can get them on ebay under 40 delivered.
fit them your self, i doubt many garages will fit illegal bulbs for you, also doubt they will be careful and not touch the bulbs, and i think on the stilo isnt it a case of removing the bumper or something? they will deffinalty **** it up lol

I meant the whole cluster. They look cool as they are and the bulbs are not that yellow.
Quite so - and they don't dazzle oncoming drivers whilst dipped eitherI meant the whole cluster. They look cool as they are and the bulbs are not that yellow.
Anyone driving around with yellowish lights need to get their electrics or defective bulbs sorted (unlikely to be driving a Stilo anyway
)
all normal halogen bulbs will give off a yellow light.
You driving a lot in France are you
The wavelength if different - this is true of all light sources - and there are even specified standards for 'white' light used for scientific/photographic purposes.
If you really think all halogen headlights look yellow then you might want to visit an optician
all normal halogen bulbs will give off a colour like this-
(yellow) quite clearly you can see they are yellow tinge to them.
and this is hids-
(white)
now surely you can see why he would want hids?

lol, I can see why you would want HIDs on the above but Stilos are no way near as bad as that! The above is just a blurred mess.
On a Stilo, they're a lot whiter (they'll obviously still have a yellow tinge) and you can make out all the detail in the cluster whilst the headlights are on.

Please don't spam the Forum with posts like this which provides no useful information - most people aren't already fully aware of.
Illegal HID conversions of car headlamp systems present a possible danger to other road users and this has been commented on many times on this Forum. I don't encourage promotion of such systems. (discussion is OK)
For your information, I'd agree your image does show an excessively yellowish light but this could easily be due to colour temperature correction of the camera you used or defects within the car's electrics (was the engine running for example)
If you wish to research the output of different light sources scientifically then use Google and you'll find plenty of facts.

you can get fully legal kits from dealer for a stilo
has anyone even got to the bottom of this?
i have never been stopped by the police or flashed at by oncoming drivers.
i also do not see anything wrong with Beau's post. it clearly describes the situation, and YES, normal halogens ARE yellow.
now merry chrimbo

really?
There have been many posts on this subject - with plenty of links provided to the legal situation.
Some kits may well be better than others - that I accept - but unless they comply with the letter of the law then they are illegal.
You may well not have been stopped by the Police (I'm sure they've got better things to do
) but that doesn't change the fact that if you were to be involved in a serious accident, say at night, then your car would be examined very closely for lighting defects.I SHALL MAKE FEW MORE WARNINGS IF I FIND ANYONE PROMOTING NON-LEGAL CONVERSIONS - END OF DISCUSSION!
yeah some one on here was selling a set a long time ago and they was a lot of money then, but they maybe a lot cheaper now
the department of transports view is this as quoted from jug
do the departent of transport have the power to over rule the EU ruling that they are ok or not i dont know.
even if they do it can only apply to he UK
every other country that can log on to ff will have its own laws i reckon
I've seen a few HID conversions fitted to aftermarket cars and the majority of them don't affect me, oncoming or behind me. Its the poorly aligned headlights that really bother me. Thats when they get a taste of my +90 Osram Nightbreakers. See how they like it.
The red heavily modified stilo thats been discussed before, he has very poorly aligned HID headlights. Blinds everyone.
