the old bulbs




HID conversion



best £100 ive spent in ages

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...B%2B%26fvi%3D1

install was a bit of a pain due to lack of space... few pickys for you




















only one slight problem..as the hids have there own loom...the blown bulb warning lights are now showing on the dash



how do i complete the circuit on the offside headlamp plug connection ??

the nearside one is connected to the hid loom with a relay for full beam...

 

Can you make a liuttle loom using some 5 amp spade connectors and run a fuse between the connections to complete the circuit?

Looks mint btw

 

do you still get the beam pattern on the lights with these bulbs??

 

awesome difference.

 

you shouldn't really use the xenon kits on the full beam as the ballast are not designed to go on and off lots of times frequently. i.e. if you flash someone, also they take a couple of second to get upto brightness. Steve

 

yes..no glare what so ever ..my g/fs dad owns a mot station so the Morette Headlights aim are SPOT ON

after i seen SMITS thread on them..i wanted a set

JTECHSAFF gave the ebay link for them

FLAWLESS for £100 they have changed the car..the glow is SOOO COOL

 

makes loads of difference then seen these kits and wondered if they were any good, might have to purchase some

 

i fitted some off a bmw 2 mine when i had it and never used main beam after that best things you,ll ever buy, am half way throught fitting one on my zx6rr ninja i get them from work so it dont cost much apart from a relay 4 quid wow

 

result

 

Weren't sure if that was a cossie i was looking at till i got to the picture with the oil cap off ready for a top up. lol that's my ford!!!!!!!!

 

what about this kit.

£40 all in.

there is some called HIDS4YOU their english but 95 quid ? them others sound good till you have 2 send fault thing back or wotever, i,d pay 95 noing their round the corner

 

 

but any faulty stuff can be change in days not weeks and you mite have inport tax on them others 2

 

Does that indicate that they don't. Or are you saying that you get the proper shape to the beam pattern?



I've head that these kits tend to just have a "blob" of light which is technically illegal.

 

there is no blob the pictures where took with a nokia 6230 phone

i hate off beam lights .. its my pet hate on cars behind me

dazzle is a pain in the arse



my g/f drove the car up and down the road for me to check

if they where shit i would not have posted up the ebay linky ..only to get ripped about it

will get better pics or a VID up when i can this week

 

With BIXENON Kits, the solenoid at the back of the bulb TILTS the bulb so as to switch between hi and low beams and thus you will get HID in both HI and LO Beams.

the flash works instant but the inner full beam bulbs now flash a yellow light

they look piss poor TBH you just carnt win sometimes can you

 

amazing difference

 

dont they just,need another set for the spot lights now

there are cheaper kits out there,but these seemed well made,from a uk based company so no probs with returns,and lets face it 100 quid for results like these is cheap!

even if the mot guy doesnt like them,no issue the standard wiring is still in place,just swap bulbs for the test

 

will get better pics when i get time

 

when i fitted mine the pattern was crap just a big blob of light

Then a week or so later the n/s stopped working on the way home from work the ebay seller stopped trading when i emailed them so never got my money back


avid-fan would be good to see the pattern on a wall from this kit

 

everyone HID kit i see that doesnt contain a prysm lense seem to give completely spread (i.e unfocussed) light.

 

Will be getting one of these kits , now i have lost the extra full beam light on my morettes the lights are real shit for night driving.

 

Steve - Glad ya liked them buddy

As steve's reply above has pointed out above you are incorrect. The Bi-xenon kits have a motor built into the rear of the blub. So when you 'flash' someone the motor moves the angle of the blub creating high beam. So the xenon's are always 100% working.

Plus on a saff you have a seperate high beam blub within the headlight.

 

Ive got some on my Audi, 42 quid delivered from Hong Kong

Am also getting a 2nd kit to use on the fogs, as they are the same H1 bulb as the headlights, and finally some LED sidelights to match.
When its done it will look like this



Mine currently looks like this, shows the difference between the old piss yellow and new hids well

 

can you explain this a little more please???

 

Martyn - Now that's an idea....

I don't think an type of blub would fit in a saff fog light and the blub is quite small.. The smallest blub in HID form i think is H1 and they are still quite long and i's doubt they'd fit!

 

so are they for the H4 bulbs then?

look pretty cool, might get some for the 3dr lol

 

Look pretty good - have been thinking about getting some for mine for ages (since Smit got his!!)

 

Do it Kev!

I remember years ago your old chap saying that the sierra's headlights were crap! Didn't he buy new headlights/bulbs etc etc and they weren't much better..

You'll be totally amazed how much difference they make! like Steve has said it's totally different all from £100

 

HID work well by using a prysm (focussed beam)

standard headlights work off reflection, i,e bulb light is bounced back onto the the reflector unit and then out threw the glass (with pattern)

HID do not use relfection hence all HID cars from OE have clear glass/plastic fronts as they do not need a beam pattern as they are focussed light through the glass projector.

putting HID bulbs in standard headlights means some light is relected and none is focussed hence the blob light after.

 

I have got a 6000K 55W kit from Hids4u.

The quality of the kit is absolutely excellent. It literally is plug and play and no annoying bulb out warning lights either. The spread of light is excellent and so much better than standard.

They cost the most but you are getting the best

I've got their LED sidelight bulbs as well and they are excellent. The same 6000K colour temperature as the HIDs so they don't look yellow like standard sidelights.

Excellent company to deal with too which makes a nice change

Get some, you won't be disappointed.

 

i had a 6000k kit in my vec gsi, best thing i ever spent money on.. hardly ever used full beam cos dippped beam was 100 times better than standard bulbs

dont think i took any night pics... doh

 

You can get the error cancel kits to stop the dash showing a faulty / blown bulb, this happens because they run at a lower voltage/wattage once they have fired up and thats what causes the car to think you have a blown bulb. The cancel kit is a resistor that sits inline with you existing HID kit but tricks the car into thinking they are running at the correct voltage/wattage and this does away with any nasty flahing lights warning sounds.

As for high beam, I use the H4 telescopic/flexible kits, consists of a single HID bulb that uses an electro magnet to aim the bulb higher when flashing or using high beam, this is the same kit as you have bought. There are a few different types of H4 kits, hi hid low halogen, low halogen high hid, or even some with two hid bulbs one for high one for low. The hi/lo hid uses 4 ballasts and like someone said above are a little tempremental due to flashing them on and off, the way the ballasts work theyre not really designed to do quick flashes on and off.

Im no expert but I have read a little into these, as I'm in the process of building a website to start selling these kits. I'll also have the error kits too .

 

are these kits not illegal though

 

No mine just went through an MOT no problem, I also got pulled the other day for my number plates and the police never said a thing about them.

 

good stuff
