cheers guys for them but how come the bulbs themself are only £20 each and those ones are £300?

 

[McBunny]

because they are actually hid lights not just bulbs

and also not legal to be retro fitted

 

[niksmith]

the ones which are illegal say for off road use only which are the same price.

 

[Dink]

yes they are legal to be retro fitted

But they are still Halogen bulbs that imitates the Xenon- effect. 3900Kelvin will still be white/yellow

Xenon bulbs are 5000K and higher......And The Xenon gas needs 23000v to light.

 

[Dink]

H4 lamps are genrally crap because of the design.

i would pick something by orsam or philips(imo osram)

 

[niksmith]

with the osram bulbs which ones would you say are better out of the the cool blue, or super bulbs are better

silver stars

 

[niksmith]

oh rite yeah just saw those the pic put me off as it was some sunset thing. will they fit a 1998 clio 2 mk1

 

[McBunny]

silver stars dont go for anything that brags about been blue bue light doesnt help you see

 

[niksmith]

all i want is the simular effect xeon bulbs give off where thet apear to have a slight tint of blue but are very bright and give off a white light, will the silver stars give me that then?

[McBunny]

yes they will but whats the point as you cant see the blue from in the car :S

the rally bulbs for full beam yes they are illegal but you dont have full beam on when people are driving infront of you so it dont matter

 

[niksmith]

why would i want to see the blue from inside the car???

 

[McBunny]

you wouldnt thats why i cant understand why you want bulbs that have a blue tinge to them :s

 

[niksmith]

i want a simular effect the xeon gives off whch is a slight tint of blue, thats why

 

[Dink]

if they could stop xenon lights giving off a slight blue light they would.

its better to get halogen lights that are as white as possible, as any blue tint is going to reduce the light output.

Philips Power2Night from http://www.powerbulbs.co.ukwww.powerbulbs.co.uk. I put them on my 99 Grande and the improvement from standard was superb.

 

[niksmith]

cheers mate, how do you find out if they will fit or not ¿?¿?

 

[niksmith]

ok i have found a set of Philips Blue Vison ULTRA H4 they are 4000K Colour Temperature <-- what ever that is

what are these like?¿?¿? they are £29.99

 

[Dink]

Ive used to run some Sportzblue 100w bulbs in my original lights on my valver.

Need to get some more for my angel eyes thinking about it......

 

[clio007]

the sportsblue 100w bulbs were great for me, except when one of them blew and i had to pay £12 for one, they give of a similar effect to the xenon light & very very bright

watch out you dont knacker the polycarbonate lamp covers....they dont like all that extra UV those high power lamps chuck out.
