Assistance with HID kit

[UKChrisT]

I'm new to all the HID scene, I have a Golf Mk4 2.0 8v and wish to have a 8000k HID kit, can anyone point me into the right direction as in to what I need? I also wish to do the side lights as well as full beam, and are you able to do the fogs?

As I say I'm new to all this so any help would be appreciated.

.......can anyone point me into the right direction as in to what I need?.....

Yes.

You need to drive off a cliff.

Neither me, nor anyone else on the road wishes to be blinded by your over bright, selfish HID light, oncoming, or in the rear view mirror.

You will get no help on this forum with regards to HIDs. Do a search and realise that they are illegal in most cases and in most cases piss off other road users.

Hid kits are illeagl unless you have car headlamps which comply with ECE regulation98 and ECE Regulation 48 which basically means you need compete new headlamps headlamp washers projector HID lights are illegal 90% of the timebecaus ethey have the wromg beam pattern just get xenon blubs like me not illegal but give the same look and dont f**k people off

Wow hid haters! If hids are fitted and properly leveled i dont see the issue. The problem most people dont. When i fitted hids to my current car (not a golf) i got flashed so got the lights properly set now 3 years on never get flashed. I also use 55w hid main beam....looks like stadium lighting when on :-). BUT are rubbish for flashing etc as take a few secs to warm up.

The down side to hids can be very mixed quality. Ive had few ballasts go faulty.

Answer to OP 8000k would look silly imo. Crap visibilty crap distance crap colour. It be very blue. You want 4000k-4500 id say for best output

They're too bright, that's the issue. Even with new vehicles that come with manufacture spec and fitted HIDs, they're too bright and antisocial.
