powerpuff mookie 0 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I find it on e-bay. There are several HID conversion kit. I take this one for example. Prices are around 250-350 euro. What do you think about this sort of kit? Is it efficient? What power should I choose : 4300K, 5000K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K,...? I have classical halogen (no xenon) headlights. Do you think, this sort of kit can do problems (reliability, temperature,...). NB : If I buy a conversion kit, I will install a high pressure wash for headlights. With that, it will be legal (Belgium laws). -------------------------------------------- Example of conversion kit HID Xenon Conversion Kit for All Cars 8000K Blue Color Product Descriptions or visit www.HIDexpress.com to see the HID Kits for your vechicle model !!!

Brettster 0 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 sounds ok :) but try to stay away from the higher rated bulbs as it just changes the colour and actually produces less light on the road (thanks Zee :zee: ). so the 5000 and 6000 ones are the ones to go for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmparts_guru 0 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 (edited) going for HID/Xenon is indeed a very good idea, since it will give you much better vision, and it will look cool. However, there any many kits available outside, and not many of these are good. A lot is crap, meaning a lot of failure rate. A lot of parts are made in Taiwan or China and then repackaged in Japan. (see: Japanese parts) For example, one of my friends installed McCulloch (happens also to advertise by putting their ballast into water) and needed to replace his bulbs and ballasts 4 times. Go for the brands that use wellknown ballasts, like Hella, Philips, panasonic, or Osram. Edited June 16, 2004 by jdmparts_guru Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinBarber 1,914 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Anything above 5000k colour temp will produce blue light. Stock HIDs fitted to Lexus, BMW etc are 4300k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
