Without automatic self-levelling, they are illegal to use in this country (indeed anywhere in the EU). Automatic self-levelling does not include the rotary dial in most cars - this is manual adjustment, not automatic.

I have HID conversions on both my japanese cars and they give twice the light of xenon bulbs and are amazing value for the money. about £90 a set only for dipped beam mind. so you need to have seperate main and dipped bulbs.

the best colour is 6K ( degrees ) which is near pure white. higher than this and they get bluer, very chave. lower and they tend towards yellow.

The kits are usually just plug and play and providing they are adjusted you wont have any problem. just make sure you get the correct bulb fitting H1/H3 etc.

Also use less power about 35w each against uprated bulbs which can 100w.

I have had mine in for about 18 months and no probs with MOT or people flashing at me.

combined with upgraded mains and driving lights its like driving in daylight.

All I can say is that I hope they are self-levelling if they are to be legal

I've been called worse.

 

I guess if I ever have a question about HID conversion kits and start a thread some other mod may ban me???

I'll make a note to make sure it happens.

Thank you:D

BTW, you have informed your insurers that you are now driving a modified vehicle - haven't you?

 

Otherwise, in the event of a claim, your insurers have a get out from paying you anything...
