only one from when i upgraded to 6000k, will get some more when it gets dark

 

[clio carl]

some more i just took.

 

[JoeyD]

not quite night time but..

considering going out in a bit - so i'll get some snaps of them!

 

[ramsey374]

cheers boys.

cost much to upgrade from 4300k to 6000k? is it just bulbs you change?

Not noticed anyone do this and I think I may do this at some point

 

[clio carl]

d2s 6000k from here, and yes its just the bulbs

[ramsey374]

how long do the 6000k bulbs last and how long do the 4300k bulbs last?

is it a bumper off job. in my old non sport id change bulbs and passanger side was so easy but air con pipes made it soooo hard on drivers side

[clio carl]

they should last 5yrs no matter what the spec, me n da didnt take the bumper off n took us 10 mins max, just unclip the green wire that goes to the starter n then it twists clockwise or anticlockwise iirc, n then its just like changing any other bulb, they have wire thingys that hold the bulb in place iirc. easy peasy, minus tearing ur hands a bit lol.

I've got 6000k, and they're quite blue! I wouldn't want 8000k or anymore tbh.
I think 4300K is OEM, and brighter as it's whiter. But 6000k seems the best compromise.

 

[clio carl]

+1 6000k is road legal maximum as well, 8000k and 10000k are not road legal

 

[JoeyD]

ORLY? Wow, learn something new everyday!

Awaits Christophers pic !

 

[mullen]

loads of pics here for you

 

[AK]

Found his one lol

 

[JoeyD]

WANT.

 

[ramsey374]

I thought if you had proper projectors you could use higher k bulbs. Range rovers and new bmws/ mercs have extremly bright blue xenons as standard

 

[fearless]

^ thats to do with the lens design, not the bulb I believe.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Are the stock Xenon bulbs on the 182 a bit crap then?

 

[ramsey374]

^orite fair enough.do look good tho.

the RB above. what k bulbs?

 

[ramsey374]

stock xenon look quite white. u can spot clio sport xenons from a distance i think they look good but for some people they like to go one better.

 

[JoeyD]

Christophers are 8000K IIRC.
although they dont really look it!

Think it's 8000k mate

Anyone got any link to some 6000k bulbs to replace the ones from my 05 reg RB 182.

Cheers

It's hard trying to get a pic of the light difference unless you have a very good camera. Most point and shoot/phone cameras just balance out the blue until it's white.

I'm pretty sure they are standard. :S

EDIT: Don't think they are actually.

Standard bulbs ftw.

Thanks mate

 

[ramsey374]

Changing side lights in the 182 was hard enough on drivers side. think the bumper and lights will be coming off when i get some new bulbs

8000k are road legal, anything above isn't.

8000k are higher than 4300k

 

[Hutchie]

i know that thats why i was annoyed being told my 4300k's were illegal


but 5000k gives the greatest advantage as we cant see ultra violet

Did you put your thong on back to front this morning sugar?
