There's some really good deals on ebay at the moment for HID's brother just got a set for 80. I just got an 8000k set for the bike H4 hi / lo for 50. The old cogger at the junction will defo see me now!!
bought a set of bosch ones in the end , http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWN:IT&viewitem=&item=110114529077&rd=1&rd=1 , 12000k , does anyone think that will be to bright.
The higher the K rating the less light you get, the 12k is pretty blue but looks very good. And is still far better than the standard lights.
yep....had these on my type r.....the brightest are the 3000k ones....the K is the colour temp....the higher the blue'er if you get me and the lower the brighter....4700k are a really nice bulb...very bright and white.....i am going for 8000k as they are quite bright but a hint of blue.
I got 6k and theyre perfect i reckon. Super white with a slight tint of blue. Anything higher looks awful imo.
IMO 120k is too purple. I have HID 6000k which is spot on! daylight light with blue tint and doesnt look chav. White lines and motorway signs are soooo easy to read. Plus isnt 12000k above the legal limit?

its a grey area. I looked into it before buying them.
1. They need to be self levelling
2. Illegal if installed on a range rover or vehicle with headlights exceeding a certain height but mines lowered lol
3. They have to be below 55w standard power. Mines 35
4. The light pattern MUST not be different.
5. They should be EEC Approved and Eurospec which mine is.
The only thing that could make mine illegal from the list is the self levelling bit. I checked all this with an MOT centre.
arhhhhhh........i knew it when i read this thread i culdnt resist , i had HID's on my type r and miss them loads, just flexed my plastic friend and ordered some for my cupra, 8000K, shud be here tomorrow!![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
one other thing..the company who i have bought mine from on ebay say that look out for counterfit hid's such as bosch because bosch do not make hid kits. it could be cow poo but make sure your selller has a good feedback fo the item.
i got 10000k im my leon cupra r and i haven't been pulled yet , been on there 3 months , as long as the beam is on the lowest its okay , other wise people are always flashing me
he has got over 1400 feedback , so all seems okay, there cheap anyway so dont really care if they **** bosch , as long as they are a lot brighter than the standard bulbs
