xenons on the sport

[swell]

can you get brighter bulbs?? i dont know whats in the H/L at the mo but they dont seem as bright as the ST's and TT's, is there a limit to the brightness you can have?

 

[nth]

dont think so... st's dont have xenons
usually the hid kids that vary

 

[scott1205]

the focus does

 

[nth]

not the fiesta, which i was reffering to, but neway,i believe the answer is no.

 

[swell]

so the brightest you can get is whts on the car now

I don't believe that is the case. There was a discussion on here before if you search for it.

You can definately get brighter one's, my mates 182 is definately brighter and a bit more white than my 172's xenons.

Full beam or dipped?

unless you get a hid conversion kit, the limit is 8k iirc
not worth the hastle imo, shouldnt really play with oem xenons

i dont know if changing the bulbs would make any difference

hav you tried moving the headlights up

my mate took them 2 a garage to be alined and he said it made loads of difference but i dnt know if this will help ya

 

[scott1205]

i think the 8k isnt as bright as the 6k

i had 6k and my mate had 8k and mine where much brighter

the higher the more blue it is... 5/6k is moreorless white

 

[scott1205]

thats wot im saying i think the whiter is the better blue

 

[Craig]

you can get change them for different ratings. there ds2 bulbs. id get 6000k imo

 

[Keano]

u can buy differnt temperature bulbs.

4000k would be brighter than 8000k for example.

lower the number = brighter/ whiter light

higher= purpler

 

[Keano]

ffs!! ^^^^

thats what happens when u dont read others comments

 

[Firas]

8k will make them look blue but will have a poor penetration ie they wont light up the road as well. 4300k is whats on the sport xenons which provides the best penatration but can look a bit yellowish. i am soon going to upgrade to 6000k which is whats on most audi's, bmw's, mercs and focus st.

 

[swell]

sorted, the focus looks alot brighter then the clio, only reason i asked is b4 x.mas i had a xenon flickering so dont know if its on its way out, if it is il get a better brighter set...

thank you
