I can't remember who it was that bought an upgrade kit - I wanted the link to the original place to buy them from.

Cheers!

is there a kit that does a white light - not a fan of the blue.

this is the cheapest place to get them from at the mo!

the 4.3k is the one you want northy, it's the whitest and the brightest, the lower the kelvin, the brighter they are, the higher the figure, then the more blue/violet they get...

4.3k is what they use on standard HID lights, i.e clio 172

Bass would you say the above kit could be installed by a duh like me? I'd like to say I'm competent at wiring but I've never pissed with a cars before...

This isn't a mod for looks for me I've never had worse clio for poor light at night - it is actually quite dangerous how far infront I can see! Did the new headlamps, alignment, bulbs and a meter check and it still sucks - my old valver wasn't the best but not as poo as this!

I'm being spoilt by the laguna and the work van I think - fookin ace beams 8)

ive got a hid kit on mine it a 9k x5 kit which is violet/white ( very blue but still loads of light ) and wazza has a 8k kit but also has high beam xenons which i highly recommend as mine are just low beam and they go back to std when i flick high beam on, last time i looked low beam kit was £100 and low/high beam kit was £160 both inc vat and del from www.hid-lights.com . fitting is a piece of piss and consist of sticking down the ballest packs with sticky pads and connecting the 2 wires to the lights, as easy as changing a set of lights honest. few pics...

Yes mate, as jay says, it's just a bit of wiring and it comes with easy to follow instructions! it's not hard all :)

Cool - Thsoe are the pics I remember 8)

I've emailed that seller on ebay about the kits and if they do both beam conversions - IT's be slightly easier with ebay as that webby's not the most user friendly!

Plus they seem to do the better bulbs than hid do but I suppose they could be changed.
