Guys with hids, was wondering what kits do you recommend? After swearing to myself that I wouldnt go down this road, and slagging off hella twins/quads, Ive just bought myself a set and want to hid them :laugh:
-
:grin: :grin:
this could turn nasty
get a 6k kit :wink:
-
+1 for 6k - that's the safest bet, MOT and police friendly :laugh:
-
Same, 6K look good and don't have that horrible "bluey" look that screams AFTER-MAKRET HID.
-
Cheers chappies. 6000k it is then. Recommend any sellers?

I got it done by these guys > http://www.hidconversions.co.uk/

I can get hold of a full conversion kit at 8000k for £50.00 delivered, Also Bi-Zenon for full conversion with high and low beam in H4 fit for £80 delivered, They come in a brief case style box for if/when you ever need or want to remove them too lol.
Can get H7 kit too but its bit more expensive, not even sure what type of bulb my head lamps are as i had non GTI ones before, I can get these super cheap to me through my supplier so i might consider a conversion soon, just cant make my mind up at the moment.

6000k's are spot on i think :smiley: anything brighter is just un-needed, mine cost £60 from www.Lightec-Autostyle.co.uk and ive had no problem with them at all!

Yes yes we know! (http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/ashproctor/emoticons/head-against-wall.gif) Now back on topic.
4.3K or 6K.
I have had problems with cheap kits from eBay but others seam to be good. All depends on the seller. I would try and go for the sellers from the UK rather than the Chinese sellers that take 4 weeks to get your item.

I was told the K rating wasnt any brighter? it was just the colour "temperature"
Seing as all new cars are factory fitted with them to blind us i think we have every right to ave em!

Yeah K = Temp but it can also dictate how bright it is. I.E the 4.3k is slightly yellow and produces a slightly less amount of light than the 6k whiter light.

You may find a slight blue tinge to a 6K set, they do vary but for the most part they are white. Makes a massive improvement. :afro:

I would be well up for a set on my quads as well! Possible group buy?

for ref, my mk 4 which has Xenon as standards, are 4k or 4.3k to be exact, this is what most manufacturers run OEM
