General HID headlight kit

[Smally]

Can anyone recommend me a good/reliable HID kit for the best price?
Also what should you look for when buying a HID kit?

I installed fogs into my car so i am hoping that the HID kits are about the same difficulty level to fit?

Thanks in advance

They're dead easy to fit. I bought the 50W 8000k Kit from HIDs Direct. About £70 squids delivered.

Its as easy as changing a bulb, except you have to find somewhere to mount the ballasts. They come with brackets so you can attatch it to the light itself. I'l take a pic if your confused. 30min job - tops.

another thumbs up for HIDs direct. Excellent service and good aftersales. One of my ballasts went pop a week into having HID's and they replaced no problems.

A year in now and still working well - I the ordered 6000k h4 kit.

went to HID direct they dont apear to do grande punto on the drop down list?

EDIT: my bad "punto 05-"

Oh well if thats the case everybody must be wrong. I dont know how i managed to get a HID kit off them either because they dont list the GP.

i take it 8000k is more blue than 4300k

i take it 8000k is more blue than 4300k

8000 is too blue, 4300k is whiter and brighter

Honestly, i'd go for 6000k - Also, phone them, don't go by website. They tend to quote prices cheaper on the phone!

35w 0r 50w?

 

[mehstg]

35w 0r 50w?

Think mine are the standard 35w and they are f*kin bright! - The wattages are not comparable to halogen really as HID's are more efficient.

 

[Smally]

So i should buy from Hid direct and get the
"Supervision 50w Single Beam HID kit"
h4 -1 (Lo)
at 5000k ( this will be the whitest?)

 

[punto_matt]

No you need a H4-3 Dual beam kit otherwise you will have no main beam.

35w not 50w????

 

[punto_matt]

And????? Get the 50w version if you want it.

That better for you???

 

[Smally]

Is their a differance in perfomance between 35w and 50w?

 

[punto_matt]

yeah 50w will slow your car down loads.

 

[Smally]

Don't be a tit! performance isn't always related to the car. As the conversation was about HIDs, what I said was related to the differences between the way 35w and 50w kits perform.
