Just fitted my 5000k hid kit to my 00 golf turbo and what a difference , the road is now lit !
i got them from hids-direct again as i got a set from them a year ago for my civic type r with no probs at all which was the 6000k kit , and now got another set for my golf but this time a 5000k kit as the 6 was a bit to blue which i fitted to the civic .
easy to fit etc and makes loads of difference to these early dark nights and looks good to ! will post some pics soon . there only £60 including next day delivery and you can choose from 3k to 12k but 6k + is a bit of a police stopper as there very blue !
i might get another set for the full beam but not sure yet :undecided:

Nice, im thinking of getting some, but i want to change my headlights to projector lights 1st.
What lights do you have, or are they standard?
-
just standard lights as they do the job , will get some pics tommorow .
i should of taken some at work as i fitted one hid first on drivers side and tested it with the normal light the other side and the normal bulb looked stupid compared to the hid one !!
-
just standard lights as they do the job
be prepared to be flashed left right and centre then!
-

No they don't "do the job" they will be sending light all over the shot and more to the point straight into peoples eyes, quite dangerous imo.
If your going to do a half baked job of fitting xenon's (technically you need head lamp washers and auto levelling sensors but lets not go there) AT LEAST use proper projector lenses. There is a reason why proper xenon's are a £1000+ option and yours was £60.
Still, bet they look good :D
-
it pisses me off when I see xenons without projector lenses, 99% of the time they blind you. Also pisses me off when chavs have them and turn them on in the day jsut so you know they have xenons.
wtf..
Oh and fogs on too.

hids during the day is one thing, around my neck of the woods the latest craze is audi style leds in the front bumper,
but its true when they say hids without a projector style headlamp is fooking shocking,

HAHAH !
Same here to. Saw a Fiat Panda with make shift DRLs. Had a good chuckle to myself :D

I had hid's fitted on my golf, was well worth the £35, i had 8000k. They looked the dogs danglies, i did get flashed rather alot and i agree that they did blind people. Ive just fitted another set in my vrs, there good but i dont get flashed by people as there not as bright for some reason :huh:
-
makes we lol when people moan about hids on non projector headlamps, they were fine on my clio, pattern and kick up were perfect.
Did you have to remove the headlights to fit btw?
-
well aint been flashed ONCE YET , or got flashed for a year when they were fitted to my type r so there you go . and beam pattern on the mot beam setter is perfect too .
if i wanna see in the dark i will , if you wanna buy me a set of projector headlights then go ahead if its gonna stop you moaning and im not the only person who has them fitted to normal headlights either and wont be the last !
no point in me posting pics as i dont have projectors so will prob dazzle people when they look at the pics .
-
so did u need to remove the headlights to fit like i had to on my 172
-
no done it in situ , bit of an arse as not much room and you need to drill a 25mm hole in rear cover to route wiring etc but worth it !
-
shine them on a wall and take a pic and I'll get a pic of mine to see if they are similar. Not taking the piss, just curious
-
You dont have to remove the headlights but it is abit of a squeeze for your hands.
-
Here's mine against a wall with projector lamps

Spot on, do you really think a standard Clios (lol :D) headlamps are going to be designed for xenons lights.
