Halogens vs Xenon HID Upgrade

[Rincey]

i have a 50w Kit in mine and it is fantastic. Did you use HIDS-Direct?

It all fits in the plastic cover too (just)

Im up north over the weekend so if you get any probs let me know as my folks (Wigan) is not far from you.

Carl

Thx dude

Yeah I got them from HID's Direct - hoping that I shall be able to get them done but if you can give me any pointers, please feel free to

You have to break off a couple of tabs inside the plastic housing cover to get all the gubbins to fit but otherwise is a simple job to do

Hehe not even sure what I have to do to remove the light fitting itself yet

it is simple for a mechanical idiot?

Bring the kit along to Awesome on the weekend, we'll get it sorted

I have my little lad this weekend otherwise I would be there like a shot! :(

Yes follow this tutorial i made for changing to continentlal setting

That shows how to take the lights out the car. would imagine its similar on the FL vRS

Just had a look a the guide you put up and all seems quite straight forward - should be interesting

I keep on getting flashed and I don't have Xenons I find the projector beam really throws up high on the near side. eg. If I go along the motorway in the fast lane the large blue signs light up really well from quite a distance away. Having checked alighnment at services all is well?

Not that I'm complaining but as some have pointed out other drivers can be dazzled easily coming from dark driving conditions and think you have full beam on.

I'm never quick enough to retaliate though

[Rincey]

Plus, you only need to be going up a slight incline and that can be enough to dazzle.

Looking forward to seeing what the outcome of mine will be

Well, the kit is here and tomorrow morning I will be removing the headlights for the first time - actually does look quite straight forward
