I managed to get a set of 8000k HID lights on eBay. Fitted them a fortnight ago.

As you can see, this photo shows the standard bulbs fitted.

This photo shows the new HID bulb fitted in the headlight. You can see the difference between the HID and the colour of the Fog light.

You can see the difference between the two lights.

Both bulbs fitted.

 

The kit itself can fitted within minutes to see if it works ok. To fit the kit with the Ballast's mounted correctly will take longer, depending on where you'd like to mount them.

 

For what I paid for them, I can't knock the quality.

 

What ya think ???

Looking good

 

Did you need to drill a hole in the backside of your headlight?

 

cheers.

No. As long as you get the right kit, the bulbs just slot straight in. The kit I bought was the 9005. This replaces the dipped beam bulbs. Check for other kits if you're thinking of replacing other lights i.e fog or main beam.

 

I'm toying with the idea of replacing others but i've just got to find somewhere to mount the ballast's...

 

I do like the 8000k ones but i sometimes wonder whether i should have just gone for the 6500k.

 

I've had nobody say anything or flash me cause they think they're to bright, just my preference.:innocent:

The higher the Kelvin rating the less actual light they put out, I had 6000k bulbs in my last car and that's the highest id ever go, anymore and your asking for trouble due to the extreme blue hue they put out.

 

If you drop down to 6000K you would notice an improvement in light and you'd still retain a blue tint but not in your face like the higher rated bulbs.

 

Either way, great mod. It will be the first thing I do when I get my Supra shortly.
