Xenon Kits???
« on: 22 March 2010, 23:12 »
Hi Guys,

I have just bought a 56 plate GT Tdi and I have been searching for Xenons kits? I read on another thread that a VW upgrade is around £1000........ :(

I put aftermarket kits on my old BMW 328i Sport Coupe and my 530i Sport and never had a problems.

Whats the feedback on here as the 6K H7 kits I have seen are around £70???

They look sh*t and blind other people. If you're going to go for something go for the real OEM xenons at around £350 on the bay.

How do they blind other drivers if the beam direction is setup correctly?

Has anybody fitted kits like this on here before? Pics?

I don't think you can adjust the beam pattern because the light is a xenon fitted into a halogen housing.

Ah right,

when I had the 6K H7's fitted on my previous BMW's nobody ever flashed me and everyone always said how awesum they looked. Much better visibility too.

If your going to do it make sure you get projector lenses. Putting 6k HIDs in a housing designed for standard bulbs is a big no no as the light pattern just wont work as its not designed to have that sort of light coming out of it.

As long as you have these, I dont really have a problem with them. Might even get it done myself and get some 6k ones thrown in. Id beg anyone to spot the difference.

Great, thanks for the info Al,

How much are these projector lenses and where is the best place to buy from?

Yeah, that MK5 Golf has had the 14k ones and looks like a chavtastic bag of sh!t lol

Note you will need a special adaptor for the MK5 Golfs to hold the bulbs in place which cost an extra £15.
