Hid

[JamesKnapp]

hi everyone I want to upgrade to hid but they are offering me 3 different ones h1 h7 and I think h9. I have a 1999 is 200 sport. I think they are different sizes so which one fits?

[J Henderson]

None of those. You need a 9005/HB3 kit.

[JamesKnapp]

The ones I saw were on madmotors called ultra vxd h1 h4 or h7.so where can I find those 9005/hb3 ones too?

[petayV8]

HB3? HB3 is the high beams, didnt see you mentioned you want to convert your high beams? If not its HB4 you want which is for dipped beam which is what most ppl convert...

[JamesKnapp]

ahh ok so hb4 is dipped, hb3 is high. cheers for that. I will do dipped first then see if its worth doing high beam

[petayV8]

If you do alot of night driving on country roads ide recommend doing the highs, as i really cant say many good things about the lights on the IS200! but i hardly even use my highs so not worth it for me. Ive got 5000k low beams in mine and they are great, never had any issues from other drivers flashing or anything either and doesnt seem to scattered like many cars on the road that try and pull it off. Of course it wont be long until someone comes along and trys to talk you into HIDs from HIDS4U which control the beams very accurately but you pay the price

If your getting HIDs souly for the benifit of them been a much better light output then go for 5000k or even better 4300k. If your doing it for the cosmetic reason also then 5000k or 6000k. 8000k look silly though

[JamesKnapp]

I quick like the blue tint that the 8k produce though but I'm assuming will lose vision. maybe 8ks for dipped and 4-6ks for highs. cheers for that info

[J Henderson]

Whoops, HB4 is indeed the fitment you want. Thanks for correcting me, Petay. :shutit:
