Want to order some xenons, quick question

[kieran]

Hi all,

I know the subject of Xenons has probably been covered a million times, but i'd like to order some and i'm an impatient git when it comes to ordering things off the net!

Basically i want some decent (tried and tested) dipped xenons for my Cupra R, but i don't want to be waiting ages for them. Ideally i want to order some today and get them tomorrow or Wednesday

Anyone know anywhere that sell them in this country that are competetively priced and good?

I hear that 6000k is the best bulb to go for as well, to prevent getting pigged?

Comments and links welcome, wanna get my order in!

Cheers

Go for HID - much better

 

[kieran]

What's the difference? I thought xenons/HID were the same... lol

 

[Cupraloon]

Xenon bulbs are just that bulb replacements, normally not a much cop unless you buy well known brands like philips gt150 (£30) or spend a lot of money on piaa (£40-70) replacement bulbs.

Hid's are a replacemnt bulb and a resister pack these drawn much less current than normal bulbs or repalcement bulbs and operate at a lower wattage normally around 35w but put out a much better more powerful spread of light probably the best ones to go for are 8000k which have a truer whiter light.

Ok.. i've just been having a look on the HIDS4U site, and some of their stuff looks good.

I just want H7 dipped beam but i'm a little confused as to what i actually need, as the products aren't really laid out particularly well.

Can anyone point out which kits work with the Cupra R?

Thanks.. !

 

[Cupraloon]

have a look at the hid guide here ---> http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=104059

this might help a bit..


the dip beam on the lc/lcr is an H7 so any kit's that are 8000k with a H7 bulb will do it..

I've got a set at home waiting to go on

 

[kieran]

The kit on ebay looks pretty good, tempted by those.

Why do you recommend 8000k? 6000k is brighter, is there a reason you guys go for 8000k? look better?

I have a set of hids4u on the bike and some from mydepots on the leon they are virtually identical apart from the slightly shorter bulb/metal base (hids4u) which you don`t need with a mk1 leon. Mydepots are very cheap in comparison and definitely worth the money, mine work perfect. You don`t need to spend £200

I remember looking at that kit when i was reading a guide on here, but i'm far too impatient to wait for delivery from the states

 

[richybigman]

Lol, they don't take too long to come through.

 

[kieran]

I want them like yesterday though, lol

Whats the wait like on that store from the states?

 

[richybigman]

Mine came in about a week, so it wasn't too bad.

[kieran]

Hmm might order some from the states then, i've heard they're pretty good. What are your opinions on yours?

 

[Willie]
