HID Lights

**doosra** · 23-08-2008 01:20 PM

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for HID lights for my euro, however am not sure whether i should buy them on ebay or go into a shop to get them. I'm thinking of getting a white/blue colour..

Any thoughts on this.. ?

These are only $74, however proconcept at west ryde said they'll be around $250 from them.

There's also this other one which will cost $140

If these ones aren't suitable, could you guys recommend me a set.. are there any on ebay which are cheap and worth getting.. ?

Also, are they easy to install.. ?

if i were you,.. i would buy the kit from Ebay and install by myself...

check the ballsts they use... normally you get what you paid...

Personally i would avoid the 74 one...

Perhaps something around 150 to 200 would be ideal.

i've got these, cost me about $150 shipped.
Installed it my self. Work fine, had them for almost a year now.

in regards to the colour, these are of pale blue colour. 8000k has less light output, but is quite blue.

i bought mine from ebay and installed it myself.....paid lik $200 for them i think....its been a while. probably had then on the car for more than 2 years now and no problems. i got a plug and play kit so it was just a matter of taking out the old bulb and putting in the new one and connecting the wires up....didnt have to cut any of my wires

do you guys have the standard euro's, how's the light distribution on them? Not blinding people?

**xiang** · 24-08-2008 04:08 AM

yeah ive got the standard model, mine were blinding people, but it's easy to adjust.

true =) might head down that path sometime then

hey guys,

should i be after Bi Xenon or just Xenon

http://cgi.ebay.com/BI-XENON-HID-CON...QQcmdZViewItem

or

http://cgi.ebay.com/HID-XENON-CONVER...QQcmdZViewItem

I'm assuming that the HID is just for normal driving at night (lo beam) and 1st one includes Xenon lights for both Lo and High beam ?

There's also differnt types like H3, H4, H7 - too many choices.. i just need to know which one to get .. please help.

**phen_ys** · 24-08-2008 08:45 PM

..Yes, too many choices..i was wondering which xenon light is the best for visibility. 8000k seems to be good but 6000k also seems good..ahh..confuse

dont mean to hi-jack, but the other day, i noticed that my normal lights, the wiring for that is only single prong, yet the hid kit i got is twin prong.
it seems that it will only suit hi light, cuz thats two prong...

how did you guys get around this problem?

Depends which kit you got. Did you get hi/lo kit?
