Projector headlights

[PhilD]

Ah right cool cheers,do you get the HID dipped beam bulbs from HID direct then like I did with the sidelights? I'll have a look tomorrow but I'm on my phone at the minute

That is where I got mine from. They are defiantly worth the extra money. I would get 6k which are a white light. I had 8k on my old car which are a more bluey colour

There just the bulbs. You would have to buy a hid kit. Don't know which kind though

ah right,phillips xtreme H1 bulbs will do me then,don't want to go to the lengths of buying a HID kit as i rarely drive in the dark tbh,the halogen projector headlights will be enough for me to improve the looks,cheers anyway phil

Let us know what you think to the xtreme bulbs. I bought the diamond vision and I'm not sure they're actually very good....but I did have hids before.

Plus I'm also questioning as to whether they are fake or not! eBay seems full of them

i replaced my OEM H7 dipped beam bulbs with phillips xtreme bulbs a while back and there was a decent improvement and for £20 i can't grumble,don't think your ever going to get pure white light from a halogen bulb

Diamond vision are for styling and not actually for seeing in the dark. They're a blue type of light which is why they'll not seem very good. You're better off with, xtreme vision or nightbreaker plus or ring xenon ultima etc.

I see that now. Shame all the bulbs arent one type so i could have stuck them elsewhere....fogs arent H1 are they?!

Damnit...oh well theyll do for now

 

[Fletch_uk]

No, all H7 apart from cornering lights (Dipped, Main, Fogs)

I thought fogs were H11...I just ordered some of these off Kevin @ Carbon Fanatics and he didn't say I was wrong?

What HID bulb type is in use?

 

[Dedespo]

How can i make the projector lights stronger? I had normal headlights on my previous 197 and i am pretty sure they were brighter than the projectors i have in the current one.

What are the best in terms of brightnes bulbs out there?

PS. My high beams suck as well.
