    Words from the wise - Do other road users a favour, don't get a cheap HID kit. The beam pattern will be all wrong with the halogen projectors in a standard CU2. Not to mention not legal (apart from the beam pattern/glare, HIDs are required to have headlight washers).

    Have you looked into Philips Xtreme/Crystal Vision globes?

    i was thinking of putting phillips diamond visions coz its the closest to white that i can get. yes, my cu2 doesnt come with HID coz its the model below the luxury, so if it doesnt have it then.. is it illegal to have it without the headlight washers? so what do i do now no HID kit?

    bzzzzzzt

    diamond vision globes are fails, they have too much blue tint on the globe, so you get a blue light with barely any light penetration (ie lumins)

    crystal vision globes are far much better

    Id bet that those are illegal too. And quite expensive for a no brand item. Word of wise, never get anything from Mars performance...overpriced and shocking customer service (just check their feedback!). I don't really think theres any legal bulb that will give you white or blue that is halogen. I could be wrong though.

    im with rudy on this one

    theres a reason why phillips come oem with a lot of cars these days

    their products are so much superior than others

    when it comes to stuff such as lights, stick to known name brands, dont go el cheapo

    True, funny thing is the genuine phillips one I imported from Amazon is cheaper than these no name ones.

    Mars has shocking customer service. I bought a set of lights off them before. Sent me the wrong ones. When I told them they just went silent and never responded. Threatened negative feedback so 1 day before the 'feedback period' ended they told me they would send out a new set that would fit my car and send me the shipping details. Gave them alright feedback. Too bad nothing ACTUALLY came. Felt pretty pissed (this was a few years ago). Ended up in a dispute. Pretty messy. If you get the right thing first go then sweet. Have any issues and they're a pain in the butt.
