HID Kits.

[Coby.]

I'm looking to change the 182 and cars I'm looking at only have Dual Optics headlights and I love my Xenons so would be looking to get an HID kit straight away.

What kits do you recommend and where from?

What is the common K rating?
6000k??

Just buy the kits from eBay, 20-30 quid a pop.

I wouldn't personally go above 6k, because as you can see it just looks chavvy. 5-5.5k is about right IMO.

See my thread about fitting HIDs as well though. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...lf-Levelling-Projectors-and-the-law-Explained

Cheers for the pic... Think I might go with 30000k as I think it looks sick

So any kit really?

Wasn't sure if it was best to spend a bit of money on these kits.

 

[McGherkin]

The kits usually last at least 6 months, when one side goes just get a new kit. No real point in forking out extra money because they last the same amount of time whether you pay £20 or £50.

Don't be fooled by the whole 35w/55w thing, because there's sod all difference.

Just remember they will fail a mot unless you remove them first

I'm not too concerned by MOT's anyway

I think hids in projector headlights are a must, i went for 5000k and it looks perfect, think my kit was 30 quid off ebay

Looking at this for my new 207.... Will this do the job?

Happy Days.... It's been just over 24 hours of ownership and already I'm buying bits for it

Mine did not fail my mot, and that was three weeks ago. I have the 6k kit and it's deffinately the best.

My mate has 8k and it's horrible, all I get is a white/purple glare in my rear view mirror lol

Although it did fail on the offside suspension top mount. Oops....

 

[Coby.]

Ordered a kit last night so should arrive early next week ready for my days off hopefully so I can have a go at fitting them

 

[Coby.]

So my kit has arrived but I'm clueless at how to go about fitting them.... I know they are not for a Clio but anyone able to help as guessing its similar for each car?

This is what I have for each side.

Been ages since I had any fitted. Its almost how it is. But the two spade ends go inside the plug. That would normally push onto the tabs for the bulb.. that make sense! ?

I had this kit before of 6K light, really bright white. I did it for a astra SXI but i need a cover for it cos it would be blinding another drivers! So If buy this kit, would I need a blinder or something?

What about side light of H7, what bulb for them?

 

[Coby.]

I personally wouldn't fit them unless the car has projector/dual optic headlights fitted.

What Mk/Ph do you own?

 

[matt006]

I got a clio 2002 now, so would be okay for HID, just replace the bulb? H7 isn't it? What number is the small bulb one?

 

[Coby.]

Bulbs are in and working.... Just need to tidy up the cables tomorrow then we're good to go
