Hids 4 U Pics Please!

[Jon TDI]

well i'm gonna order them the now so will let u know if they aint that bright...

also gonna go outon a limb and order 5000k aswell as i find some 6000k are too blue for my liking

Mine are the 6000K.
As you can see from the photo posted previously, they are just right - white with a slight tinge of blue.

Just as a side note - because these have soft start ignitors, the "warm up" period is a little longer (approx 60s until fully bright) than normal HIDs

60seconds ?? are they driveable before that, or do you need to wait, I am a jump in and off kinda guy, and also like the autolights, into a tunnel and they come on, will the hids not do that ??

mine took about 10 seconds max. dunno where 60 seconds came from... i too had the 6000k hids in my MK1 Leon.

They're driveable before that & they are bright after a few seconds, but they do take around 60s to warm up fully.

I have a vid some where of me firing them up.

Cheers Jon, answers my question about them staying on with full beam, and as I stay in the middle of nowhere I am straight onto full beam so it would be drivable anyway ...

I think I may go this route. When are yours due mate?

despatched today apparently... wont have time to get them in till prob saturday. so will post pics then

 

[Moley RUFC]

Ordered they same as you S2 but went 6000k with anti-glare

sitting on my lap just now...........


kit looks very well made. i'm pretty impressed if i get home pronto from work tomorrow i'll get them fired in


only thing i'm a bit puzzled about is on the hid bulb itself theres 2 wires wich from the diagram look as if they shud be plugged into something INSIDE the headlight.

anyoen any ideas?

 

[Toxic]

they plug into the existing plug socket for the dipped beam power source

 

[S2TTB]

ahh..... i clipped the wires together and can see that now.

excellent

It's a well made kit & looks very OEM.
Far better than some of the cheaper Chinese shite I've seen before!

Mine should be here today, interested what the anti-glare look like as i've gone for them too

 

[Jon TDI]

I'd be interested too, as they weren't available when I got mine.

Keep us in the loop guys, I will wait and see what you think of the anti-reflective before I order .....

Mine arrived today and can confirm that they look impressively made. I shan't be fitting them until next friday but will report back when done

 

[S2TTB]

the anti glare looks like a matt effect strip along part of the bulb itself. i'll take some pics when i go to fit them tomorrow night
