    Opinions HID Kits?

    Hey all, Lookin some ideas/input on HID Kits for the williams

    Love the look of the HID, but unsure if it will take the retro look away from the willliams??

    Do the willy lights/lenses put up with the higher temps from HID??

    Anyone have these fitted? can you recommend a kit?? Prices??
    Also if i want Bright Ice White (not blueish) what Kind do i need to buy??

    Thanks
    Thomas

    ive got some fitted to mine. and i think they complement it well. doesnt detract from the look of the car. mine are 80K brightness, and white. remember they are not meant to be road legal?? but luckily my car always passes the MOT with them.

    They are the same as mine. Took a bit of time to get them set up, but they look great.

    If you want white, you want them to be around 5000 K mark (regular bulbs are around 3-4K). Maybe up to 6K, and then they get blue.

    Without lenses you can get scattered light and you blind oncoming traffic.

    If you fit some lights with lenses, you take away retro look.

    They will be illegal anyway, so you might have some problems when MOT comes.

    iirc the bulbs are longer than standard h4 s as well ,otherwise i would be
    quite tempted to bang some yellow h4 hats over them !!!

    I run 6k HID's in my 5gtt and they are fantastic nice being able to see where driving at night

    You can get yellow coloured HID's for that OE look
