Bought a HID H4 conversion kit from Ebay on recommendation from Rob@SCC (he has a H7 on his Golf Mk4)......

Fitted it yesterday and fook me what an easy job.....lol

Before.... (althought on sidelights and not main)



After....




Balast pack....



Wiring out of rear of lamp....





There's NO additional wiring need, the whole lot just plugs into the std 3 pin plug...

I must admit my headlights on my cossie are crap in the dark. So are they legal then and will they pass on a mot.

 

Is that number plate a legal font size etc, as after one like that for my cos, got one today, and going to cut down to smallest legal size, so losing a good 6-8" anyway.

m8 fitted some to his subaru amazing difference,were they really easy to fit ?

 

tabetha,

no it's smaller.

KSA,

Take the plastic rear off the headlamp and drill/chew a 21mm ish hole in it, thread wiring thru hole.
Remove std bulb and insert HID bulb.
Plug 3 pin connector from HID kit to std Ford 3 pin connector.
Put plastic rear part of headlamp back on.
Drill small hole on inner wing and attach balast pack.
Repeat on other side...

Job done


In all honesty you could do both sides in well under 10 minutes, mine took longer as I took the lamps out so I could remove the wipers and motors for the headlamps as I hate them with a passion!!!

 

do the lights on your lamp failure indicator indicate red with these fitted ?

 

Dunno...

Mine isn't there as I have converted that whole area for my pop out TV headunit

 

im gonna get some of these im a little worried though as i have smaller headlights to yours, worried about heat issues fookin my headlights up.

 

had a set in mine a while ago and they were awesome

just a shame they would never pass an mot and after a few weeks they

stopped working on the way home from work

but saying that i have been looking for another set

 

I have had a set on my 3dr and they went wrong 3 times in as many weeks so now they are in the bin as I like to be able to drive home at night!

 

My car sees the dark less than 10 times a year so that hopefully won't be a problem......

MOT time if I "have" to its a 2 minute job to pop the std H4's back in

 

They DO illuminate the warning symbol, as they did when I relayed mine with 130/90's.

When i had my 130/90's they didn't...... but I didn't run a seperate relay

 

Had a shot of my mate jeep ,which has a kit fitted ,yes a far better light

kev dont believe lush fitted them his self lol

cheeRS stu

 

He's a handy wee fooker .

 

Just fitted h3 and h4 bi-xenon to my xr4x4, much better light. Cats eyes really glow.
Bulb failure light on but the h4 has separate live feed so expected and no dim-dip.

 

Welcome to the revolution

 

If you don't want to go HID, then I found that PHILIPS EXTREME H4 60/55 were twice as bright as the 130/90's I had in, despite drawing a lot less current, and look VERY similar to HID on dip, with masses of light.
On my other car(astra mk3) I also rewired slightly so that dip stays on even on main beam, makes a massive difference for a bit of wire.
