Dam you all to hell

I already have a HID conversion, but I can't resist a bargain......


..... so I just went on Ebay and bought a set of these HIDs

Karlos475 I blame you. Next time we meet up you can fit them on my main beam (that's not a sexual connotation by the way )

Seriously though.... £35!!! Bargain!

Just bought a set, hopefully they won't take too long to turn up.

so the fog lights are h1 aswell?

yes coupedummy h1's for the fog lights

I beg your pardon, you want me to do what on your main beam???

I reckon you just felt left out and the bargain was wispering your name!!!

I'll fit'em for sure. It'l give me practise for fitting mine to my main beams just need to figure out where to stow the ballasts??

.... i have a cunning plan.....

mine turned up today so i'll let you know how i got on installing them as they came with no fitting instructions and just a crap user manual , this should be fun

a quick question for you karlos , do your hid's use the original wiring or run straight from the battery as mine look like they do ??

Ordered 2 sets - £69.70 Bargain!!

Would like to hear feedback from people who purchased these and have them fitted!

Nismo,

Mine simply hooked into the existing wiring for the light with zero hassle - mounting the ballast was the only job needing to be thunk about

As far as running straight from the batt??
Mine sure didn't.

For instructions the "How To Guide" off of here for the installation is pretty much bang on for the step by step guide!!

I've fitted them and waiting on my second set for the main beams. They are excellent and very good value.
Night time driving just got good.

mine run straight from the battery using a switch from the main beam stalk to turn on and off , sounds abit more fidderly than the set you have karlos but shouln't burn the light adjusters out as not using the fiat wiring , have installed them now and all is working ok ( thanks for the info karlos ) , just waiting for the night to roll in to see the difference from standard , will let you know what i think and get some pic's up

think there is a how to somewhere on here.

How to Guide that worked for me

ha ha, there it is!

For anyone with standard lights thinking about buying these, don't think twice - do it. Changing to HIDs from the standard lights is one of the best mod's you can do to a coupe. We were buying these kits for almost £200 2 or 3 years ago, so at £35 it really is a no brainer.

well , i headed to southend last night after installing my hid's and i have to say what a vast improvement on the standard lights , they gave me double if not triple more light than the standard lights so if you are thinking about getting a set i would say "do it" its a worth the time and effort and at this price you can go wrong

do other drivers think uv got high beam on? am still waiting for mine.

i didn't get flash at all last night by people thinking i had high beam on , but everyone i came up behind moved out of my way instead of blocking the outside lane got there in no time at all

what bulbs have you gone for johna , i have 8000 so they are white/blue , have you gone for the 6000 white ?

6000, didnt know they did 8000.. bloody nora! anyway, they have come today. only one problem, my bonnet wont open! lol. cable snapped the other day, hopefully the new cable will have come today.

FIAT = Fix It Another Time

anyone got any pics with the fog lights as hids?

i would be thinking of 6000k main beam,led sidelights and 8000k as spot light.wouldnt bother with full beam as you will never need to use them again with hids on main beam

would look nice, would it b h1 for the sidelights?

Having fitted the 6000k to the dips they are very good however i am awaiting delivery of my 2nd set for the full beam because as has been stated already, the "cut off" of light on the dips is very defined and dramatic.
Putting on the full beam with normal halogens is a bit sickening as they are as yellow as pi$$ by comparison.

HID all round for me soon i hope - i'l be fitting them to the foggies there after.

As for the side lights i've got LED's in, and they do look goood especially with the HIDs.
Be sure and get the quad LED type tho - vast difference to the single LED - learnt these things the hard way so you don't have to.

mines arrived today, just ordered on the 24th last month result or what. i may order another set

Damn! i hate it when things like this come up. its just too good a deal not to buy!! so much for saving money this month! went for 6k for main beam and will see how they look and may go for the 8k for the full beams at a later date.

This has got me thinking. What type would be most effective for the foglights, the 6k or the 8k?

Does either 'type' of light penetrate thick fog any better?
