Technical Angel Eyes + HIDS

[LiamJones]

I'm looking at purchasing some 50w hid's in either 8,000k or 10,000k. but anyway, to make them look more legit and professional, im looking at projector lenses. right?...

I've always wanted angel eyes as well, so im guessing if i put hid's in the black angel eye headlights. It would work better than just hids in the stock headlights?

Would the digital light alignment (up/down) near the fog light switch still work too? incase of dazling problems.

Thanks.

Here's the bit where I become pious over the whole matter - obviously they would still be illegal and you shouldn't really install them. However, this is a preferable option, as opposed to shoving them into the standard reflector lenses.

Now the (hopefully) helpful bit - I believe the angel eyes do not use H4 bulbs. So in order to get full beam and dipped beam, I think you'd need two sets of bulbs?

Does anyone know if i could put h4 bulbs in? or what bulb even goes into the angel eyes. if not, are there any projector headlights that take h4?

H1 bulbs I think I got? Been think of upgrading to hids too! The headlight allignment buttons don't work on these headlamps either.

You would but you do not want HIDs in full beam as they take time to heat up so you flick on full beam and you have nothing.

That would explain why my Dad'd car's main beam is a normal halogen then!

you do get Bi Xenon which is HID for both lights. what i want to know is why people want to install HID on the GP anyway the standard lights are good! well they are 100 times better than my old stilo!

I couldn't agree more! Decent set of halogen bulbs in mine and I'm happy I think the xenon lights look rubbish in the standard reflectors.

thanks for the information guys, just wandering if anyone thinks i could mod the angel eyes to accept h4's? as i dont want hid's in the standard reflectors and i dont want to loose my main beam functionality on the h1 bulbs

 

[punto_matt]

No you couldnt.

 

[LiamJones]

No you couldnt.

Thought that might be the case, do you know if you can get H1 lo beam hids, then use halogens as hi beam, on hids-direct it doesnt really state if they are hi or lo? Im guessing on the angel eyes the projector lens is for low beam? hopefully

H4 high/low's are for replacement of twin filament halogen bulbs like your current ones are they not?

You'd just need regular H1 HIDs and then hallogen H7s for your mainbeam (or the other way around if H1 is main and H7 dipped, can't remember which is which at the mo).
