Hi all,

I'm thinking to change my halogen lights to HID, still hesitating to get it or not .

Cannot find any information on how to change existing halogen to HID on the net, so the question is ,is it a tedious DIY job to change halogen to HID?

what sort of HID kit i should get to fit the CU2 with minimal modification?

will it cause electrical problem to the car?and possibly void the warranty?

Hopefully someone can shed some light

cheers

should be easy as long as you get the right HID kit, apart from that you could always refer to instruction booklets or youtube

if u dont know what you're doing i suggest go to autoelectric shop as it may cause serious injury from the electrical parts.

in my opinion, yes. but there are alternatives, ie PIAA Star White and Osram Nighbreaker Plus.

also other halogen with >5000k colour will emit less luminence onto the road due to heavier blue colour tint on the glass.

so, it depends on what you want. 'the look' or 'to look' :p

yes H1 is the size of the H.I.D bulb which you need to get which will replace your old halogen's.
