HID conversion

Featured Replies

Coz I'm a little chavy and my car is blue and with a slight blue colour to the Blubs is the look I want I was planing on buying h7r canbus free kit off ebay but the main beam is separate to the dipped beam Id like both to match without takeing the main bulb out and buying a bixenon

The OP wanted better performance on unlit roads.

 

In your case I've got an alternative idea though. Go to a local coachbuilder and ask him to mix you some Race Blue without the metallic particles in it. That will give you a matched blue tint that will still pass light although it may not be road legal.

  • Do you have the projector headlights designed for HIDS?   If not, don't bother, you'll just be a tool and blind everyone else on the road.

    I'm pretty sure they do them for dual filament too, they'll be a different code though obviously. Try searching "Eric the car guy HID" or something similar on YouTube. I'm pretty sure he did a video o

  • Well, at that rate the quickest and cheapest way to get started with a Furbie is Osram Nightbreaker+ quartz-xenon filament bulbs, although I'd agree soul snatcher24's point about the new H7R plasma di

Personally I'd just buy Osram Nightbreaker+ .

Currently got them on my car and I don't rate them.

As there has been so many things suggested what am I actually meant to do?

Buy a h7r kit for the standard headlights?

Fit a projector to my headlight unit and buy a h7 kit?

Or something else?

Osram nightbreaker unlimited is cheapest, easiest, fair improvement

Projector retrofit then fit hid kit is about £100 but you get excellent output, a fancy cutoff and whiter light (5000k kit is recommended), but involves a little work (seperating lights, although it is really quite easy)

Buy depo projector units and a d2s hid kit, anything up to £400 for the units on ebay, but arguably easier to fit than the aftermarket projector, decent light output, bragging rights on the forum

Fit h7r hid kit, STILL blind everyone and look a tool

There's your options :)

That's a little excessive it's only the same as fitting led side/number/interior leds hids give out a nice light aswell as being abit safer as you can see further

I care enough to buy the h7r but not enough for the depo headlights and ballast

Cheers for the options. [emoji106]

As much as I'd like to get the best I don't have £400 to spend so guess will be retrofitting a projector. [emoji2] but just to be clear if I fit the projectors it's just a standard h7 hid kit?

If you fit projectors, you need D2S HID bulbs and not H7.

If you retrofit projectors (not the whole depo units) it will be a h1 kit, as the projectors are "mini h1" units, that fit into your h7 hole with an adapter plate :)

Have a look on HID planet and Theretrofitsource for how to fit projectors.

 

Best option would be to work up a second set of headlights, then swap the bits out. Ensure you get a kit compatible with H7 original bulb though or you'll be doing more modding.

I was thinking of doing the whole second set of lights but I don't drive my car from Friday morning till Monday night. Would Like to think I'd be able to fit it all in that time? Or is it a big job?

Easily do-able in that amount of time

While we on the subject of lights does anyone now what I'd need to change my rear number plate lights to led?
