What HID kit is everyone running on their classic? Which is best and where do I get them from?

 

Do a search, bud, I can't be bothered to get into this with BOB5' AGAIN!

LOL, nicely understated BOB

 

Don't do it retro fit is the only way. Trust me ive tried all options

 

What you mean??

 

Do a search for HID retrofit, or look in Technical Topics Archives

Trust me, it IS the best way for a classic. Done your search for HID's on a classic yet?

 

Been watching this little war of words for a few weeks. Quite funny.
I would love to do the retrofit style but don't really have the skills to do it.
Had HIDs previously on my MY99 and they did light the road much better than standard halogens. I got a few flashes from cars though so I guess the light scatter issue can effect other road users. Anyway the HID set that was on the car died so am waiting to fit one of BOBs kits. Will wait and see but for the money and for people that are on a limited budget or can't do another option I do think HIDs are a worthwhile investment.
Each to their own!
Show me an off the shelf projector unit and I would be a happy man though!

 

Another vote for Retrofit

 

Last I heard, BOB5' was testing some.

Any updates BOB?

 

Lovely darms. Is that an angel eye kind of light. Saw something that looks a little like the BMW ring - looks great.
How much would people pay for a new upgrade headlight unit for a classic?
I guess I would be thinking around the £200 mark (not including HID BULB ETC)
Those in the know may be able to tell me if that is wishful thinking or a possibility if made in bulk?

 

Tried some off the shelf ones on my car and they didn't work well - the projectors were too small or badly designed. Back to the original headlamps and our HIDs now. Would like to find a cost effective soloution, but no joy yet. The next attempt is going to buy in some projectors and new original headlamps - might be a long way off as I'm not convinced they will be cost effective and short on time at the moment.

At the moment people have a choice of going hacking up their headlamps and retrofitting or just sticking with the original headlamps. Either way, HIDs all the way.

 

Cheers mate....... Ya right there, their CCFL's (aka Angle Eyes) got them direct form the manufacturer Wanxy and fitted them to the outside of some Jaguar XJ Bi-Xenon Projectors .

If you were to pay someone to do a projector retrofit ya looking in the region of £500 (well that's what I'd have to charge as its really gotta be worth my while, just too busy these days ).

Makes far more sense to do it yourself mate .

 

Can't see any prices etc on that site..........

 

A Dremel, some nuts and bolts, some glue, a bit of patience and that's all you need.
Give it a go......

 

msn them mate..... they are very cheap and dealt with them direct. They may say to contact their UK supplier, either way - cheap and chips

 

Would definately want those angel lights if I did the retrofit.
Looks superb :-)

 

cheers buddy

Well b*gger me, you're running driver record levels?

Currently looking for crystal lights, being given extortionate prices

 

I may be able to help you out here as i am looking at doing another retro fit on another set of classic lights so mine may be up for sale soon or if you can get the parts for a retrofit i will do them for you. May take me a month or so to do them but dont mind doing them. I am actually thinking of doing a couple of sets if i can get the parts.

 

Are yours like Darms' ones? PM me a price please.

 

For proper projectors? Fitted, or fit-able to a Scoob light?

Or just an aftermarket bulb conversion/ballast kit?

If it's the latter, I'd not bother.........seen it done on a Scoob H4 light and the beam patterns were crap, plus scatter was awful, and main beam was p*ss poor. Brighter? Yes, but long-term useable ? Nope

 

alcazar

I might be able to source you some projectors mate - will pm ya as soon as I here back from my contact.

Whats your budget? also any preference on the make (BMW, Merc, Porsche etc.....) last time I spoke to my mate he had a garage full of them

 

Come on alcazar join the lucky few......

 

I want to put projectors in my morettes, on the outer lens, they are 5 inch Cibie units.
I should look into the depth of what they can take.

 

Didn't know there was a choice.......LOL, which are best?

I'll have what you can get, PM me some prices?
TIA
