I think from memory that the sport xenons run at 4300k if that's any good to you.

All those kits are overpriced and the 1st 4 are wrong fitment. You need HB3/9005 bulb type.
The bottom link is the same seller i got mine from, but the link i put higher up the page will only cost you £40. But you must specify what fitment and colour temperature you need.

Do you think I should get the "BIXENON" kit or is it not really worth it? Have you got HID light for both dipped and main beam?

 

[vinvin]

would this be the same kit for my mk2ph2 clio? 04 reg.

 

[TheKing]

To be honest mate I would only have them for dipped as I have on mine got a kit from ebay seller doesn't seem to be on there anymore tho but had no problems what so ever, I went for 6k looks mint.

would this be the same kit for my mk2ph2 clio? 04 reg.

Only if you have projector style headlights otherwise you'll probo dazzel everyone.

 

[vinvin]

oh i see, erm... projector style? i just know i put a bulb in? lol..

I have only dipped beam, theres really no need for te high beam as well tbh

No, the bulb fitment is different in ph2.

ok guys ive decided to get this kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-...62QQcategoryZ36476QQihZ015QQitemZ250251368537
and also buy some H7 bulbs for my main beams, does anyone have any recommendations for them? Osram, Philips X-treme/blue visions.....?
(I've already upgraded my sidelights to LEDS btw)

Cheers!

[Dink]

8000k looks ace matey...thats what i've got in my 197..

lol, projector style headlights have a solid glass projector lense rather than the usual reflector.

your mk2ph2 won't have projectors unless the lights have been changed to angel eyes etc.

unless you swap the healdight cluster for an angel eye set (bearing in mind you'll probs lose the motorised adjustment) the best you can hope for is one of the upgrade bulbs that are just a direct swap - contain xenon gas but don't even come close to the performance of a HID xenon headlight.
