Had a search on here but the one post that looked like would put me in the right direction had been destroyed :( haha
So what I would like to know is which h.i.d kit to go for? There are so many on ebay so I wondered what folk were running? :)
I have projector headlights but just ordinary bulbs and I'm looking to upgrade to something a bit brighter byt not to burn oncoming eyes :)
Any point in the right direction would be much appreciated :)
Cheers, Hoggy.

My advice, don't bother.
Get better bulbs like some Osram Night Breakers.

^^^ Agreed, don't bother :smiley:
-
I did wonder about upgrading bulbs..are these nightbreakers all they're cracked up to be?
-
Yes, they are good. It made a huge difference, even on my mk3 candle lights....
-
Take no notice of those before me. HIDs in projector lights will be a massive improvement, even over nightbreakers if you go for an OEM bulb temperature of 4300k.
Avoid really cheap ebay kits and don't be fooled into 55W instead of 35W. I've had a couple of sets from Nove Blue and they have been spot on.

H.I.D is for wayne kerrs period!!

As long as they are in projectors (which the OP says they will be), I really don't see the problem :huh:
-
As said in projectors are good as it directs the light a lot more and does not blind others. I have 8k and wish I had gone 6 as I'm over having the blue tint. Only advice I can say is buy from a place that offers a warranty. One of my ballasts failed within 10 months and the replaced it no quibble and paid £40 for them.

So you wouldn't buy a car with factory xenons then?
-
I was thinking 6k's and as I said they're in projectors so I don't want to blind anyone anyway :) I just wondered which was a good kit to go for :)
Cheers for the info guys :)

Why not just get R32 xenons? :huh:
Oh and the higher the rating, the crapper the light output. Stick to OEM levels of 4300k :nerd:

I might be the only person to say it about the r32 xenons but I just don't like them..at all. :undecided:
So I would get a better light out of 4300k as apposed to 6000k? :)

Can't say I have yet but nothing worse than being blinded by some twit each to there own mate! I don't like them and nightbreakers work fine for me...

I initially bought 6000k and it was too blue for me, swapped to 4300k and it's perfect :wink:

I'm also not keen, the projectors look too small. I'm also after 4300 they meant to be the 'whitest' of the lights as my 8k look too chavvy for my liking.
-
4300k for me too
-
4300k for me too
Don't suppose you know of a set/make to go for wazzer? :)
-
I would go for the in between light out put of 5000k :tongue:

I also found a set of 5000k, didn't realise they done them :)
Will be looking to buy a set once my splitter is fitted, my seats are retrimmed and my remap is sorted :cool:
