HID's now fitted

[Tattooboy]

I know there are a few on here that do not like these kit's btu I fitted a set to my Monaro VXR this weekend ans what a massive difference they make. Easy to fit and have no problems what so ever with warning lights or dash problems and looks like no problems with beam scatter. Looks very good in the dark

[007 VXR]

have you got details for the kit you fitted ?

[Tattooboy]

Hi 007, this is the kit I fitted, it has the new digital ballast in metal, not cheap plastic that some kits stick in, very easy to fit and as prev, have no probs what so ever.

I first changed my bulbs for 6500K super whites but these HID's I fitted are in a different class.

HID's are around 3200 Lumens, about 3 times brighter than normal bulbs, The kelevin rate is as you say, how hot they burn, the lower the K rating the yellowish the light, the higher the Blueish, between 4000 and 6000 is about pure white.

Please excuse my noobness but do you mean you just replaced the standard bulbs with the ones above, or are you talking about replacing the lights.

I want to get a bit more light, but can't be arsed to try fitting HID's myself.

Cheers.

Tempy, fitting HID's is dead simple, if you can change the bulbs, you can fit HID's, took me about 1hour 30 mins in all.

Ok thanks mate PS are you in north or southern Ireland?

[Tempy]

Cheers Drew, would be interested to see pics too.

Thanks Tattooboy, might go down the HID route some day, lots of little things/annoyances I need to do to the car and this is one of the things along with repairing a couple of the window tints, getting the stone chips done etc. If I can do it inexpensively by just doing the bulbs I will be happy.

Aren't HID's illegal on cars that weren't originally fitted with them?
