HID Kits - Sidelight help
 

Hi All

I have a Bugeye with 8000k Hid Kit. These make the sidelights look really yellow, I'm looking at buying some sidelights off ebay just wanted some advice really,

1. Should I get the blue LED sidelights or white LED sidelights?

2. Also, is there anyway to change the side lights without taking the whole headlight off?

Any help appreciated

I have the 8000k as well mate.
Get white LED sidelights from a reputable place (NOT ebay). If you buy the ebay ones I guarantee they'll fail within a month (I went through a set in 2 weeks) - they're very bright but crap quality.
Search for LED and HID with my name and you should find a good thread.

i got the white led bulbs from halfords to match my hids, better than standard. although i have morettes, you should be able to change bulbs without taking headlight out, have to take the air intake thing off to get to drivers side, and move battery over a bit to get to passenger( i my memeory serves me right). hope this helps.


(p.s. some of the leds on e bay are crap after reading about them on here... )

I bought THESE

Best LED sidelights I've had so far, and I have tried ALOT. Very white in colour and match HID lights very well.

Yea the ebay ones are crap, Ive went through several ones claiming they are bright white. When you put them in, they have a blue tint.

Also tried the ones from Vw the bright white ones they come out yellow tint. Im still on a quest to find ones that claim to have a bright white.

any chance of a front night shot ?

Will try and remember tonight matey.....

Only on pre-sale basis at the moment with our HID kits though.

Prism's quad-LED white 501 sidelight bulbs match really well mate. They come out white/blue. Can get them for about 6 quid in Halfords.

Can anyone post any pictures up please. Because I have the 8000K HID they look a bit blue and would like the best colour match. Think I need whites ones with a blue tinge but not too much blue to get attention from the wrong people, if you know what I mean!!

Thats were my problem lies, as Ive got 4300k crystal white HID's. Every sidelight bulb I try is either yellow or blue. So anyone knows of bulbs that match, please let me know.

These are the ones BOB'5 is sourcing....

P.S. Notice how they throw much more light around the reflector than the cheap quads.

And with 4300 K dip beam on as well !

Thanks for all your help guys. I ended up getting the white Prism LEDs from Halfords. Tried to get the tower LEDs but at the time they were out of stock everywhere. The Prisms look really good with the 8000k HID, colour match is fantastic. A big thanks also to the guys at Halfords in Huddersfield as they fitted them for only £3 even thought they had to take the headlight out.

I was told at the MOT garage sidelights should be more of a yellow colour and should be a MOT failure if too white !!

I can confirm this....mine failed last year with 'too white' led sidelights..
