a few may remember i did this conversion on my old hybrid last year but that was on angel eyes and they got smashed to **** when i crashed it. the packs were still ok so i decided to get some h4 lights and do it on standard lights, went for 9000k hid bulbs which on the box say they are a violet colour, anyway it loads better than the normal candle lights :D , few pics...

easy to fit on the angel eyes, just had to file a little off each side where the light goes through, u will understand what i mean if you go to do it, the lights are a little bigger.. the result on angel eys with 8000k bulbs..

afaik 6000k is white and 10000k is deep blue, so lower the number the whiter the lights should be.

no problem at all with std lights, just need to stick the ballast packs down.

They look good, not badly priced considering how much they cost as an option on new cars.
What happens on full beam?
Where did you get them from?

Are they raod legal etc and will they pass an MOT?

I thought there was some regulation about the brightness of bulbs and colours?

not just bulbs, they are PROPER XENONS, not the crappy bulbs you buy, they come with balasts, wiring and bulbs.

if anyone wants the light, i got mine from www.hid-lights.com , they do a discount if u buy over 3 sets i think, best to have a look. full beam goes back to a std bulb which in comparison is proper wank, you can buy the high/low beam kit for an extra £40 which would give you fullbeam hids and lowbeam. when the light are off u can't notice any diff.. not sure if they are legal but after taking the photos i passed 2 panda cars on the way home and neither did a thing.
