Which HID Kit - yes this old chestnut again!!!!

Hi Guys,

 

I desperately need a good quality HID conversion for my dipped beams. I do a lot of night driving and right now I may as well have some guy sat on my bonnet holding a candle - my stock lights are CRAP!!!

 

I have a '92 TT JDM LWB so which lights would you recommend? What is the difference between the standard and the Bi-Xenon models (two bulbs at a guess?). I don't want a fancy tint so was going to go for a 6000k kit (would that be right?)

 

What does the H3, H7 etc signify?

 

I also want quick start up and reasonably low power consumption - but it is the light quality and beam depth that is the most important to me. I was thinking a 55W Premium Bi-Xenon or Ultimate Bi-Xenon kit (DTA kits). Which would best suit my age of car?

 

Sorry to be such a numpty but night driving is really getting me down at the moment (I keep driving with full beams on just to get some light!!!)

 

Btw Jeff... If your reading this - your going to be fitting this mate so you may as well put your two-penneth in!!!

 

All help very much appreciated!!!

 

Regards - Cyrus :confused:

Cheers Mike - Let me know - what does the H3 mean!!????????

I got mine about 4 months ago from JAM Performance (jpparts) on eBay. I received the same kit that's on the Zcentre site. They're still working, quick delivery, but I can't comment on aftersales service as they've been faultless for me so I haven't needed it!

can you fit HID's to dip and main beam?

 

You can fit them to whatever you want mate, however HIDs on the main beam is probably a bit excessive, and apparently they don't cope well with being switched on and off repeatedly

You should have been sent H3 bulbs ... H1 is for MAIN beam.

To be fair the place said they would change them straight away :)

 

Whats the difference between the bulbs?

forgot to say, i thought the only difference was the fitment type?

H3 - bulb shape for dipped beam.

6000k - slightly blue. OE HID lights are more like 4300-5000K IIRC.

35 watts is standard IIRC... you can get more powerful ones but not really necessary.

 

I have H3, 6000k, 35 watt (I think!)

 

The inside of your headlight glass probably need cleaning!

Bought my kit from DTA for £99 to my door and it is absolutely outstanding!
