daft question (HIDs)

[Cupra Kev]

These are UltraBlue sides - I've only changed the drivers side so far (long story trying to get the passenger side sidelight out) but as far as I can tell there's no difference at all - it's still yellow

What about these for sides

Does anyone know how easy it is adding HIDs to the Fog Lights?

Would it be a bumper off job (hope not) and just up on axle stands? Also, I believe they're H4 fitting???

The fogs are single filament bulbs and are something like HB3 or HB4, the ones with plastic connector built into the bulb IIRC.
Where as the H4 are twin filament, i.e hi and lo beam.

Would be easy enough to do, but I'd recommend taking the bumper off to ease the mounting of the ballasts.

I know what you mean about the fogs aswell, I tried putting them on and they are rather pi$$ poor, they only light up about 2m in front of the car.

yeah, it made me laugh and **** my self at the same time on Eckington back roads

I can imagine it did lol.

I've just ordered the following sidelight bulbs from ultraleds, there the brightest they do apparently, so will keep you all updated and add some pics of them. There pricey but should be cool.

These ones

let me know how they are as i want to replace my side lights... unfortunatly you cant take pictures of a bulb as the lens glare is stupid, hence the pic on their site.

where have you ppl mounted the ballasts?

 

[Cupra Kev]

There was a handy hole in the battery cover for passenger side I could bolt it through, drivers side it's currently cable tied through the hole for the headlight adjustment with about 3 cable ties

 

[SeatR]

okeyokey, well i'll figure it out

 

[SeatR]

okey, i was wondering about upgrading my revers lights, they are 581 12v 21w yes?

possible to get a brighter\stronger bulb, to get more light when reversing?

 

[Mat]

HID them FTW lol

Really wouldn't know with the reverse bulbs TBH. Never really had a problem, always thought they gave adaquete lighting

 

[Cupra Kev]

Can't see why you need extra-bright or HID's for any of your lights at the rear

 

[Mat]

I was joking about HIDs

 

[SeatR]

lol hid them would do the job yes ;p no, realy, its always nice to have a good light when reversing, it was only a idea

 

[Mat]

stick head out of window.

that always help. can see more doin that than you can using mirrors

failing that, Night Vision goggles

 

[SeatR]

yaeh night vision goggles would be a lot cooler, think thats the best solution

 

[Adam R]

have HID's in your rear fogs

 

[Cupra Kev]

Man I need to get some HID's in my brake lights and indicators

ok.., im sure every1s getting fed up of this thread being dragged up every five minutes. But I have a question regarding the diane shop on the bay. When scrolling through all the options, they're in pounds but when i select the item it then shows up in Aussy dollars!?? When worked out into GBP it totals at around £50! Has any1 else had this?

 

[Adam R]

your clicking on a forigen sale. try ebay.co.uk then look for thier products

Hmm, cant say i had that problem when i ordered mine a few weeks ago, but looking on ebay now and i see what you mean. mine were £13 and then £22 delivery i think from diane shop but that option isnt on there anymore. The american dollar ones say they post worldwide but you end up paying a fiver more than i did. Best drop em an email mate and see what the score is.
