Default HID kit for HB3 bulb?

Has anyone fitted a main beam HID kit for Blobeye? The bulb is HB3.

Where to buy?

Yeah. I have aftermarket lights and have fitted two kits - both Hid in H3 size

One kit is for normal beam and is 35w, and the other is full beam and 50w.

I also have a spare kit in 50w. Pm me for more details if you like?

( colour temp is 6000k )

Chris.

Mate, there is a world of difference between HB3 bulbs and H3 bulbs.

Also, the idea of a 50W HID is fake: the ballasts are 50W, yes, but the bulb is the same 35W. No 50W HID bulbs yet exist.

Cheers for the replies.

Chris, I'm looking for 4300K which is the bright white to match my low beam.

Alcazar, I was doing some Googling and it looks like HB3 is also called 9005?

I was talking to a mate of mine who runs a garage that do MoT's and he told me they'll be illegal very soon.
