Advice On Modifications...

Are they pure white Phase? (Pictures are often not very good at displaying true colour)

I want something really crisp, not edging into blue territory...

 

[.Phase]

yeah no hint of blue at all

I'd say more of a yellow tint than a blue!
but tbh they are pure white

Sweet. It's a shame HIDs4u don't do less than 5000k :/

5000k will be a good light though! My 6000k only have a tiny hint of blue.

what are the best LED side lights? & what is the manufactors name for the grey colour that my car is? ha ha

Looks like Platinum grey to me.

As far as LED colour goes these match halogens or 4300k hids: clicky

All others of the SMD type (little yellow square or circle) like these will match 6000k hids.

And the older type of led will match between 6k and 8k: clicky

The first link is the ONLY place I`ve found to do proper "warm white" leds... went through a lot of sidelights before finding them!

Cheers, just bought a set!

No worries, I`ve bought a few from that seller now (as spares), because all others are slightly blue, even ones that say "pure white".

How long do they tend to last...? Had any blow yet?

Had them in a good few months now and they`re fine.
I think the problem people have with led`s blowing is that most of them are rated for 12v, but while your engine is running it`s more like 14v - so they blow quite quickly. But these seem fine.

Just noticed this, I had a 5000k H7R kit from them for about a year, if you want pure white they are spot on.

It took a while messing with camera settings to capture the true colour but these are pretty damn close:

Oh, and those are the sidelights you just bought^^

 

[Chris_a_73]

Sweet! You say " had a 5000k H7R kit from them for about a year", how come you don't have them anymore?

I will definitely be buying a set of 5000k

Any real advantage to getting slim ballasts? I suppose for my 1.2 I'll be fine with normal ones!

 

[Chris_a_73]

Just bought normal 35w 5000K H7R set, £79.95 inc. Delivery

The only advantage is space: with the slim ones I had I was able to fit the entire kit inside the light unit. But if you don`t mind the ballasts and some wiring being visible then it does`nt matter.

Yeah I say "had" as I now have a set of OEM xenons 4300k (see my avatar). Took me a while to get all the bits together, but it`s one of the best mods I`ve done.

Shame I sold the kit really, I was thinking of keeping the bulbs at least because hids4u do the only decent H7R`s out there.
