HID's

Forgot to say....got my HID's fitted today. Now Ive got HID dipped & main beam with bright white LED matching sidelights. Boy its bright with them all on!! As in, hurts to look directly at them. I will have to take care I really dont dazzle anyone at night.

Any pics?

James

Can you let me knoe exactly what you got, where from and how easy the job was to do, really want to change mine, night time driving isnt the best

Cheers

Johno. There is a HID fitting guide here
Easy job and makes a massive difference.

I'm working on Demon Tuning becoming a supplier for HID kits in the near future.

I would offer them to forum members for a good price of course.

I'll keep you posted.

James

were did u get them for as looking to get mine replaced

Mine should be in stock in under 14 days.

James

cheers Bockers, will have a look

Got mine from Turborevs. OK service, excellent product. Cost £145 per set so not the cheapest sets around but worth it to me.

so how much are yours jap

Should know more in a few days. Will be less expensive than RiceRocket's though

James

great

Sounds good. I'm interested in getting a set. PM me when you get them in.

Me too please jap, I'm looking to get some soon

Theres a great group buy now for £80 if anyone is still looking.

Yep, bought the HIDs from the £80 goup buy, they're very good quality. LED side lights are a must!

"Welcome to the light side Chris"

Please can someone give me a model number or bulb type that I need for the LED sidelights, there are soooo many on ebay, all I know is it needs to be the 5 LED type?

Thanks

These are the ones I have

More info here

Thank you

Stay away from the five in one as some people have had trouble fitting them in the light surround!

My 5 ones off fleabay fitted just fine!

Good! since I just ordered a set of 2 with a funny one facing out and 4 facing diagonally arangement for about £6

That sounds about right, just be carefull not to let the LED buld drop into the light unit! I did this and had to remove the fixture and use my pinky to get the bulb back out! Looks good with the HIDs!

Where abouts are the ballasts mounted when you fit two, ie on for the dip and the other for main beam!?

Cheers,

Mark

excuse my Dads idiotic commentary - he's not technologically advanced!

Look great Will!

"Wow, WOW!............ Is that it? Again?"

They do look good though but I'm not gonna fake an orgasm over them.

i did warn you about the commentary, it took about 5 attempts for my dad to actually manage to record any footage!
well pleased with them though, especially as i managed to fit them myself without breaking anything!

Your Dad is a legend.

Bring back Grandstand with the legend

Nice! I´m thinking of buying a HID kit now.
By the way, is daddy afraid of the light??

Can anyone let me know a good way of attaching the HIDs without drilling i.e non-permanant?

The sticky pads are good until you move the car!

you shouldnt need to drill anything, have you tried fitting the ballasts to the existing headlight screws?
i popped mine between the bonnet and the lining temporarily before fixing them in

http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=185609&page=1#Post185609

That guide recommends drilling but the new sets on the group buy have a different mounting bracket.

Can't find a way to fit them with the existing headlight bolts it's starting to annoy me everytime I open the bonnet to find one hanging by its wires!

The one on the induction side of the engine bay fits nicely into the side of my bonnet and wedges perfectly, I can't do this the other side though as it hits the washer bottle.



Any ideas?

Ok... The first thing i asked in the forum was about HIDs... I was really curious to see how did they looked on the Coupe... So, I bought a brand that was considered the best in here in Brazil (brand name is K2)... it costed me about 1000 dollars (we have some weird prices here...)... the problem was that after a while the beam became a bit yellow (i was using 8000k, really blue)... so I changed for a cheap chinese kit (BAMBOO KIT!) 8000k also), and surprising, it's working much better than my first kit...
here are some pics...

*on the installation, we drilled on the side of the bonnet, i'll take some pics tomorrow
