I want to take them tomorrow in the daylight so you can compare both. I was lucky cos my bro in law ordered the same set as me (6000k) but they sent us 5000k and 6000k so I had a chance to try both. The 6000k has bit more blue tint but I'll post pics tomorrow so you can compare.

[jonro2009]

Cool, no rush, just interested in a decent comparison. Can you post both sets of pics in the new comment so its easy to flick between in the app, cheeky I know lol

That's exactly what I am going to do...

[jonro2009]

Awesome. I may try 5000k next time, I've always had 6 cos tbh it's all I've ever tried and I like to stick with what I know but what's the point when you can compare with someone else, cheers!

Is this a good set H7 HIDS4U Ultimate 35W HID Conversion Kit

Might be easier for us to let you know if you can post a link. Majority of us used HIDs Direct when buying our kits and they get good reviews and provide 2 yrs warranty for the kits.

Use code SOCIAL5 to get 5% discount...

This kit if bit pricey and you can get cheaper ones from HIDs Direct (use above code to get 5% discount). I bought this one and really happy with it:

They give you 2 years warranty and kit is £30 cheaper to the one from your link. It's up to you which one you buy but I can't tell you if one from your link is any better than one from my link. I ordered my kit just after 11.00am and it arrived day later. I'm was also very happy with the quality and how it performs and looks.

A question for those of you that have converted Fabia's with single projector headlight units to HDI's, how do they cope with a headlamp flash in day light please?

[ryno]

you can flash. have them in mine. you'll get used to not flashing. . the bulbs won't last all that long if you flash a lot

A flash is about a useful at t#ts on a camel! The bulbs don't reach temp quick enough, even the quick start ones. As stated above the won't last long if flashed a lot due to the big power draw and influx. You do get used to not flashing it just becomes second nature.

Pretty sure you can still flash if your dipped beam is on for some time as your bulbs should be warm enough.

[jonro2009]

Slotty, that's right. The bulb does nothing when you flash with dipped beam on, the shutter just raises inside the lens.

Aslong as you have the blackpack lights or the preface lift projectors, yeah.

Iv got the silver ones, so hids in high beam were abit rubbish and soon broke for me.

Pics of 5000k taken. Will upload when home...

[Slotty]

Well as promised here are the pics of 6000k and 5000k HIDs...I have tried to take these at the same time but weather was different. I hope these help:

 

First Pic is 6000K, Second is 5000k, third is 6000k and fourth is 5000k:

 

And here are few snaps to show 5000k in the dark:

 

I know the pics where I'm trying to show the difference between 5000k and 6000k aren't great and I'll try to take better snaps when we have some sun or during the daylight.

[jonro2009]

Pics look good Matty.

There isn't a lot of difference really but the 5000k maybe look a little brighter

I'll take few snaps tomorrow is the daylight as it was dark then I took these. Got carried away detailing my wife's VW Polo...lol

I've read most of this thread but admit not all, though I have done a search on thread that has come back inconclusive.

But my question is, has anyone tried these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEAT-IBIZA-LEON-CORDOBA-MAIN-BEAM-H7-CANBUS-ERROR-FREE-LED-BULBS-WHITE-XENON-HID-/151281601463

By all accounts they're very bright but the throw of the beam is terrible.

Try something from HIDs Direct as these are the ones we bought, installed and these work fine. E post the links here.

You can try eBay ones but I wouldn't...there is probably nothing wrong with them but I prefer to buy directly from the website.

[fabiamk2SE]

I sent some pics to ISamage of my 5000k kit via e-mail.

Just wondering if you would be kind enough to upload them to this thread mate?

As it wont let me upload pictures :(.

The link he posted was for H7 LED's, which are supposed to be pretty rubbish.  

 

I agree with you, some HID's from a reputable source are the way to go.
