is there anyway i can just get brighter bulbs?, or do i have to get a HID conversion?, i live in the sticks and nearly about killed myself with the standard lights, my phone torch nearly gives better brightness?

Its HIDs if you want to ditch the candle light matey.

Are they expensive and hard to do?, ive also got to MOT my car do you recon i should change before or after? ie will it affect healight leveling etc...

You will need to clean the projector lens inside and out with either option.

You can get some ultra bright H3 which are brighter than standard or you could get a H3 HID kit of ebay for around £30-£40, easy to fit, but again clean the headlight glass and lense.

they are easy to do, can cost anywhere between £35 and £99, so shop around, and easy to do, its a plug and play affair. just unplug the old bulb, plug the power into the wiring harness and then the plugs into the bulb that comes with the kit, and plug the bulb into the head light, put the box somewhere and job done. it will even go through the MOT, and as its just a bulb, if your headlights are already set level, then no adjusting to be done.

HIDS - One of the best mods you can do to any Z.

 

Cheap, easy to fit, and make a massive difference.

Sorry to drop in, but hopefully this will help the OP too ;)

 

I am guessing these aren't worth bothering with ?

Ebay link 1

 

But these would be what you want, and they just plug into existing plugs without any splicing ?

 

Ebay Link 2

 

Presumably they only replace dip beam, and main is fine as is ?

Re ebay link 1, i bought some and the light seems a little whiter than stock. Lets face it stock look yellow in comparison to HID's lol.

Ebay Hids are crap sull stop. as are the gay blue bulbs. the blue bulbs look nice but give off less light.

 

For a proper hid kit you need to send about £100

:blink: you need to shop around matey, no offence to smithy here, but the hid kit he was selling for £97, you could get the same one, for £50 else where.

 

Just because you don't spend a small fortune, just means you where wise enough to use google and search better :tt2:

Ive had 5 kits off ebay now and everyone was :xxx:

 

on the supra the std bulbs were brighter than the hids.

 

The best i have ever seen and owned were the ones for £120 from DTA and are 100time better than the ebay tat. I have ebay ones on now and there still dangerous compaired to the others and thats a fact

I didn't mention ebay, i said use google and shop around. Ebay is always full of tat half the time :lol:

Although there may be differing qualities from various sources, where do you think most of them come from? China :wink:

 

The digital ballasts are better and seem to be more efficient and reliable than the analogue ones, but if you remember Yowser did some comparisons and there was no difference in output with a 6000K bulb.

Find us a link then because im throwing mine in the bin. lol!!!!

 

Cannot remember the make of DTAs :crying:

Worth bearing this in mind before forking out for a set of HID's. There is a good chance that they are going to start checking them at time of MOT. The new regs kick in at the start of next year.

HIDS4U Pro (HIDS4U.co.uk) :sailor:

 

I've got a set that I bought of Dan two years ago and I've still not fitted them yet :lol:

do you want to sell them :)

do you want to sell them :)

 

no mate, i need them for fitting to my zed when I finally get it on the road.

Just out of interest, has anybody actually BOUGHT this kit off eBay, I traced them back and they dont appear to be Chinese copies, but Romanian ones.

 

Maybe Romanian's make a different kind of cr@p copy....

the blue ones are also not road legal as they are 100w usually and don't conform to some sort of rule. so be careful what you buy.

Mental, which blue bulbs do you mean?
