Bulbs

[reganlives]

Just out of interest what type of bulbs are used in the headlights? Are they H4? After having a quick look at my car I'm guessing they arent H4 I think as main beam is seperate from dipped so whats what please? Also, with the HID kits, are they all only dipped? Is there any versions which have dipped and main beams? Think its called bi zenon?

HB4 ( 9006 ) Dipped beam

HB3 ( 9005 ) High Beam

As for HID kits You really only need them for Dipped beam.... :winky:

Ahh so looks like I'll have to upgrade to some nice cool blue looking bulbs for main beam and the hid's will do for dipped. I'm more of a honda man myself so still got a lot to learn plus my car is still off the road til I get it repaired. Thanks for the help tho mate

I bought my HIDs from this guy on eBay:

140259156670

I got 8000k - They look bloody AMAZING and you can see so far at the night

They seem to attract alot of attention, loads of people looking at night!

Best £60 I've ever spent...

[reganlives]

You got any pics of your lights now mate compared to standard ones?

[reganlives]

sorry to revive this thread but seeing as the car should be going in for its repairs soon i'm thinking of ordering my HIDs when it goes in for its repairs but not sure if I should go for 6000k or 8000k.

Has anyone got any pics of their cars with the conversion please?

[aztecbandit1]

I'd go for the 6000k set matey as the 8000k set is quite blue in appearance :)

[Steviewevie]

6000K will be brighter (whiter) than 8000K too.

[reganlives]

Which set will have more useable light? Am I right in guessing the 6000k? I've noticed that with a lot of the aftermarket bulbs that you get with the blue coating the dont work very well in wet weather as the water absorbs the light and its like the headlights arent even on. Will this happen with 6000k or more of a chance with 8000k due to the tinge of blue?

I have These,

They look great and cheap too.

[reganlives]

whats the quality like of them mate? I've noticed quite a few people refer to dianeshop off eBay so was thinking of getting them from there. not sure on the price differences tho off the top of my head

[TommyH]

I also used These for my main beam,

The colour is very close to the HID's. HID's = 6000k, these main beams = 6500k.

IMO they are just as good as any, some people may disagree but they do what theyr'e supposed to do, and come with a 2yr warranty.

[reganlives]

Yes matey they are the right one`s

9006--HB4.....look up at the top of the page matey...Wozza put the list of bulbs a few posts up.( POST 5 )...( from Aztecbandit..) :winky:

[reganlives]

Cool...the cars booked in for thursday so as soon as I know the repairs are going well then I'll order the HID's. Bit confused on the pricing though as at one point it stated it in dollars and it worked out silly cheap...about £20 but then later it showed it as £'s.

[TommyH]

These ones from USA work out @ $85 which is £55, maybe a fiver cheaper than the ones i got

but add custom charges and the time it takes to arrive ( ive been waiting 2 weeks for item from USA ) and if anything goes

wrong with them, your paying postage again, just a thought.
