HID's for bugeye
Hi
Am new to the forum and also the the world of Scoobies..
I was wondering if any of you could tell me which size bulbs does the Bug eye require as am hoping to buy a hid kit of ebay. Has any of you purchase a hit for your car if so any link?
thanks
Will

Have a look at the group buys section. I got mine from Aztec performance off there and am very pleased with them. I went for the white colour.

Don't fit HIDs to the std bugeye lights, get the STi units or better still the JDM HID units.

Cheers Steven, 99% of customers that have fitted our kits would agree.

It's a good thing you're not running the country then, I thought first past the post voting was bad enough

No, I dont agreed with the H4 HID is no good, I have done few H4 on the bugeye, the result is very good, the owners are very happy with that as well.

No mate, they are perfect.
Post up some beam pics: taken in the dark, against a wall with the car on level ground about 20-30 feet away from the wall, dips first, then main beams. THEN have a look at mine in the thread on "Fitting projectors the easy way".
https://www.scoobynet.com/lighting-a...mpler-way.html Post3
Only by looking at the pics can we tell if they REALLY are as good as you say, or if you are being fooled by the extra brightness,(which you are sharing with oncoming vehicles
)
We've been asking for these pics from a certain poster on here for some time, but they are never forthcoming, just assurances that HIS HIDs are perfect and cure all the ills of the stock lights
So..........pics?
