Default HID Headlights

Been checking the dreaded ebay and i found a lot of people selling these HID headlight kits

Now i've changed the standard headlamp bulbs for xenon ones but havent noticed much difference.

Has anyone fitted these kits and are they worth it??????

I got HIDs on mine... its well worth it IMO... makes the car looks 100 times better !.... at night of course

... Normal bulbs are very sufficient though, so wouldn't change it if all you want is brighter.... changed mine for the look... hehe...

... forgot to say, my ones aint from eBay... don't know what those are like soz.

I've a set of Bob's 4300 HID's and by far one of the best mod you can do, the standard lights are pants.

I would definitely go for a HID conversion if I were you , I've got factory HID lights on my car and I could not go back to standard halogen ever again.

to be honest mate i cant remember 6000k does ring a bell or was it 4300k, i bought them quite a while ago these ones have slimmer ballast than the ones i got on a pervious groupbuy from the same seller and as you said a cracking price

4300 are brighter and more white, the higher the number the more blue the light is

Im running 6000ks in mine. I had them in non-projector housings in my old car and the beam pattern was erratic but they're far better in my prodrive lamps. And they look bloody good too!
