okey, but them from diane-shop is 35w and the other is 55w ? would'nt the 55w be brighter? or would this be problem with MOT? And if i need new bulbs, is 55w hard to get?

at the price on Diane-shop, im confused and not sure about the quality on the kit?

as in norway such a kit would cost maybe 400 US $? and this cost $17 :S

trust me they are fine! i paid £80 for my first kit and £38 for my second (i have HID's in my dipped beam and driving light (where my fogs used to be))

and to be honest i think the kit i got for £38 is better than the kit i got for £80

ok thanks for helping me out here! ;) but the parking bulb(aka sidelight?) and full beam bulb, what sould i replace those with, to have a brighter light, more like the HiD

just uprated bulbs.

for the sidelights, go to ULTRALeds and get the 9LED 501 bulbs. They look amazing with the HIDs (they're posted further back in this thread)

try http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/ for side lights..

full beam... well this is the difficult one, really normal full beams arnt very good so get some 100w 'off road' H1 bulbs (H1 is the main beam) and they will do.

sure the reflectors wont get burnd with 100w ? Im sure its not legal here, 55w is max, but i've already ordered 1 pair of 6000k hid lookalike 100w H1 bulbs on ebay, so arrest me;D

trust me the HID's are hotter than the 100w bulbs.. and my HID's are fine and so are the reflectors.

max we are allowed here is 80w anything above that is classed as 'off road' but i have had off road bulbs in my cars for years!

Hmmmm damn ... worth a thought ... got some "UltraBlue" sidelights from Halfrauds but they look no different to standard sides ... time to try some LED ones that Lee keeps on recommending :lol:

don't get ultra blue, please. Look chav IMO. All chavs round here drive wi just sidelights (usually blue) and fogs on to look "cool". Tried it myself other day, and can't see ****. Only see about 2ft in front wi fogs alone!
