Poor mans Xenons (HID's)

RB 182
No be dull as f**k but probably purple.
The higher the rating the more blue, but after 4300k you get less useable light 6K is meant to be pure white after that it just gets more and more blue.
They probably wont work properly in standard headlights anyway, you would be much better getting proper xenons.

If xenons were on your wishlist you should have bought a FF 182.
Anything beyond 6K wont be brighter than your standard halogens with decent bulbs in. In fact i don't think my xenons are any brighter than halogen, just whiter.
You'll piss off everyone coming the other way when you've got your dodgy HID's fitted too.

4.3k or 6k with a hint of blue (like you'll see on modern mercs)
8k is more blue
10k is blue
12k is slightly purple.
I would go with 6k
8k is more blue
10k is blue
12k is slightly purple.
I would go with 6k

Here's my car with 6k's in.
They are white with a blue tint in but not over the top I find, 5k would probably be closer to pure white.

I have 6k in the DCI and they are more than bright enough. Had 8k in an old vectra and they were too blue

Mate just buy some osram nightbreaker bulbs. I've got Xenon's in now and the quality of light is no where near as good or as bright.

HIDs are way too bright for reflector lamps. Expect fines/producers and frequent comparison of yourself to chavs.

Ah, didn't realise you had to be poor to be chav, you would know.

Mine will be for sale in the next week or so

Just generalising really.
Most chavs wont have a pot to p*ss in. Which is why they all drive saxo's or corsa's.
I may have a look at those when I get paid then
any pics?

I'm not an aftermarket HID hater however I upgraded the bulbs in the daily hack Clio and got some great results. I think they were Halfrauds own brand ones and they doubled the brightness compared to the oem bulbs.
It's defo worth saving up for the xenon headlights though rather than the HID kit.

A Clio isn't massively expensive y'know.. I'm 18 and could afford a Clio sport, but I chose not to because I don't want to pay more than the cars worth in insurance.. It's sensible to wait.. Not chavy.

But I assume your not a chav, my friend.
My quote for insurance was 6k. Dont think a chav can fork that out solely for insurance. Anyway, this is going way off topic so yeah
RB 182
+1 TBH.
Chav's aren't sensible. They buy a fast car, pay thousands to insure it & modify it badly with cheap coilovers and HID headlights then usually crash it because they can't drive properly.
TBQFH i think 182's are well on their way to becoming the next saxo vts.
Edit. Not saying your a chav. Infact far from it - paying £6k for insurance would make you a moron

Im not a 'right idiot'. Im just asking for opinions and now ive heard so many bad things about HID's im going to go for xenons.
To be honest, I cant afford xenons. So im going to have to buy a HID kit in order to get some brigther headlights.
Which is the best colour temperature to get? 10K?
Just want an opinion on the best temperature please
no offence but if you wanted zenons why didnt you just buy a non cup?
