Ok, so generally people on here just get the H1 low beam kits?


If so, I will just do that.

H7 dipped normally 6000k and a few do main beam just blue 55W H1's, 2 kits draw quite alot of power and if you had them on coming towards me i would be very angry at the fact your burning my eyeballs, 1 et of hids is more than enough, coupled with some bright white xennon effect mains and your good to go.

Ok. so it looks to me like I need the following

http://www.hids4u.co.uk/h7-hids4u-proplus-hid-xenon-conversion-e4-certified-ballasts-pr-3.html

the reflector option only comes in 8000k and 5000k, so I will be taking the 5000k option

and a set of these

http://www.hids4u.co.uk/h1-osram-silverstar-50-bulbs-pair-c-32-p-1-pr-33.html

That should do me fine yes?

Sorry, I just want to be sure before I order.

Thanks
Scott

Ive not found the Osrams to be that great in terms of light colour, the cheaper bulbs are better i think and last just as long as any other

as said they are more expensive from the UK, i got mine from china and japan lol

here are similar to the high beam i got

I see on ebay most H7 kits are around the £50-60 mark after postage, on hids4u they are about twice the price, is it worth paying double the price? Do you get a better quality of light or something??

Also, is it projector or reflector i should go for? Whats the difference?

Cheers

No just buy them off ebay and they are even cheaper than you say, have a search.

You can get H7R for reflector lights as per a standard Leon headlight.

Projector are like my Angel Eyes.

You'll dazzle oncoming traffic more the R means there is a coating on the bulb to reduce it

www.vvme.com is around £38 delivered. I just ordered a second set from them for the missus' car. My set has been in for 4 months now and they are great. Very high quality set, you can google them for reviews from other users.

The ones I got from there is just the standard H7 conversion kit. Not sure if they are the reflector ones. But I had to get my headlamps adjusted post fitment as they were dazzling oncoming cars. But once adjusted they were fine.
