Back with new T 350 questions 3
Discussion
Anybody fitted Gas discharge headlights on his T 350???
There are several kits on the market, the ones from this company www.hids4u.co.uk
seem to have the best reputation???
What kit have people chosen and is it difficult to fit??? I am also confused as in the owners manual it says you have a low and high beam head light with sidelights and fog lights- I think my car 53 T 350 T has a main light (low beam- looks like so called angel eyes), and a high beam with sidelight (the upeer outside pods) but NO fog lights- is this the normal configuration or has somebody already fettled with it? Have other T 350s fog lights???
Your help is as always appreciated

cramorra,
I fitted HID’s my self the other week, its easy if you would feel capable to change a bulb then fitting HID’s isn’t that much more work. Took me 3 hrs, could do it in half that now.
1 - Wheel off
2 - Remove access panel
3 – Swap bulb for HID bulb (don’t touch glass)
4 – Mount HID Ballast box (just below head light access panel there is a round access panel I put it just in there with a bolt through the wheel liner.
5 – Hook wires up (12v feed to ballast, from original head light feed. High voltage from ballast to bulb)
6 – Re-fit access panel
7 – Up-rate head light fuse for a 20a (HID’s draw less power when running but have a quite a big start up draw.
I fitted them to my last car (Lotus Elise) and it was a much harder job than fitting them to the T350t.
HID kits can be bought from e-bay for under £100, the bulb type is H7 and the best bulb temp is 6000k.
HID’s are so much better than the standard bulbs, plus you get that cool white/blue light.
Oh and the deal with the legality of HID’s, I have had no problem getting my previous car MOTed and never got stopped by the plod in 18 over months of driving with them.
Sorry for the long post.
If you want some help/advice drop me an e-mail

when i get my t350 (as i will do sometime this year! lol) ill be fitting some. I fit some to my golf Anni last year and think they are excellent and would really recommend them! I went for the 6000k's as they had that slight bluey look. You wont see any further with them but the light is SO much brighter if you know what I mean. The 4000k's are the brightest but not very blue, they are more white in colour. They are very easy to fit too! I got mine from xenon light source for £120.
