Uprated bulbs for Hella Quin (Quad/Twin) Lights

[funkyfive]

Oh my god lads, was not expecting the topic to turn into a slanging match lol  

I have decided to go with HID for the outer lens, the same as GTiAdams and put better bulbs in the inner lens (Not sure which bulbs to get?) as suggested by VR6-Joe due to not having any fogs and really cannot be ars*d installing and wiring them.

So one question to go is which type of bulb to go for in the HIDs? The only worry I have is that i do not what to damage the lens. GTiAdam was kind enough to assist me with a picture of the different beams.

Dw its only play fighting, no doubt shady will be round mine to argue while he cleans his car and I watch.   

Go with the bulbs VR6-Joe said. You cant go wrong then.

Adam, I will argue my point and I await the email from Hella telling me what the exact name of the lights are, I can't wait to rub the email in your face


To funkyfive, HIDs are the way forward

Also for other forum users, why choose HID over a decent set of bulbs like the above?

Just to confirm, I received an email from Hella and this is what they sent:


"These lamps do not have a name as such.  People often refer to them
generically as twin or quad conversion headlamp sets.   Basically they are
the lamps that upgrade the standard H4 single light unit to main and dip
light units within a plastic frame.  Therefore 2 lights either side (twin)
or 4 lights on the vehicle (quad).   Also available is the upgrade known as
a III in a IV look and a few other variants in chrome.  See pictures
attached.   It's only our auxillary lamps that tend to have specific names."


So technically they aren't twins or quads, but I think from now on we should call them Quins
