I read on here last week that it was a H7 bulb, but hopefully someone will be along soon to confirm this.

Thanks dude, thats what Thought too...but just wanted to confirm with the other piston heads before I buy the wrong kit LOL...

Also i was gona go for the 6000k brightness but this seems so to be the standard has anyone had the 8000k or 1000k fitted...or do they look a bit tacky?

Cheers!!

I've got 6000k ones in mine. I like the pure white look with the led bulbs in the sidelights as well.

The bluer ones aren't as bright in real terms and I fitted mine primarily for the night driving improvement.

I fitted 6000K to my Griff and found them to be a little too blue. Road signs reflected blue and they just didn't look right on the car. Went for 4300K in the dipped beam on my Tuscan and much prefer the colour, which is pure white once warmed up.

Depends what you're after, but the 4300K gives off more lumins compared to 6000K.

decided where to get them from?

Took this link from another thread on PH, good price for digital ballasts, which are meant to interfere less with electronics...

This is the thread...

I ordered my H7 6000k kit for my Cerbera with Tuscan style lights of e-bay they cost a £1 and £30 delivery from China.
They are exactly the same as the kits being sold by some of the online companies at £80+.
Easy to install and are massive improvement on the standard set up.
