Clio Xenon Lights?

[Rob.H]

A friend is looking for some aftermarket HID/Xenon lights for his CTR and wants to get as close to the brightness of the Cliosport headlights, does anyone know what watt bulbs are used, or what would be the closest match in aftermarket terms?

Cant remember, its also pissing down outside lol. One thing to remember is they are behind a projuctor beam, so that also adds to the purple colour effect etc

Thats what i thought added to the colour!!

i think standard ones are 5k in my civic i had 6k which a have more of a blue/purble tint

Yeah, the lamps will produce a very clear light, the projector adds the rainbow effect. HID kits can come in various watts... the higher, the more 'purple' they go, but the higher the wattage doesn't mean the best light ouput iirc.... Sure someone could shed some 'light' on the matter

I'll get my coat :clown:

oh i know it looks better with projectors. and like you say the higher k you go the less usable light there will be. i would go any higher than 6k imo
