What "K" do we need?
i think it depends on your preference.
I think 8k is the most popular

oh no!
I'm going to be blinded!
make sure you point them down!
mine are 6000k £120, hi lo kit, be sure to get the hi/lo kit otherwise you wont have a main beam.
Ive just fitted a set of these to my williams, I can actually see the road ahead now lol :D
nice one
Fancy leading a group buy craig ?? One suitable model at one price 5 kits ???
spoke to my mate he can do the following:
H4 fitment £105 + £8.40 postage and H4-2 £110 + £8.40 postage
Whats H4-2??
Are they prices for a group buy Craig? And i assume hi/low beams?
Gimme a shout if you want em.
Are H4 on the clios arent they? Can't remember now, sold mine a while ago.
Basically they will need the H4-2 kits with a halogen bulb for the flashers and main beam. Then the HID works on dipped.
Kits I get are quality and I can take paypal to paulmarshall5@hotmail.com
or can take cheques if people prefer.
Thats a very low price and been selling them for other cars for £130-£140 a kit.
I will need 5 + people to order though to do them for that price.
This is 8000k
http://www.lancer-evo.net/community/uploads/night2_web__small_.jpg
6000k is more white. and 4000 even whiter. 1000k is really blue and 12000k is purple! lol
Hi/low is whats needed on the clios unless you dont want your main beam to work.
main beams do work but it just goes back to the std colour which is well shit in comparison.
Yeh thats it mate
Its possible to fit Bixenons but they are double the money as have double the kit basically. H4-2's are fine, loads better than the standard candles :roll:
um the kit midge has is a bi-xenon high/low, u can pick them up pretty cheap now, midge paid £130 for his afaik from e-bay. they have come down alot in price as when i got my kit ( just dipped hids ) i paid £160, can get them for £100 all in now, hi/low beam kits were £250 at that time but have now come down to £160, all inc vat and delivery from america. if anybody wants the site i got mine and wazzas from its: www.hid-lights.com

can these kits be fitted to morretes? bearing in mind my side lights, dipped beams and main beams are all in the outside rings, inner ones do nothing. cood be intrested if theyd fit
dont see why not mate if they are a standard bulb fitment :)
Must get this done on mine as the headlights are way past poo on mine...
im interested as well paul.
how much added weight is the kit? :oops:
any pics of the components, and how do they work?
i want some of these as the lights on my track car are poop, but dont wanna go adding lots of weight and wires everywhere, as i have the lights in and out a fair bit.
cheers. 8)
heres Pics of the actual kits I have.

Weigths hardly anything to be honest mate. The ballast is the only extra weight really to normal bulbs, prob couple of kilos max, prob do heavier shits lol.
look good.
forgive me for being stupid but where does the ballast go? :oops:
wherever you can mount it really mate.
they come with a bracket, for each.
normally inner wing or inside bumper or somethin. wherever you got space really
the ballest packs weighh around 1-2kg each and are fitted in the space under the headlights, the kits come with double sided sticky tape so u can stick them down, no drilling need. u can get them for any light firment, id imagine the morretes would take a h1 fitment bulb so u only need the low beam kit.
yeh can get any fitment.
they have everything needed for fitting them in the kit. you ca either stick em or use the bracket things.

Bear in mind the more blue you get the less light you get out the lights, as the Kelvin number is inversely proportional to the 'brightness'.
Eg 6000K will give you the most visibility but pure white light, whereas say 10k will be blue but give you less visibility.
Yeh thats right. 4k and 6k is meant to be best for visibility, i think 8k and 10k looks cool tho 8)

I'm very tempted to get a kit....not sure whether to go for the 6k or 8k....definately want it for high and low beam anyway. How many peeps are interested in doing a group buy so far? :)
Just to let people know also that the cheap ones on e bay arent the right ones. The H4-2's cost more from e bay than they do from me as I asked them for prices myself :P

Paul just to confirm, these kits are NOT bi-xenon and only have a xenon beam when the headlights are dipped??
Yes matey
I can get Bi Xenon but there is really no point, they are a lot more expensive as have 4 ballasts and HID is no good for flashers as it takes a second or so to ignite fully.
Ok fine. Do you provide any warranty with them?
Years manufacturers warranty with them yeh.

I have an ask around and the BiXenon kits seem to ship with only one ballast.
See pic below:
http://www.hids4u.co.uk/dbimages/page_hids4u%20kit%20009.jpg
I am interested in getting some form of HID but i really don't want to go back to the standard halogen shitty brightness for the full beam.
Also i've read that most decent BiXenon's can flash on high beam from cold with no latency (i.e. no delay). However as i havent actually seen a set in the flesh i don't know what to believe!
Who here has bought an actual Bi Xenon kit not just a H4-2??
Think that may be a H4-3 kit mate. they have another filament inside i believe.
i think the H4-2 uses the Xenon bulb and a seperate halogen bulb at the same time. i need to get mine fitted to see exactly how it works. the proper bi xenons do use 2 ballasts though

grr i thought they were hid on both beams...what are the orices on the bi xenons?
I dunno why you would need them to be honest, the low beam is a lot brighter than the normal halogen bulbs even at hi beam. The hi beams only really needed to flash and for MOT purposes, so halogen is good enough.
From my supplier the Hi/Low HID Kits are £150 cost to me! I'll see if I can get some cheaper but I can't vouch for the quality of them.
Right Have sorted some Hi Low Xenons. £125.00 a set inc postage to your door. :D

I deffo want the more expensive hi/lo version on 6k bulbs - I want both beams upgrading as its pitch black for 14 miles from mine to the missus and i'm struggling now even on full pelt.
ok, so how many people still want em?

You are getting confused mate. Hi/Lo does not mean that both high and low beam will be xenon it just means that you won't lose your high beam functionality.
As Paul has said, ONLY the low beams will be HID. The high beam will be halogen (the same as the standard candle sticks fitted as OE)
Paul, regarding the 18month warranty, is it through yourself as you are the reseller or direct with the manufacturer? If so, who is the manufacturer?
Well then its not gonna be good enough for me by the sounds of it, like I said on full candle stick beam Its not enough so normal beams just gonna get better/ as good as hi beam but I'm still down on lighting the road...

Through manufacturer matey.
although i can contact them on peoples behalf.
the kits i can get use hi and low beam on HID's, have a magnetic movement in em to adjust the beam
Paul, the magnetic movement is only used in Bi-Xenon kits to adjust the beam arc. Hi/Lo kits have two bulbs and therefore don't need a magnetic field to affect the arc.
I am confused because you said before that these are hi/lo with one hid and one halogen bulb, now you are saying they are hi/lo both being hid. This means they are bi-xenon and what everyone is after :wink: . Can you please clarify what they are and post some pictures of the product.
£125 for Bi-Xenons or £125 for hi(halogen)/low(hid)

£125 Bi/Xenons
ahh well if they're bi-xenons i'm in!
Yeah i'm in too for the bi-xenon's.
Any pics of the kit fella? Who is the manufacturer?
Sorry just an update,
Price for the Bi Xenons is £135. The cheaper ones I had to pay for them with Western union and i didnt fancy that.
Will check on the supplier.
I need at least 5 sets to get them at this price and I'm making literally a few quid on them lol.
c'mon lads!
3 so far and I'd like to not crash too often through the dark evenings :lol:
got any pics of them working ??
if they are a lot better i will deffo be in for that :D

GHEEEEEY!!!
GHEY!!!!!
GHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY!!! ! :lol:
how much are they without a group buy?
How hard are these to fit ??
do you need to cut into the relay wires? or do you unplug the current wires and just plug stright into the relay so no need to rewire
no rewiring needed, its plug and play, only thing you may need to cut is the black plastic cover that goes over the back of the light ( so you can fit the extra wires through )
Would these be affected by under or overvolting ? I'm guessing the regulators maintain 12v constant, so suppyling them with more than 12v wont give any better lighting? (i.e. good alternator and rewiring will give 14.4v to the headlights).
just plug and play yeh :)
I need to get at least 5 sets to get them for 135 quid a set. Ideally 10 sets because i make literally pennies on em lol.
no pics of them yet, not got mine fitted yet cos keep sending any out as soon as they come in lol.

I want some myself but want to see what theyre like first.
