HID. Which type of bulb?

[Yiannis197]

Hello people. I had a look around the forum but I couldn't find a clear answer, hence the new thread. I'm looking to fit an HID kit for main and dipped lights but I am not sure about the type of bulbs. I have the projector headlight on my R27 so I guess I'd have to buy an H1 for the dipped (Can bus or not??) but what about the main ones? Are they H7 or H1?? The sidelights are 501 right? (please correct me if I'm wrong). What about the fog lights? Any whiter options and which bulb? Thanks a lot!

Dipped are definitely H1 and the sides 501's as you state. I believe the main beam is H7 but not definite about that.
Fogs are H7 too I believe?

For bulbs/upgrades, have a look here.

Thanks Daz.
Do you know if the kit needs to be Can-bus compatible?

 

[daz]

No it doesn't, the 197 doesn't have a Can-Bus system

That's brilliant. Thanks Daz

Thanks SarGara, I've ordered the same kit but 6k for both dipped/main. Looking forward to fitting them!
