Leon/Toledo HID Headlamp Guide/FAQ
- Thread starter Nathanio
- Start date
let us know how long the led's last as a lot of the cheaper ones tend to last a few days. mine did so i bought a set from an emarican seller that others have used and these look the same as yours but cost a bit more.
I had my leds in my standard lights for well over a year i got them from this seller http://myworld.ebay.com/warden_jp2002/ and have had other leds from him since, comes very highly recommended.

Just fitted some HID's to my Leon today, had them a few weeks now but been too busy to get round to fitting them!
Fitting was a doddle really, one of the bulbs was a bit awkward to get seated but once it was in all went well!
Fitted 5000k if anyones interested, and the light is PURE white, and IMO of course the best ones to go for, as 6000k has that hint of blue which just looks a bit max power ish.
Not had them aligned, but parked up against a wall the beams look fine, out of interest what number on the dial do people have the lights on? from memory 0 is the highest and 3 is the lowest.

You should have them on 0 for normal driving.
You shouldn't need to adjust the beams if you haven't moved the actual light itself.

been to warden ebay site and looking match sidelights to 6k HIDs.

Hello,
I have an aftermarket HID xenon on my car, but I have a small problem: on the installation guide it was specified to remove the "glare guard", but I didn't do it. The bulb doesn't hit the glare guard. Can anyone explain what the "glare guards" do? What is their role? And which is best, to remove or not to remove them? Thank you.
Plus as above you have the melting potential of the 55's.../QUOTE]

Just had my 55W's delivered
Ah well, will fit them anyway and if they do melt, ill get some projectors or angel eyes
Leave the guards in the standard headlight helps to stop he glare to other motorists.

They should be fine, i think, people use 100/80 bulbs and they don't melt them.

Had them on last night (out playing with them
) for a 2 hour drive! Pulled up when I got home and left them on, the lenses still felt cold, so doubt they will melt...I fitted them during the day. Switched the headlights on before I started and I could only barely make out the beam pattern on the wall of the house. Fitted the HID kit, switched them on and
me, what a difference. Even during the day I could see the beam pattern... Was never too impressed with the standard headlights. Everyone needs these IMO. And I never got flashed once last night for them. Even passed 2 police cars with them on
