Technical lighting upgrade

WelshBravo · Jul 17, 2015

Hi, bought a 2007 bravo recently, just wanted some recommendations for a HID kit, sidelights, tails and fogs? I'm pretty lazy so I'm looking for plug n play. And I was wondering has anybody upgraded their indicators to LED?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

This is what I'm looking at on eBay.

It's not just a FIAT. It's a way of life.

Yep get that, the Hawk kits are brilliant, I've been running mine for over a year without issue.

Ah sweet, that's going straight in my basket. Any recommendations for sidelights, lisence plate bulb and that?

so on ebay it says the above kit needs additional things to make it work I you have canbus, seeing as we all have the canbus do we need additional things to make the HIDs work or not throw up an error?

Matthewr1990 · Jul 18, 2015

No Canbus system on sipped beam, you will need resistors for sidelights and number plate lights though. But as far as HID's are concerned, they're plug and play.

awesome, I'm convinced now. What I find is cool is that a set of HIDs are cheaper than 2 standard **** bulbs from Halfrauds...

Welsh bravo post up a pic of your bravo?where abouts you living could I have finally found a bravo buddy?
With regards to your lights sidelights and number plate lights you will need the below order them x 2 as they come in a pair?

Btw even though the LEDs are error free you still need those resistors?

Just don't buy any led that says Canbus free. They have resistors built into the bulb that heat up whisky converting the current, and they melt and blow. This isn't a horror story. It happened to me. Fill my headlight with smoke and heart melted the plastic housing. Buy standard LED's and then add your own resistor.
