HID Kit

[Mtv_Clio]

I have a Renault Clio MTV and I have a set of black angel eye headlights, I havnt done anything to the car in a while so I thought I'd put ridicoulsly bright blue bulbs in my headlights but I have no idea what to do! Can I just buy bulbs and fit them like standard ones? Or do I need some sort of conversion kit? I literally have no idea what an HId kit is, what it looks like or if I need one? Someone help please!

Are they projector lens lights?

Good, shouldn't be a problem to fit HIDs then. Go on eBay and get a kit for your bulb fitment. The bulbs will swap straight over, there's an electrical box (called a Ballast) to bolt down each side (mine are cable tied down) and then simply plug the power connector from the car into the one on the kit. Hey presto, HIDs.

(it's normal for the ballasts to make a buzzing noise)

That's brilliant mate thanks! You wouldn't post a wee link here for me to make sure I definitely buy the right thing?

What bulbs do you use? I.e. H4, H7, HB3 e.t.c.

I really don't know mucker, does it matter? Or just whatever you think is best?

 

[McGherkin]

It's essential to know what it is. It'll be one of the ones below.
