Anyone bought HID conversion kits off ebay?
 

They are a LOT cheaper than I've seen elsewhere.

Anyone had any experience with them?

whats a hid then?

Xenon headlight conversion. The real thing not imitation Halogen bulbs.

there not bad kits, you get the Ballast, ignitor and bulb.

You dont get the projector lense, so basically they dont work as they should.

just a warning.

I.e basically HID are meant to be projector light.

Normal halogen is reflected light.

HID bulbs are focussed bulbs, this is done by the projector lense using a prism.

so basically if you put a HID bulb in a standard reflector, the light will just be fooking everywhere and blind everyone.

High Intensity Discharge.

They are Xenon lights that give a very white light.


Also it is illigal to put HID bulbs in to a Headlamp designed for a halogen bulb i might add!! ;)

ahhh all is crystal :cool:

ops!

I've noticed a few guys have fitted these to their Morretts. Do they do a special outer glass for these then?

also the reason the kits are so cheep on ebay - 9 times out of 10 the bulbs are broken when you get them so you have to buy bulbs aswell - know a few people who been done like this :wall:

who knows mate, bascially to use HID's you should use prisms\projcetor lenses.

Thats what they were designed for. ;)

yes i can imagine graceland.

and bulbs arent cheap at £70-£140 each :eek:

This bloke is about £100 more expensive but seems quite honest...

Ive Hid fitted to mine and the cut off point is perfect and they are in a halogen unit. all you have to do is use a casper shield!

ryan no probs mot'ing I know the guy in the garage :cool:

not cheap!

rs cos.

cool.

I went the whole hog route, lenses, projectors, everything.

but wont reveal how sorry before any ask ;)

hid aint cheap! especially when you use proper bulbs and ballasts.

keep your research to yourself ryan.No point you busting your ass and then people expect you to tell them how to do it. Yours will look class with the projectors! Thats the proper way to do it :clap:

they look awesome though. Nice and white :cool:

Its finally nice to have a Ford with PROPER headlights, where you can see further than the bonnet. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

cheers mate ;)

Agreed! I really cant stand the look of standard yellow lights anymore!

I have an H7 Kit that I may put on the old ebay.
Would love to have had them on the rs. Never would have worked.
