Have been thinking about HIDs for a while, but having read this:

Thought it might interest someone else.

I've been thinking a bit. (Yeah, I know, not good.)

I've a H1 HID kit intended for the low beam in my projector angeleyes, which I've never gotten around to fit.

What if I put the H1 HID kit in my high beam sockets in the original headlamps. What kinda light output would that give? Same as if I used it (the H1's) as low beam? Would think so.

If that's right, I would've the same light output on the high beam as I would if the kit gets installed as low beam in the angeleyes. Scary. Not strange at all, if some aftermarket HIDs installations makes my eyes hurt.

Any ideas, people?

I have finally got round to updating the pictures so they should show again now

I had to replace a bulb on my drivers side as the bulb went flickery. Ordered a replacement from Hids4U and they sent out for next day and works perfectly. Not cheap at £30 each but it works and the ballasts were still good so I replaced the bulb. Not what I needed when Liz was going in for an op that day but all sorted now

I`ve just received a set of HID`s from diane-shop on flea bay, superb speed of delivery(5 days!) and thoroughly impressed with the price and results.
For the record I bought mine from the American Ebay as the £ is strong against the $ at the minute, I paid: US $79.00 / £38.94!!!
Excellent price considering there is £6.50`s worth of stampage on the box.

 

[Nutkin]

if you go australian dollars its even cheaper. but i missed that too

 

[Jekyll]

Heh, damn, even cheaper? Man how does the dude(ette) make a profit on em?
Not that i`am complaining mindyou.

only a £1 cheap mind so not much comparing to price. but if you look ha has like 20 works chained in a room for 30p a day. and if he sells 100 a day hes making big profit.

Cheers Man, they're not so blue as It may apperar from ads, it's nice bright white-blueish color, lit objects are a bit blue-tinted, but it's more like white under UV light (color temp is approaching UV spectrum..;-)) I've seen really blue ones, but dunno what that was, but that was too much... Looks like 4500-6000k has most supporters, but I'm glad I picked this one and it's got a lots of "me-like"ers... LOL
